Digital Camera Filter?In traditional film photography, a yellow filter against a blue sky creates cool contrast effects, right?
Is there a way to get this same effect in photoshop on a digital photo of the clouds?
Step by step instructions would be sweet. I'm familiar with adjustment layers, masks, and opacities, I imagine these would help?
Thanks. :)

And yes - similar to traditional b/w photography.

I'm no expert at photo shop but maybe creating a new layer turning down the opacity very low and making it a suitable yellow colour.
I don't think you can get the same effects as a filter with photoshop but I could be surprised.

With all colour shots, film or digital, you will need a polarizing filter. Of course since all digital cameras have auto focus lenses you will need a circular polarizing lens.
Spending hours in front of the computer may be the second choice ... shooting using the polarizing filter would be much easier.

I assume you're referring to black and white film photography, in which case the yellow filter deepens a blue sky slightly while having little effect in clouds. (Orange works better, red is overkill in most cases).
This is regarding the use of b/w filters with a digital camera. If photographed using those filters (white balance off!) to achieve a strangely colored image, the photo, when converted to b/w in Photoshop will exhibit the trademark characteristics the same filter would give when shooting with b/w film. This is because the grayscale conversion works on the relative brightness of pixels in much the same way the image is recorded with b/w film, the key being "relative brightness".
Another option in post-processing would be to skew the color balance so that the image looks as though it were shot through a filter, then doing the b/w conversion.
I hope this helps! Good luck!
