Valley Sunset, Redux

Another Photoshop rescue of an old photo. I just came across this amazing tutorial on Photoshop curves and decided to try it out.

 

To save this photo, I started with a curves layer to reduce the shadows in the valley. Next, I added a separate curves layer for the sky since it was so much brighter than the surrounding landscape, and did an overall levels correction. Last, I used the noise reduction filter to smooth out some of the noise. The only color adjustment was a curves layer to remove the blue cast from the shadowed valley.
