How can we make the deep blue skies we saw in the beta testers' work?      :o

Try seting your render gamma to 1 and lowering the haze to say 2

There are various ways of making the sky look deep blue. Can you point out a particular render?

Hi all,
I have been using Photoshop and the shadow highlight adjustment; here are some of my results after running them thru Photoshop. The other benefit to this is it gives more contrast to the image.

OK, so the images referenced here pretty much have the default atmosphere, some have an increased fake dark power enabled in the atmo. Other than that, the sky obviously get more saturated blue with less haze or less glowing haze, so you might want to play with this. I think the final color came with color adjustments in an image manipulaiton application, at least that's true for mine.

Frank

Thanks Frank for taking time to answer.  I'm learning so much I almost can't stand it.
