Today we continue looking at our landscape image. We've already corrected the exposure in the sky but now it's time to get a little more creative by bringing the sky and ground tones together and then adding a smoke coloured filter. We also fix up some more light issues and refocus the viewer's attention using a little more adjustment brush.

Today we work on a landscape image with an over exposed sky. We do some cropping and rotation to begin with followed by a little spot editing to remove some distractions. Then we get to work with the Graduated Neutral Density Filter to fix up the sky and bring the tones in the image closer together.
