If you want, you can download the photo I used here.
Edit sky (Adaptive Presets)
Open the photo you want to edit.
Then open the ‘presets‘ tab and select ‘Adaptive: Sky‘. If you hover over the presets, you can see what they look like. The adjustments only apply to the sky!
Select the preset you like. You can adjust the amount to make the effect stronger or more subtle.
If you select ‘masking‘, you can see that the sky is masked now. If the sky is not masked correctly, you can add to or subtract from the mask.
And that’s how you automatically edit a sky using Adaptive Presets in Adobe Lightroom!
