Gamma Adjustment

I started with this image.
Before Gamma
I wanted it to look more sunny as when the picture was taken it didn't look quite so drab. Adjusting the gamma a little (1.40 linked) gave a nice result.
After Gamma
I started with this image.

I needed to change the colour to use on other web pages, so I used colourise.

I started with this image.

And this image.

Somehow, with April's help, I ended up with this!

The original psp file is linked here. I'm not exactly sure of the settings i used on the effects, but I will tell you basically how I did it.
Firstly I created the mask on the rocky image, and used an oval shape on the mask with a partial fill to create the selection.
I adjusted the gamma of themsunset image slightly as it looked too glary.
I copied my selection and pasted it over my sunset image onto a new layer.
I decided the edges were too defined on the oval so i inverted the selection and modified it by expanding it into the image (I hope that makes sense). I applied a gaussian blur to this.
I added the text, using an inner bevel and drop shadow.
