Step Three:
The green pin shows the top of your
gradient; the red pin shows the bot-
tom. In this case, we'd like the sky a
little darker still, so drag the Exposure
slider to the left a bit to darken the
midtones in the sky. What's nice about
this tool is, like the Adjustment Brush,
once we've dragged out the Graduated
Filter, we can add other effects to that
same area. So, if you'd like the sky to be
bluer, you can click on the Color swatch,
and when the Color Picker appears, click
on a blue color to complete your effect.
TIP: Gradient Tips
You can reposition your gradient af ter
the fact—just click-and-drag downward
on the line connecting the green and red
pins to move the whole gradient down.
Click-and-drag either pin to rotate your
gradient after it's in place. You can also
have more than one gradient (click on the
New radio button at the top of the panel)
and to delete a gradient, just click on it
and press the Delete (PC: Backspace) key.
