Select, Dust&Scratches, USM Workshop Photo

Workshop Note

I used the magic wand in Photoshop CS to select the sky and put it on a separate layer. Next I used the filter within the noise section called Dust and Scratches, applying at 4% and 0 threshold. On the underlying background image I applied a sequence of sharpening step with Unsharp Mask, as suggested by Luko. I merged the layers and this is what resulted. I hope you like the result, which brings softness without noise to the sky and a bit more definition in the foreground elements.
