Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 - ebook project

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom - Selective Color Control - Creating a Really Blue Sky.

More often than not, we end up with a washed out sky when we would like something really dramatic. There are of course some really complicated methods for dealing with this in Photoshop CS but in Lightroom we have been given a very simple way of dealing with the problem in just a couple of very easy steps.

1. Open your image in the Lightroom Develop Module.

2. Open the HSL Panel to get at the Hue, Saturation and Luminance controls.

3. Select the Luminance control panel.

4. Select the Target Adjustment Mode button. That little circle the cursor is pointing at in the top left hand corner of the Luminance panel.

5. Click on an open sky area on your image and drag your mouse down to darken the sky. Notice the Target Group Luminance read-out in the panel at the bottom of the window. The final effect is sort of like a digital polarizer.

6. Check too see that there is not too much noise created by your action and adjust the Noise in the Detail Panel if necessary.
