Digital BW, The Print

There are many ways to skin this cat but an easy one is to create an
adjustment layer (eg levels) without doing any adjustment (eg don't alter
the levels) then set the blending mode to multiply then add a gradient
beginning the gradient (using the default background and foreground colours)
where you wish the darkening to kick in.  (Holding the shift key will ensure
the gradient slope is vertical for your sky burn.) Setting the blending mode
to screen has the opposite effect.  Else Photokit has a number of automated
functions for doing this.
