[@danielwcheng6381]

Hey matt, Man, I forgot how well you teach...I took a break from my photography for a while, and now I'm back and looking at all the new tools technology has developed for us. Thank you for your classes and clear explanations.

[@MattKloskowski]

[@halkahn5035]

Matt is always clear, concise and down to earth.

[@christopherdias2355]

Thanks for you great tutorial.... i was having problems importing skies but your tutorial certainly helped solve the problem for me! Thanks and CHEERS!

[@judyboyd9530]

I am so happy about this video! I have seen one on the new sky tool that shows how to do a reflection. Thank you so much 😊

[@MattKloskowski]

Glad it was helpful!

[@xophotoable]

Thanks for the detailed instructions, very helpful.

[@californiapattycakes4417]

Wow very informative. Thank you for sharing!

[@JoseGonzalez-cu1pc]

As always excellent tutorial, thanks.

[@MichaelBlanchette]

Great description of sky replacement!

[@nelsonclub7722]

My ad was for Luminar Sky!!!! I have it already and between the two there is no comparison. Photoshop ROCKS

[@patrickmclean9663]

Great video Matt, it includes everything!

[@MattKloskowski]

Glad you think so!

[@R8135003]

Cheers Matt. Concise as always.

[@MattKloskowski]

Thanks Will. Not sure about concise... it's 25 minutes, but there's no way to really do a deep dive in 4 minutes :-) Glad you enjoyed!

[@sharoncatalano1977]

Great tutorial thanks! I realize this is an old video but just started using sky replacement recently. I have a different way of handling the reflection. I replace the sky and make all my adjustments then I save it. Then I flip the photo 180º and do a replace the sky again using the same sky with the same adjustments adjustments just flipped.

[@artdawggy]

Nice. Great explanation. Better than Adobe's actually.

[@iqueque]

Excellent tutorial Matt, if a different league to any of the others I have watched. Many thanks.

[@terryward1244]

Doing a great job as always

[@josephstanski5180]

You’ve explained this so very well Matt - When capturing skies for future use, what is the best “general” focal distance for use in landscapes. Thanks Matt

[@Mr31formula]

Great tutorial. Bought the sky replacements. Nice.

[@MattKloskowski]

Thanks! Enjoy!

[@grantking4681]

Great tutorial Matt, gives us a great head-start in coming to grips with this tool, many thanks.

[@neilwilson2135]

Very nice job but it is all way out of my category and technical skills. Enjoyed watching and Keep up the good work.

[@kenklontz1945]

Great job on your tutorial thanks

[@toddmyraphotography]

THANK you so much for this!

[@rj934]

Great tutorial! I had a job to finish up post on today that was shot on a gray, overcast day. Thanks to your tutorial I was able to replace the skies on all the exterior shots with “winter, blue, partly cloudy” skies and make the appropriate modifications to both the sky and foreground in the shots to make them work. Thanks! Now if I could use it to do window sky replacements on real estate shots and to add realistic shadows to the exteriors I would be in great shape.

[@juansol1499]

Thank you very much, Matt!

[@caseyhardiman1653]

I love this tool so much, it's amazing and it looks so legit.

[@MattKloskowski]

It really does. I'm amazed at how well it does each time I open it.

[@chrissargent4090]

Hey Matt... Great Video... FYI - I was curious to try this and it worked! - Flip the image upside down and chose 'Select Sky' this now effectively selects the reflected sky area :)

[@MattKloskowski]

Brilliant! I Just tried it!

[@chrissargent4090]

@@MattKloskowski - I can't believe that I was able to teach Matt K something! :)

[@WilliamParmley]

Fantastic! I tried this a couple of weeks ago and failed spectacularly. This will help so much!

[@jenhongkong]

Great tutorial Matt, thanks so much. I especially loved the reflection steps, so easy [she says before she tries it herself :-)]!!

[@petermarshall5450]

Really, really well done....thank you. I'm embarrassed to say I was unaware of Sky Replacement in Photoshop. I was using Luminar AI; Photoshop is far superior. Peter

[@darrellosullivan9901]

Wow, thanks a great tutorial-the reflection was amazing. Now I don’t have to work so hard to create a beautiful reflection.

[@josephstanski5180]

Wow - nicely done Matt - have you ever done any videos on techniques of "dodging and burning" ? Great tutorial Matt. Thank you.

[@Spawn674]

Any good stormy skies? Maybe some with lightning?

[@Zebrajellyfishphoto]

Nice work Matt. There are many folks selling sky packs on Etsy.

[@arsenym5526]

do you happen to know of a way to import multiple skies at once? It seems that if i click on the plus sign, and select a group of files, it still adds only the first one out of the selections thank you for the great tutorial!

[@BobRickert]

Matt, thanks for the tutorial. I am running into issue with ending up with really giant 1 GB files after replacing a sky. Have you noticed this?

[@AdrianEvansPhotography]

Awesome Thank you

[@marclabro]

very nice tuto !

[@hassanhamma4702]

hi matt really all your tutorial geat, i trysky replacement but couldn't do that because wasn't from Edit sky replacement ,! thanks

[@davidhowe1069]

Great vid Matt, thanks. One question; I have a bunch of my own skies in my PS Library how do I bring them over to the sky replacement tool?

[@MattKloskowski]

Hi David. Just click the little + icon at the bottom of the Sky Replacement Filter window. Thanks!

[@brtrabbix]

Matt, I have Lightroom 5.4 on my Mac (downloaded it 10 days ago). I can’t figure out how to take still photo shots from videos. Can you help please? thanks. Brett

[@MattKloskowski]

Hi. I’m not aware that feature exists. Thanks.

[@PeterWongPhotography]

How large are your sky files that you upload? Let say I have an image that is 48 " wide and 27" tall, will I need a sky file that is approximately the same size or it may get pixelated? Do you upload jpegs, tiffs or PSD or other formats? Thanks for you help and wonderful video.

[@MattKloskowski]

Hi. You can upload any file (JPG, Tiff, etc...) at any size you'd like.

[@kencruisejr972]

Is there a script of this video? I would like to follow tools and keyboard shortcuts etc . Thanks

[@nikkidevries475]

Hi Matt, I clicked on the link for the free sky samples etc and ended up with a link to your bird photography page. Whats happening?

[@alainzwick6996]

Thanks !!!

[@gossedejong9248]

thank you, Sir!!

[@morrisbrodkey702]

I could not open the skies package in photoshop. Adobe stated that the format is not supported.

[@patrick.infante]

Matt, how can I load images in the sky replacement tool that are not really skies? Want to use them as backgrounds in portraits. I try and it says 'no skies detected'. Help??

[@MattKloskowski]

Hi. As you’ve found you can’t do that. Thx

[@marclabro]

very nice tuto. a pity we can't import all sky folders we have already. What i don't understand very well is why Adobe make a selection to apply a sky in multiply mode. we have sky replacement with a selection and a new sky in normal mode or, amazing technique, the sky in multiply without any risk of halo (is it th way Luminar 4 proceed ?) and, if needed, we can make a rough selection we paint with gaussian blur to keep the tones and colors but not the cloud details, as we do with textures. Does your course show how we could integrate blendif if needed ?

[@MattKloskowski]

Hi Marc. I don't know the method you're mentioning and I think Adobe does it better than any method out there. What course are you referencing?

[@marclabro]

hi Matt, I was referencing to the 45min course in 40-skies pack. I purchased it and it is a nice pack and beautiful skies. No reference to how improving selections but I suppose we should use standard methods. I was just confused about this new feature because either I am using Luminar 4 or the method of Serge ramelli I mentioned previously very quick without halo : kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKXUlGCeob6Gl5o or use quick selection tool to select sky and replace with another one with some blendif if needed. So new sky replacement looks just an automatic selection tool with integrated bruightness/contrast and hue/sat more than something like Luminar 4. just sharing my feeling :-)

[@MattKloskowski]

Hi Marc. I'm aware of the technique, I just don't think it's as useful at least from the sky replacements I've done. As for the Sky Replacement Pack, it's not a course. As you probably know now, the only videos in it are the ones I mentioned in this video. Hope that helps! Thanks! :-)

I know guys/gals like you need to make money but what's happened to getting it right in the camera? The new generation is all about the easy way.

[@MattKloskowski]

Hi Dave, yep heard that a million times. A million + 1 now :-) So much so that I wrote an article about it. If you're interested in my thoughts on it here's the link - mattk.com/i-love-to-edit-photos/

[@19Photographer76]

@@MattKloskowski Thanks for the link Matt. My comment didn't have anything to do with Photoshop as I'm a 20yr user myself. It has to do with replacing a sky with someone else's image. Photogs will tote it as their own image but it's not.
