Agreed, I'd normally use a 'fictitious' sky using either a graduated fill or
one manufactured by the Clouds filter, but if you really wanted that
particular sky you could make a second exposure metering for it, dragging it
onto a lower layer in PSP and cutting through to it. Once you've applied a
fancy filter to a photo it can be difficult to remove, whereas a clean shot
can be adjusted over and over in a myriad of ways without losing the
original. (A completely blank, white sky is the easiest to adjust.)
Those awful graduated tobacco coloured skies that were prevalent a few years
ago really put me off creative filters.
