I have an image that is a shot of the Eastern Sierra at sunrise. There are gorgeous clouds hanging over the peaks. The early morning sun lit them on fire along with the mountains. It was amazing!
My exposure was pretty close to being right on. And yet, there was one part of the clouds that technically wasn’t clipped but was very close. The RGB numbers were not 100% but were in the high 80% to low 90%. The thing was there wasn’t much detail and it really stood out.
I used the Spot Healing Brush to smooth out the ‘blemish.’ It took a bit of trial and error but by adjusting the size of the brush I was able to create a very smooth, natural looking effect.
