I took this shot a the Getty Villa a few weeks ago shortly before sunset. Does anyone know how to get rid of all the purple? There was just a hint of purple in the sky in the original three photos, then the processing in Photomatix really exaggerated it. I’m going to keep posting pictures like this one – soothing type pictures – until I hear back from all the graduate schools I applied to.

Here’s another photography question, in case I actually get a reader: should I get Aperture 3 or Lightroom 3? Since I’m asking this question, I obviously don’t have Photoshop. Given that I currently edit my photos in Picasa and Photomatix, which software do you think would give me the largest set of interesting, new things I can’t already do?
