Hi!
I cannot find out to do this so posting here:
I have an image of a bright sky over a grass in the foreground. The sky is far brighter. Now I want to adjust levels, so that I get a lot of detail in the sky, that is, darkening it, without making the foreground black. So essentially treating the two parts of the image indepently in terms of levels, brightness, contrast. My idea is to do this with some kind of mask, or to separate in two different layers, but I cannot figure out how (I'm quite a newbie to GIMP, trying to learn).
Anyone have advice or can point to a good tutorial somewhere?
EDIT: GIMP 2.8.22, running on Ubuntu 18.04
A scaled down version of the image is here:
