More on the Polarising effect

You may have found the polarizing effect to be rather too strong for your picture. Instead of enriching the sky it might have become far too blue.
One person contacted me after trying out the instructions and managed to work out how to make adjustments so that the effect was kinder. I will show you just how simple it is to do.
Look over at the Layers Palette on the right of your screen.
At the top, next to the Blending Mode - you changed the blending mode from Normal to Soft Light - is the Opacity slider. By reducing the opacity of your Soft Light Layer you will reduce the effect it has on the picture.
Changing the Opacity can be done in two ways
The first way is to click on the down arrow beside 100% and grab the slider button with your mouse and drag it to the left.
Or
Hover with your cursor under the word "Opacity", your cursor will change to a hand with a pointing finger with a left and right arrow on either side of the finger. Left mouse click and slide to the left while watching your picture. When you have the right amount of change, release the mouse button.
I hope that little "extra" helps!
