Of course do they require a bit more work when photographing, but I think it will save more time in PP.

No, software can only work with data that is there. With blown out skies, there is no detail or color data to work with.

did you try copying the sky to a different layer and setting it multiply? need it darker? copy the layer again.

Oops, sorry. Please let me rephrase my question.
Can the effects of using a polarizer be imited using the camera controls itself? eg. under-exposing, etc? |
