Photoshop 2021 Sky Replacement. Advanced tutorial.

[@melissam731]

Yes, very interested in a sky pack. Especially skies that are completely different than those available in PS 2021 now. Love options. Thanks for this very helpful tutorial!

[@KimHollingshead]

Certainly would be interested in a sky pack, Colin!

[@yaeckerphotography]

Cheaper to go out and shoot them

[@peterfiore5296]

No doubt a powerful tool. A big issue I see, many forget the direction of the light in the main subject. Temperature is important, but the direction of light needs to match if reality is your goal.

[@photoshopcafe]

good point, it has the ability to flip the sky

[@dunnymonster]

This sky replacement feature implementation is genius in my opinion. Adobe could have followed a similar sky replacement methodology to the likes of Luminar but the approach used in Photoshop is vastly superior. Giving us access to all of the individual layers and masks created during the replacement is extremely powerful. Well done Adobe! 👍

[@junediaz2455]

Wow!!!! End result is stunning!!

[@palmfronds]

Would definitely be interested in purchasing a sky pack. Thanks!

[@johnleiva6632]

Yes, would also be VERY interested in a Sky Pack!

[@davidNJ99]

Thanks! Great job explaining the sky replacement adjustments.

[@Journey2Millions]

I have PS but i dont see the sky replacement on my edit tab?

[@enzoakland34]

Been waiting my whole life for Tommy Lee Jones to put out a photoshop tutorial. Thank you.

[@kiecreates2070]

Tommy Lee Jones / Forest Griffin!

[@richardbourdeau9712]

Excellent video as always. Enjoy your understanding of delivery speed. It makes it easy to follow. About the sky pack, I am non-committal, although I think it is a good idea.

[@waynelytton7517]

Thanks for this more in depth tutorial. I tried my own sky and it didn't work. I now know why because I didn't know about the save for web step.I also didn't know about the putting all layers into a smart object which allows Camera Raw editing. I have been using Photoshop since Photoshop 3,not CS3 but 3 ,and I am still learning. My background is 40 years working at the National Geographic Society preparing images for publication, and now being retired for 14 years working on my own images.

[@keithbrown137]

sky pack would be a good idea saves me going out and more time to study your tutorials

[@julenelin1961]

I would definitely be interested in new skies!

[@sajjadal-lawati3133]

Yes please.. Very much will be interested

[@millzmcbangy4413]

What a silly question...OF COOOOUUURSE we want that sky pack. You friggin rock star.

[@charlespearson5268]

Another great and easy to follow video. Thanks Colin.

[@wetaverse5472]

Nicely done, thank you. I think we will be seeing a lot of landscapes with two light sources :D

[@sonnymencher5655]

is there a way to add my ownskys in bulk - ie put my images in folder and then add the entire folder at once?

[@FotomakerAcademy]

Not yet. Adobe is allegedly working to develop that capability.

[@DougsterCanada1]

I have the subscription to Photoshop, apparently it's up to date I have Photoshop V 22.0 according to my Creative Cloud. When any image is open, I do not see that Sky Replacement menu option anywhere in Edit. Any thoughts?

[@Mr31formula]

Interested but a lot of variation not just sunsets like stormy and sunny cloudy, high wind etc. I started doing some of my own in Michigan. Weather changes four times a day :) Thank for the lesson. GREAT!

[@rongeffin5323]

a sky pack is a wonderful idea, Colin

[@michaelbandeko3519]

Interested in the skypack if I can ever make PS 2021 work. It crashes when I update.

[@matlynwood6225]

Would love to see a premium Sky pack from you. This was a great video of the new Photoshop sky replacement tool, I have watched a few others and this goes deeper by showing us even more adjustments we can make in Photoshop and the Camera Raw filter. Thanks for another great tutorial and look forward to more in Photoshop 2021.

[@spiroskanelopoulos5030]

Yes I'm very much interested in the pack of skies

[@hVF8KZuQPeCc8u]

Great video, thanks! Yes, count me in on being interested in a sky pack. With Luminar's and PS's sky replacement capabilities, skies are now a hot commodity.

[@DesignDummy]

I have a free sky pack on my channel's new video

[@JDLVHIGHROLLER]

Thank you for this Colin - Really appreciate all you do!! So happy I found you on KZbin. And Yes I would be interested in a sky pack. Keep up the good work

[@AutoMatters]

Hi Colin. I watched your video to try to learn how to select additional areas of an image to the Sky Replacement tool's automatic selection. I took a photo of a derelict, rusty old train engine on a grey, cloudy day. I wanted to replace that grey sky with a blue one, with a few puffy white clouds. The Sky Replacement tool automatically selected the complex areas above the train, but missed the windows in the cab. I tried to add the windows in the train engine's cab using the magnetic lasso tool, but the Sky Replacement tool did not also replace the sky in the windows, just in the selection that it had made. I ended up filling my additional selections with the paint bucket, using blue from the new sky that I had sampled with the eye dropper tool. I know very little about working in PhotoShop with layers, so much of what you quickly explained in your video was way beyond my level of expertise. Jan

[@brokentradgedy]

Ok but how do you blur the sky replacement if the background is blurry?

[@paulwoolfries3101]

Excellent stuff. All very helpful, many thanks!

[@madeleinefrench8439]

Thanks for the tutorial. Very good. and yes would be interested in Sky Pack

[@brucefancourt6847]

Another great tutorial Colin. I do look forward to them. I too would be very interested in a sky pack.

[@deniseneuendorf3577]

Great video. Please answer all these great questions!

[@yellowbear1000]

Thanks for the additional information. I think I would be interested in a sky pack

[@richardnadeau7882]

Great video. You help us keep up to date with PS and everything you produce is top notch. I would definitely be interested in a sky-pack.

[@michaeldempers]

Yes i would be interested in one of your Sky pack colin. Keep up the good ideas and the great ideas

[@nickgarefalos9015]

Thanks for the tutorial! It is exactly what I was looking for! Well done.

[@ajasproduction2708]

How do you access the original setting before you applied the sky replacement to new layers? I wanted to adjust the scale after making adjustments and am unable to find the original sky replacement options. Thank you.

[@ulmyoc]

You the man Colin, keep up the great work. Love going down to CDM, one of my favorites.

[@kathyfujimoto3129]

Great Video, thank you! I have a photo that has the sun hitting a mountain creating a large sunburst - how do I do a sky replacement without if affecting the sunburst? Every time I try one it goes over it and ruins the sunburst. Thanks!

[@fannygarcia3085]

Hi there, I work with real-estate images and a problem I run into is the sky replacement around trees. Sometimes the AI cannot read the areas around dense trees, is there away to solve this?

[@PatrickGuerrisi]

Question, I shoot in raw and usually edit in lightroom first then do adjustments in photoshop if I need. Say I have a saved sky image and saved foreground image both unedited in raw format. Would you first edit the raws in lightroom first then put the sky in photoshop after that?

[@jbello9398]

yes skypack would be nice

[@paultodd7806]

Yes I’d be interested

[@moses6867]

Wow, thats so cool! Thank you for that Information!

[@robertwarbrick2987]

Another great tutorial Colin,i would be very interested in the Sky Pack.

[@tacosnachosburritos]

This was awesome!

[@SnackAttack6]

Yes interested in your sky’s and this is a great tutorial

[@sjamesons]

Hi Colin, if you have not already done so I would very much like a Sky Pack to be made available. Fantastic tutorials. Scott Jameson, Sydney, Australia.

[@maryharrsch1180]

If the sky replacement tool does not detect a sky, how can you force it to replace a selected area? By the way, I would be interested in a sky pack if the clouds are distinctly different than those provided by Adobe.

[@carlosread5887]

I believe there is one building that was hidden with the new sky. From right to left, at about the first 1/4 of the panorama. It is fantastic how they have improved photoshop in the last 2 versions! About the sky pack, I have been making my own collection of skies for a long time, so i don't think I'd buy one.

[@checkeredflagfilms]

Nice possibilities and nice work for sure. Only problem I see with 'your sky' selection is the direction of the light and shadow as it falls on the LA. If you look at the light and shadow direction in the original shot, the sun is coming from behind and over your right shoulder and the shadows are falling appropriately. However, with your sky replacement the sun...and/or light source is directly ahead to the right sandwiched between the two building. Therefore the side of the city facing us would be in full shadow...if 'your sky' replacement 'source' correct. It's a technical and perhaps small detail but one I would see as objectionable.

[@klapperfilms8673]

Hi there, I have the latest version of photoshop but doesn't offer me the sky replacement option. Is this a plugin you have created? Looking forward to hearing from you

[@terrygrehan3210]

Can you add a whole folder of skies, into Photoshop, or do you have to add them individually, as I have been trying, with a sky replacement pack I purchased, adding them individually will take ages.

[@tomwear4613]

Useful tutorial, but if you look in the right 1/4 of the images you've got two buildings whose tops are partly covered by the sky. I've had that problem myself and would like to know how to avoid/fix it.

[@michaeljohnson9717]

Once again an excellent tutorial, just what I wanted after your quick look, thank you. As a retired (very!) meteorologist I have loads of sky photographs and I was wondering how I could use them with the new Sky Replacement. Now I know! I would certainly be interested in your premium pack of skies, jpeg or tiff.

[@MalgorzataTyminska]

Thanks a lot for this video. Have one question. How can I import more sky like -10-20 to the new option. Is it possible to ad more skies at once?

[@DesignDummy]

Not yet, unfortunately. - Hopefully, they patch this.

[@FotomakerAcademy]

Colin, When we hit "+" & add a personal sky to the Sky Replacement catalog is it stored and/or placed somewhere on our computers (I use Win 10)? It must be more than a one-time temp use b/c the sky is there after I've closed & re-opened Ps 2021. Where does Adobe direct those personal uploaded skies to be stored (what file hierarchy)? I know how to find their defaults (C > Program Files > Adobe > Ps 2021 > Required > Sky Presets). I tried adding my personal skies there directly. It didn't work. So I'm trying to figure out where Adobe puts the skies we upload one-by-one. An Adobe Tech "Spt" person rolled back my version of Ps (unnecessarily!) and lost all my custom skies. I'm hoping if I know the loc where uploaded skies go I can find the lost ones in my Acronis backups from the proper file hierarchy. Thx! BTW a sky pack would be great if we could batch upload skies to that Ps Edit feature...

[@marcodewaal]

Thanks for this tutorial. It makes my sky very clear:-). Very much interested in your sky pack!

[@wittapriester3865]

Thanks. Lots of interesting thoughts here.

[@ChristiaanRoest79]

Your a great teacher. Thanks for the video. I would definitely interested in buying a sky pack. If you have 360’s these are welcome.

Cool shot of the wedge!!!

[@kenmorris2858]

Fantastic video. Cheers from Nova Scotia...

[@apusista]

You didn't mention shift edge? Or did you? Nice tutorial but what if we want nothing of the old sky... only the new one? Sorry if this is a dumb question but how would one do that. I don't see a slider there for that so I guess it would be by subsequent masks?

[@branko1236]

Dear Sirs, Thank you for this information :)

[@jamesduke2071]

I would love a sky pack!

[@rodshelley1170]

Great stuff, Colin. I'm always replacing skies in my photos and artwork, so I'll use this a ton! 👍👍 on the sky pack!

[@malcolmhay6668]

Sky pack yes. Depending on price. As it is not hard to capture your own skies.

[@SarahthenotaryLSA]

I'd like to see how to make the sky show up in water when editing lakes and ponds. Is that possible?

[@johnritchie6775]

As always Awesome tutorial thanks Colin..Can you possibly do an in depth video on reflections in water & on glass as someone threw me a challenge & that’s my stumbling block..Thanks again!

[@johncandler8733]

Yes.. I would really be interested in a sky package......I have a question for you.....I am new to Photo Shop after using ACDEE doe a number of years....When I try to use on of my personal sky photos my I can not bring the photos from the files stored on my computer. When I go to the folder with my personal sky photos in it and click on it it shows NO photos in that folder. Do my photos have to be in a different format to use them in photo shop

[@photoshopcafe]

Sounds like the problem to me. Im not sure what format you have them in but most formats work, even many raw types.

[@JasonSturgess]

I love this but theres going to be a point of where we go is that Photo real or Fake ! seems to be all over Instagram now its sad

To purchase your Sky-Pac would be the Icing on the Cloud.... By the way how do you save your own skies to Photoshop?

[@jules7738]

Sky pack would be brilliant but could you make it a DNG sky pack so more control when editing. Thanks

[@rileyshook3339]

I went down to the edit box and the sky replacement is in grey and won’t let me click it. How do I fix that?

[@photoshopcafe]

Make sure you aren't on an adjustment layer

[@limecoracing07]

yes

[@gailgoldey6360]

I see your own sky as being a very different color from your original photo--especially lots of turquoise instead of deep blue. Is there a reason for that? (I have lots of my own sky photos, but I'd not want to have color changes like that when using them.)

[@mvereker]

Top class

[@hdctx]

So how do I import my existing sky packs?

[@markbrown9001]

Great video, only thing I am missing is how you would defocus the sky for those images shot at low dof. In Luminar for example they have the sky defocus option. I assume the way round this would be to add some Gaussian blur to the sky mask?

[@photoshopcafe]

Just apply a little blur to the sky image

[@kevinhawkins82]

Sky Replacement is having a problem with a shot for Old Faithful I am working on. It covers up the steam in the sky. Any suggestions on how to replace the sky and keep the gyser?

[@photoshopcafe]

You would have to do manual masking, I,m sure the ai doesn't understand vapours

[@JanArmor]

Great tut!! Depending on price, yes, may be interested.

[@mohammedalsarraj9963]

Fantastic

[@m47tito]

Hei, super tutorial, thanks, but....... Is it no longer possible to make arrows in Photoshop CC 2021. I can't find the "weight" option that previously allowed me to set the thickness of the arrow. Can you tell me if that is indeed not possible anymore?

[@photoshopcafe]

it's still possible, use width for the line.

[@m47tito]

@@photoshopcafe , but i can't find width in Photoshop cc2021. It was possible in Photoshop cc2020 but now its gone, the width option, strange?
