Bruce,
Thank you, this is very helpful clarification.
I've been using the Clarity control, and have always been tempted to
lookup what it actually does (last night was the most recent time
when I thought to google it).
I never tried to use the adjustment brush for "clarity", I usually use it
for adjustements of exposure/brightness.

Igor, in Lightroom the Clarity control provides an effect very similar
to the unsharp mask using settings as Rob suggests. You can use the
global slider for the whole image (naturally), but you should also be
able to brush in the effect locally with the adjustment brush. That
capability exists in Lr4 and 5; I don't recall if it's in Lr3 too.
If you can brush it in, I suggest using a large brush with maximum
feathering (100) and then brush over the sky. You can be quite sloppy
with it as long as you don't overdo the effect. Stick to Clarity
values under 30-40. Also, turn off the Auto Mask, and set Density to
100.

Rob,
I am still confused...
What do you call "unsharp mask" in LR3? Does it exist in this version,
or did they introduce one in 5.x?
You don't mean "edge masking" using "Masking" slider under "Sharpening,
do
you?

Yes, unsharp mask, try it :)

Rob: I am a bit confused by your suggestion:
My preferred global approach is to apply USM starting at around 25%
with a large radius of 250 pixels or so.
If by USM you mean "unsharp mask" ???), then how would this help?
I don't think I follow your thought here.
