I was wondering if anyone can advise what I can do to make the sky a bit more blue? Sadly this photo was taken on a sunny, yet very overcast day.
I have access to Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Here is the photo in question...

Hi, r.margertts84 I would leave the tone of the sky as is, it harmonises with the rest of the image. Can tell you how to replace but if anything I would give it a split tone effect or a more moody nature.

How about just a gradient top and bottom?

Thanks for having a go, but I feel it just looks un-natural for this particular photo.

Was that just a case of using the Gradient Fill layer yes?

Make a new layer then I just used the gradient tool grey to clear setting on the top and bottom of the pic dragging in about a third of the way in...
