I appreciate your response, and understand what you are saying. I have solved my problem. I am quitting this program, taking the iMac Retina back (no real difference in my current i7 PC), and will never take another picture without outstanding sky. Problems solved. Maybe I should run for President.

All of it. It starts out very quickly, and is about some other topic, then he brings in a RAW image to play with from I don't know where. I used to be a teacher. This is the only specific video on this subject, and the guy may know Affinity, but he isn't a teacher and has no clue on how to do a straightforward presentation, especially for the beginner. If that is the best you can offer, let me know and I will close out my trial period and return the iMac. I almost got how to do this on Gimp, but could never finish correctly, again, due to poor instructions. I have multiple degrees, and while I am 66, I like to think that I am intelligent. It took me about 2 hours to figure out Lightroom. I need serious help with this, from the first step to the last. Again, any help appreciated.

Novice. OK with Lightroom, but cannot fathom this program. Really need someone to walk me step by specific step through adding a sky to a picture without one. I am usually a geek, but this is beyond me. I have the trial of this program, and bought an iMac Retina solely to try this program. Normally a PC guy. This is the only thing I need to master to take my professional Landscape photography to the next level. You can see my work at davetallyphotography.com. Please save my sanity. I viewed the only video I could find on this topic, and could not follow it as to me, it assumes you are already versed in this program. Any help appreciated, and if you are really good, I might send you one of published books. Thanks. Dave Tally
