Photoshop help with sky

BackdropJunction · Apr 20, 2011

Hi folks.

I am trying to replace the sky on one of my shots with something a little nicer. I have been using photoshop for some time but don't know how to make this work.

I want to replace the sky without losing the trees. Of course the sky between them would need to be replaced as well. anyone got a technique they could explain?

Thanks

Replacing the sky will not improve that shot. You require a centre of interest with more visual impact.

Thanks for your reply sir, however, I am not sure you understand the application for the image. I did find a way to replace the sky and it turned out fairly well. I used the select color function, selecting portions of the original sky, than used the eraser to erase that section and expose the new sky underneath.
