Please help on how to make the sky more blueish?

[starlet]

Trying out some IR photo. Did some adjustment base on max' thread using channel mixer and doing auto contrast. However, can't seem to make the sky look blueish. Hope to get expert help here. PS, had posted a picture here for reference. Please feed free to do any adjustment to make it better . Thank in advance

Hi, starlet

The color of the sky is very different from mine.
May I know what cam and filter are you using?

Thanks.

Agreed, and how did you do you white balance. First time seen an IR original like this.

hi, i'm still a newbie, but i kinda suspect that its yellow cos you might have metered for the exposure on the buildings this the sky is overexposed. Hmmmm maybe what you can do if you are using a tripod is to take 2 shots, one slightly over and one under
then in PS layer over together and adjust the opacity till you get the desired effect.

Just my 0.2 cents guess at sth i'm not good at.

But I just noticed....
The sky area inside the clock tower.... Can you spot it?

Setting CWB for D50 shoiuld be the same as for D70.

Scroll down THIS THREAD to the 4th post on Setting CWB for the D70 and do the same. You should be able to get the correct CWB.
