Is there a way in Premeire to Darken the blue sky in my footage?
If so what do I need to know? I have never dipped into color "enhancements".

Your question opens the Pandora's box of color correction and grading. Yes, you can deepen the blue in your sky. I do it all the time in my footage. You can literally turn any color in your video but knowing how to do it is the key. There have been many good books written on the subject. I would recommend finding one, settling into a comfy chair and consuming it. That's what I did and found the information invaluable.

If you search these forums, you'll find a number of good book recommendations. I don't recollect the name of the book I read, but I have previously posted it here.
