Cool effect for skies, but... you still can't cancel out reflections. Polarizer and graduated neutral density filters are the two types of filters I highly recommend for getting the shot "right" in camera.

| Yes, I agree, and I realized I should have made that clear but it was too late, Thank you for pointing it. Ed. |

Nice effect. I also liked the reminder that I can use color range to select and create masks. A nice shortcut! :)

| Hi, I'm a racing photographer; fairly new to digital. I often have a problem with a blown out sky, as I have to meter the horse or some other feature and forfeit getting a better saturation. I don't have a choice in the matter as I can't expose for both. In Winter often there is nothing but a light cyan colour, or almost white sky. So, does anyone have any suggestions to get around this? I tried the tutorial, but it just darkened the main subject and left the sky the same. I have only just got CS3 too. I need the effects to be spot on, as I submit to the press. Cheers, Steve. |

| A graduated ND filter might help... |

Faking a neutral density filter in Photoshop will do it. Use gradient, foreground to transparent, reverse it with check box. Change layer from normal to Overlay.In the gradient fill layer bring up the gradient ramp again and drag the white opacity stop to the left which will move the bottom of the gradient upward from the ground. No preview so it is trial and error. It helps if you sky has some clouds rather than just white but it will darken the sky. Hope this helps.
