Sky Overlay

I am trying to do a sky overlay, I placed my overlay on the image, I chose not to lower the opacity, and I hid the layer mask. Then I went to "paint" on the skies and as far as I can tell I have everything correct, but when I do the sky looks like it is barely there, it's not vibrant like it should be, it almost looks just gray....am I missing a step?!

Please help, I am trying to finish this project for a friend in the next 2 days!

Thank you in advance!

You're painting into the mask with a very dark gray, almost black. So not very much happens.

You need to paint with white. Set the brush to low opacity if you want to build up gradually.

Can you post a screenshot including the full Layer panel?

this is with the sky overlay that i "painted" on...

this is with the layer not hidden

the sky in the original picture is pretty much just blue..this is not the image i am using it on, i am just trying to figure out how to do it correctly.

Thanks
