@Scorpionjp65 your welcome, thank you

[flickrsteve]

That's great and you've explained layer masks to this noob so well. Thank you!

@flickrsteve Thank you, now that Elements has layers it's become rather powerful. No way I'd buy CS5.

To use a layer mask you can open a layer for HUE and don't alter it at all then you have a layer mask that you can work on.

Nice and simple, great effect for a little effort good job, never mind grad filters I used this method to introduce a sky from another photo, with a little triming

[appacana]

good video thanks. but i can do this in one shot using grad ND filter.

[newtophoto]

@appacana Yes you can, that is one option and does save a lot of time in post.

@newtophoto thanks a lot man this is very good if I forget my filters

really nice picture mate.

would it work the same way in lightroom 3

kind regards

@hikinguphigh Lightroom doesn't have layers so it won't work the same way, you can't blend 2 pictures together. LR does have filter effects so you use a gradient filter to darken the sky of a single image but it won't bring back any detail. Best bet would process the 2 pictures in LR, then send to photoshop for blending.
