    DESCRIPTION
    One of the true “next levels” to excellence in landscape post-processing comes with the power and mastery of controlling skies separate from land adjustments. This unprecedented power opens an entire can of worms for control, creativity, and correction. In this short but powerful video tutorial, you will learn revolutionary sky techniques that will enable you to take your work to a whole other level.

    Whether you are a “literalist” who wants more correction and clean up or a “creativist” who wants total sky power and control, this video will open up a world of possibilities. In this tutorial, you will learn things such as, but not limited to: * Separating skies from land.

    * The “Threshold Technique.” * Separate fine-tuned adjustments to sky and land. * Tucking skies below the horizon line to clean up artifacting. * Fine tuning selection edges. * Advanced “Color Balance” techniques. * Expanding, Skewing, Warping... skies. * Filling in problematic sky areas. * Compositing. * Redefining horizon lines. * Cleaning up artifacting. * Mimicking natural horizon line feathering. * The power of the Quick Selection tool.

    Kudos to @mr.c for sharing.

    Thank you!

    The video quality is quite low, is it possible to have a higher resolution, say 1920?

    It looks like he may be planning on rereleasing/updating this tutorial. On his sales page it's now called 'Sky Tip and Tricks 1' so a version 2 must be in the works.

    I'm attempting an upscale on this and can share if folks are interested and if @Jupiter doesn't mind (providing it's good quality - getting some of the text sharper during upscale has been challenging, but thankfully we should all know what the lightroom menu headings are ;) )

    I would love it if you could make the menus and texts readable ;)

    He released part 1 like 10 years ago, so I doubt part 2 is in the works. An uprez would be good.
