Replacing a Dull Sky in Photoshop Elements

By adding a layer mask, we can apply the adjustment more in some areas and less in other. Where the mask is black, the adjustment will not affect the layer at all. Where the mask is white, it will show the adjustment 100%. To learn more about masks, see my article, All About Masks.

18.) Now double click the regular layer thumbnail for the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to bring up the Hue/Saturation dialog box. Drag the Hue slider to -20, Saturation to +30, and Lightness to +80 and notice how the sky changes as you slide. See how the lower portion of the sky is more affected that the upper portion?

19.) With these values, click OK to the Hue/Saturation dialog.
