Igor -

You could try reducing the brightness of the sky in the HSL/Color/Luminance section of the Develop module. Click on Luminance, then click on the circle in the upper left corner of that section. Move the cursor over the sky and, with the left mouse button held down, move the cursor down to lower the luminance. If you screw it up, you can reset all the sliders by double-clicking on "Luminance" above the sliders.

Hi All,

I am working on some nature pictures. In these photos there is plenty of
sky (as well as clear water and shores scenary.
Some of those were taken when the sky was a bit hazy.
Boosting up the contrast in LR helps getting rid of that haze.
However, in some of the photos, it makes the rest of the image a bit too
contrasty.

It seems to me that if I could selectively boost up the contrast of the
upper portion of the tone curve, that would do the job better.

Hence my question: what are the options of conveniently (!) boosting up
the contrast of a specific portion of the tone curve without affecting
the rest (in LR, specifically LR 3.x, but that probably doesn't matter
much)?

Thank you!

Igor
