How to Mask a Sky Behind Trees in Lightroom

In this video tutorial, I will show you how to use Lightroom's Adjustment Brush to adjust a sky even if it partially shines through trees. This is a situation that you come across often, and at first glance is seems to be very difficult to create an adjustment that applies precisely to the sky and not to the trees.

Great tip regarding 'Auto Mask' - that really helped, thanks!

How do you get it to avoid the tree and building? For me, it just selects everything that I swipe over.

Hi what pen/tool are you using on your laptop? my hand is tired of the mouse im using to edit with. Thanx for the tutorial as well.

Golly! Thank you, Klaus for this wonderful information -- I did not know about AutoMask! Now I want to know what to do next: How do I remove the sky, so that I can replace it? I know -- You are going to tell me that I have to buy the course, right? I will save my pennies! Thanks, again!

You have to buy the course! LOL nahhh, just kidding. ;)
Replacing a sky is not possible in lightroom. You would have to take the image into Photoshop to do this. Maybe I'll. Create a tutorials about that soon. Stay tuned.
