I tried it and did not like the result. As a global adjustment, I think clarity works better. For easy local adjustments of single, isolated colors such as a blue sky, the HSL\Color\B&W panel works better. Go to Color then pick the color you want and dial down the luminance and, perhaps, increase the saturation a little. For skies, this works like a polarizer.

Thanks for the tip and link. I tried it in CC 2014 on some of my studio and location art nudes and did like what it does for skin tones although at a much less setting then 100. I have also learned to adjust the camera profile to "camera portrait" which seems to give a better rendition of my NEF files.

Thanks again.
