Digital BW, The Print

Anthony:

Here's a variant method that might work also: create a duplicate layer
and invert it, then use curves or levels to darken to taste. Still need
to work on the delete the bottom of the image on the duplicate layer and
work in detail on the transition, but this might get you to a darker sky
faster and with less potential for degradation.
