Step 23 – Sharpening
One last thing has to be done – sharpening. Press Ctrl + A on your keyboard to select the whole image and then Ctrl + Shift + C to copy it merged. Paste it on the top of all layers and name the layer SHARPENING.
Go to Filter > Other > High Pass and set the value Radius to be able to see decent edges of the picture.

Change Blending Mode of this layer on Overlay.

Sorry guys figured it out. I pressed the mask button while i was still in the channels tab. Clicking layers and clicking on the image followed by pressing masks fixed it ;)

When removing the sky the sky turns darker, it doesn’t disappear. I tried using a white brush to see if it changes but it doesn’t. I am using CS6, can someone help. Thanks

Wow, I can’t thank you enough for making this tutorial of which I just completed. I made a couple of mistakes but I still love the final result. I have been using Photoshop and following many tutorials for over a year and did not learn as much as I did today with your one tutorial. Thank you, thank you, thank you : )
