You're watching VisiHow. There is another video on how to make sky more blue in Lightroom. In this video, we're going to show how to make blue sky more blue or turn a gray sky into something more pleasing to the eye using Adobe Lightroom Creative Cloud 2015.
Steps
1
Click the "Develop" menu at the top of the screen

This is the portrait-style paper icon in the menu just below the histogram on the right side of the screen.

Then, uncheck "Show Selected Mask Overlay" at the bottom of the window

You can also change the "Exposure" level in the "Effects" menu
.
You can do it by clicking and dragging the scroller. This will make "Graduated Filter" less or more noticeable.

It's in the bottom-right corner of the photo. You may notice that the top of the mountain now has a blue tint. You can take that away by using "Adjustment Brush".
