Re: 2 Step Process to get Dramatic Mono Skies
Nope.... should say the process was applied to the "before" pics ....not straight from colour....plus you can repeat process to get even darker background to sky

Re: 2 Step Process to get Dramatic Mono Skies
Time to share
Step 1: Add a layer Gradient  Make sure gradient is from top to bottom ....you may need to click reverse tab. Notice how the shot looks now  Step 2: Change Blend mode from "Normal" to "Overlay"  Job done You can of course add another gradient layer & I find around 20% opacity is the limit. You can also play with gradients to alter how far they come down the screen. Anyway , hope it may be of use & happy playing
