effect of pulling back in the sky with more emphasis on the upper part of the image.
6. Resize or move the gradient as needed for a best fit and click the Done button to apply it.
7. You can also touch up edges of the Gradient Mask using a brush with decreased exposure
and set to a low Opacity such as 20%. Brush over any areas that need additional blending.
8. Click the Gear icon in the Mask toolbar and adjust the Density and Feather controls for
smoother blending.
9. Click Done when satisfied with the Mask.

Note
The desert or the ocean is the best place to shoot the sky. This is often because the amount of
environmental and light pollution is greatly reduced and you often have a strong horizon line. Don’t
worry; just keep your eyes out for a great day with beautiful skies and remember to shoot them.
