How Do You Reduce Minimal Blown-Out Skies in Forest Images?


Recommended Posts

Not to waste space, I'll link to the images I posted in "Which Adjustment or Live Filter Is Most Often Wrongly Used in Landscape Edits?"  The glare in the sky is distracting. I have watched Mr. Ritson's videos as well as others about how to edit blown-out skies, but these videos almost always deal with images in which the sky is a major focal point in the image's composition. In the photos in the linked post, the sky is inconsequential to the composition. I just want to get rid of the glare. If there is a way to do this, I would appreciate any responses that address that specific adjustment. 

Thank you.

Hi American :)

Try using a Shadows/Highlights adjustment and reduce the brightness of the sky highlights - you may find it reduces the overall brightness of the image, but this can be returned using a Brightness/Contrast adjustment. I hope this helps!

Please note -

I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible.

Many thanks!
