0:00 Intro
The original raw lacks a lot of details in the sky and its also missing a lot of colors, so I wanted to change that. The biggest part of the editing was done in the camera raw editor, while I used Photoshop to do some final adjustments

0:16 1. Basic Adjustments
First, I switched the camera profile to Adobe Landscape for more saturation. Then, I adjusted the white balance to give the photo a warmer look. I slightly brought down the exposure to get some more details in the sky and further dropped the highlights to prevent overexposure (for the most part). Also, I dropped the shadows to make the foreground darker. For a sharper look, Texture and clarity was raised.

2:14 2. Local Adjustments
Using a linear gradient, I made the top part of the sky darker. Then, I used different radial gradients just over the mountains to introduce soft glow by bringing up the black, the whites and dropping the dehaze. In the center area, I also added temperature to give the sky there a yellow-ish glow.

5:00 3. Color Grading
In the HSL panel, I dropped the blue saturation slightly. For the split toning I used a warm tone for the highlights and the mid-tones, then used a blue tone for the shadows.

6:30 4. Photoshop
First, I added some more glow above the mountains. Here I used a soft light layer and another hard light layer (for a stronger glow effect) with a warm, soft brush. Then, I added some dodging to the stones in the foreground to make them slightly brighter. Finally, I used the Nik Collection plug in for some heavier effects (polarization, skylight filter and Brillance / Warmth) and made the mountains in the distance bigger by using the perspective warp tool
