Enhancing The Sky

The point of this tutorial is to bring out the color of the sky more and bring out the details more efficiently without causing too much tampering with the original photo.

In order to enhance the sky in a photo you must first choose a picture that shows both the sky and the ground. There must be a contrast between the sky and another object in the photo for this to be affective. Upload the photo and create a new layer in the “layers” toolbar at the bottom right of the screen. Then choose gradient from the “tools” toolbar. Go the image and right click and then choose the “Foreground to Transparent” box, second one in from the top left row. Then click in the sky portion on the picture and then click down in the picture where the sky and ground or object meet. Then go to the "Layer" toolbar and choose "Overlay" from the drop down menu. Then choose Add Mask Layer in the "Layer" toolbar. Then choose the paintbrush in the "tools" toolbar. change the foreground color to black. Paint over the areas you want to keep the original color and you're done.
