Step Six:
There are two layer blend modes that
add contrast to our layer: Soft Light and
Overlay. Let's try both of those. When
you try Soft Light, you can see its effect
is more subtle, and Overlay (shown here)
is more contrasty (and in this case, that's
what I'd go with, because it looks darker,
but not at all over-the-top. If you want a
really dramatic sky, try Color Burn, and
then lower the layer's Opacity to around
50%). If you're not sure which one you
want, just press
Shift-+
(plus sign) to
toggle through all the different blend
modes until you find one you like. A
before and after are shown below (it's
subtle, but it's supposed to be).
