Very well explained - thank you! The Range Mask intersected is as you showed in 2 examples - is wonderful!

Perfect processing! I'm learning heaps, thank you!

Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing!

Christian, Thank you very much for your extraordinary presentation! The sky is getting more beautiful! Your efficient processing helps me a lot. A truly inspiration indeed.

Really useful video for landscape shots. Great!

Had the same happen yesterday without a polarising filter. I just embraced it since it actually looked quite cool.

I learned the lesson about polarizing filters and wide angle lenses the hard way this past summer. This is a nice tutorial on how to mitigate in post. I would comment that your final image looks even more polarized, and I would dodge/burn that central peak much more extensively.

Thanks for the comment! The final image does have a depper sky indeed. I just really like the look of it :-) To counter the problem I would have to raise exposure and bring it more in line with the rest of the sky

Perfect as always 😊

very useful! i'm always careful with polarizer and blue skies tò avoid this problem...

Excellent. Thank you.

Nice tutorial 😊

Moral of story for me: don't use polarizer, and if you do, look at what you are getting and dial it back. Using a LrC Dehaze filter and adding some vibrance delivers a better-looking image anyway on those I've worked on.

Interesting! What's the name of the hut in the back?

Dont know the name of the hut, but this is passo gaiu in the Dolomites with the hut on top :-)

Sorry Christian, I don't understand the logic of this at all. You go to great lengths to mask and brighten the dark part of the sky, then darken the light part of the sky, then afterwards use different masks to do exactly the opposite! You could just have left it all as it was! I am a great fan of your editing, but this has me completely flummoxed.

I think the theory or how i see it rather is use the masks as explained to even out the colour so the transition is even subject drpende, then adjust accordingly to one’s personal preference, myself find it easier if the colour of something is more even rather than different shades which can end up messy when trying to target different areas, then you can manipulate the areas you want to target to your taste, think of it as one solid colour and you put the lighter parts or darker where you desire, hope that makes sense, just my thoughts.

Exactly, very often he completely overdo theses edit and he went completely lost in this one. The original sky was already what he spent 10 masks to do......

He's just showing the two ways you can attack the problem: Lighten in the first case, Invert and darken in the second case. One or the other.

@MarkFloyd7451 Understood, when you put it like that. I will definitely use the first approach in future. I like his videos and normally always learn something useful from them, including this one.
