I took photos of Double Arch while on a trip to Arches National Park, Utah. I’ll be showing how I processed this photo three ways with Corel PaintShop Pro 2021.
Prior to trying various effects, I increased the brightness, contrast, fill light, and clarity. Since this photo was taken from a distance, I also adjusted the sharpness.
The first two show the original image and the same picture with a Film and Filters effect. For this image I went to Effects>Photo Effects>Film and Filters. I selected Warm Earth Tones from the first pulldown menu and Warming Filter from the second one. The filter intensified the color of the arches and darkened the sky.
The next two show the original image and the same picture with an Infrared effect. For this image I went to Effects>Photo Effects>Infrared. This effect softens the edges and highlights the contrasting vertical lines of lichens on the arches.

For this image I went to Effects>Reflection Effects>Rotating Mirror. To me, this looks like a giant raptor of stone flying right at you. You never know what you’ll get with this effect! 😀

Utah is full of hidden gems. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, it is! Thanks for stopping by. 😁
These are super cool. You got some great effects with the different colors and the mirrors. It is fascinating how different aspects of the scene are brought out by the different effects.
Thanks! It's fun to see what you can do with all the effect. 🙂
Nature is beautiful ❤️
Yes, it is!
The effects are really neat especially when you use the sliding thing. I'd like to see this park in person one day.
Thanks! It's become so popular now that they're doing timed entry.
Magnificent.
Thank you!
