Darkening or brightening a sky

“

- [Narrator] The linear gradient tool is great for darkening or brightening skies. It applies the effect strongest at the top and gradually fades off. Activate the tool. Hold the Shift key to keep it straight and drag down from the top. Release the mouse below where the effect should end. Adjust the Exposure slider to darken the sky. Add saturation. And now let's make the sky a brighter blue by adjusting the temp. And now your photo has a beautiful blue sky and a mountain that really pops.
