Color Gradiant - Mask by Color
1. I miss pulling a gradiant mask and in addition to exposure adding a color. I assume after the gradient mask is set, I go to color adjust (the wheels) but I am seeing little change and it seems selecting the color is complicated. Maybe there is another better way?
2. Another adjustment I miss is selecting the mask by color. Should be an eyedrop to do that during the mask function but I do not see it. Example, I want to make the sky darker blue or luminance higher but do not want to impact the clouds.
I am new to C1, a couple weeks now and am really enjoying it over LR however I would like to find out how to do some of my common adjustments. I have watched some webinars and youtube videos but I have not found how to do these yet.
Thank you.

There is more than one way to do what you want with no (2).
(a) You can draw a mask over the sky (blue sky and clouds included) and if there are no non-sky blue bits at the edges of the sky area, you don't have to be very precise. Then in the masked area, click on a bit of blue sky with the eye-dropper. Then adjust the sliders to make the blue colour darker, or to change its saturation, etc. You should find that it affects only the blue bits of sky.
If none of that seems to be having an effect it could be that the opacity of the brush you used to create the mask was low. While brushing, right click and make sure that opacity and flow are both turned right up.
(b) You could also create a mask from a colour selection if you want. In that case the first thing to do is use the eye dropper to select the blue sky colour. You can check with the "show selected colour range" check box whether the right parts have been selected (everything else goes grey). If not you can adjust the depth and width of the pie slice until you get the parts you want selected. Once you are happy, click the ... in the tool and choose to create a masked layer from the selection. That creates a new layer of just the blue bits of the image and you can adjust saturation, brightness, etc on that layer.

Edited to add: I notice that you say you don't see an eye dropper and you are adjusting the wheels. Maybe you are using the colour balance tool, but what you need for what you are trying to do is the colour editor tool (advanced tab).0 -
Thank you.. Perfect and awesome... I needed as you said the Color Editor Advanced. I like it better than LR. 0
