Sky replacement, better edges<\/h2>\n

I have created a few tutorials on Sky replacement in Photoshop already. I’ll add a list at the bottom of this tutorial.<\/p>\n

One thing you may have noticed, the edges sometimes have a hazy glow around them. These is a tool, that very few people know exist, let alone use and that’s the sky brush. This short video tutorial and written step by step Photoshop tutorial shows you how to replace a shy and fix the edges.<\/p>\n

To change the sky choose Edit>Sky Replacement<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Choose a different sky to change the sky (full tutorial on sky replacement here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The haze looks good on the horizon, but it doesn’t look good up against the sides of the house.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you look at the Sky Replacement panel, you will see the sky Brush on the top left<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Run it around the edges where you want to remove the haze.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can see how it affects the edge here. Press the [ or ] keys to resize the brush.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What about areas such as the post? We need to do the opposite.<\/p>\n

Rather than paint in sky, we want to remove the sky overlay from these areas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To remove sky, hold down the alt\/option key and paint in the image.<\/p>\n

The brush has color detection, so keep the central cross hairs in the areas you want to effect.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here we have painted around the image and cleaned it up.<\/p>\n

Photoshop uses a mask and remembers the mask you edited.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Choose other skies and notice you mask is remembered and you don’t have to use the brush each time you change the sky<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When you apply the sky, you will see a layer stack. This is the mask we have been brushing on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After a little color adjustment, here is our final sky swap.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here are links to more of my sky replacement tutorials that go more in depth in the settings and also how to load and find more skies etc.<\/p>\n
