Go back to the original image, then go to the Layers panel and add a new, blank layer by
clicking on the Create a New Layer icon at the bottom of the panel. Then, switch to the
Gradient tool (G) , and click-and-drag your gradient from the top of the photo down to the
bottom of the sky (the light blue color should be at the bottom of the gradient). This fills
the new layer with a gradient made up of your Foreground and Background colors (as seen
here). For some images, you can leave this gradient as is (or maybe just lower the layer
opacity a little to let it blend in), but I think it usually looks a little too fakey, which is why
there are two more steps.
Step Five:
First,press Command-D (PC: Ctrl-D) toDeselect, thengototheLayerspanelandchange
the layer's blend mode from Normal to Color (shown here), just to see how the color itself
looks. In this case, it looks a bit too cyan and fakey, so we'll have to take it another step
