Testing the NEW Sky Replacement Tool in Photoshop!

[@pamelaschniepp6075]

Aaron, I met you several years ago at Shutterfest in St. Louis. You are such a gifted teacher, and I have learned so much from you, both in person and online. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@suvaalwayshere1641]

One of the most useful functions over the years..will save tons of time

[@endtimeimages3284]

Just need subject and landscape replacement now. Then we don‘t have to go out at all anymore.

[@aquaticwombat4570]

Hahahaha

[@aquaticwombat4570]

So true!!

[@pliccut]

Exactly the way I feel. Kind of takes the sense of accomplishment out of it if you ask me. If I don’t have to work to get the shot, then to me it doesn’t feel good.

[@BradleyBastenCreative]

@Gap 100% so easy to do 😂

[@uwekuttner4048]

there are people making money from photography, they save a lot of time with this

[@richarddeeble5425]

I've watched about 5 tuts on SkyRep and this is by far the most comprehensive I have learnt more intricacies - well done Aaron

[@mwroberts]

I like how Aaron just doesn't show you the cool new toy he explains how to properly use the cool new toy. Saving hours of grief later on. Thank you

[@grahamshellswell4513]

Great introduction to the tool, but also love how you showed how to get into the layers after, and affect further processing. That’s the magic sauce which will really make this tool powerful. Excellent tip to use the brush in the overlay mode. Huge time savings as well as precision and control. Excellent as always, Aaron. Thanks.

[@marionwood3986]

Arron Nace you are a favorite teacher. On this you talk about the shadows and sun direction. I've yet to see anyone address water reflection of that sky. I assume it is just a flip but would love to see you do a lesson on it. Thanks.

[@sk8ingkid94]

I learned a lot on this one. Thank you for keeping it not too long, but jammed packed with great information.

[@cidfidchris]

Thanks for the detailed explanation especially on hownto refine the layer masks❤

[@Ronin760]

Game changer! Using Luminar as a plugin worked but was a disruption to the workflow (older machine). Having the layers grouped in a folder so one can edit the masks and make adjustment was brilliant. Thanks.

[@nlopedebarrios]

Aaron, you are the best. Brush blend mode, awesome tip

[@GARYGUS]

Great tips regarding the sun and light direction. Thanks

[@alanm.6096]

Aaron is right on the money - Adobe needs to continue to simplify operations in PS, given that the subscription model is bringing in many more non-professional photographers. This tool is exactly what is needed to save time and simplify at the same time (not unlike what the 3rd party panels like Raya Pro do). Thanks Aaron, for introducing the thought process you should follow before you even consider what sky you'll choose. A great process. And nice review of how to use the layers after application. It's in my PS bookmarks !

[@joesabo5322]

Excellent tutorial. I appreciate the non self indulgent, self aggrandizing presentation. Just the facts in a pleasant presentation. Well done!

[@Djnixy2010]

I cannot tell you HOW LONG i have needed this in my life. Aviation photographer now in heaven thankyou for saving hours on my editing!

[@georgeacheampong6630]

Wow, I really learned a lot from this 13mins video. Thanks a lot!

[@ao_qd]

This actually looks magical. Woooooooooow! I could cry!

[@MUENTERMEDIA]

They are definitely interesting new functions. I tried them out today too. I'm excited to see what will follow with Adobe Sensei!

[@orcaspest]

Thank you. This is a huge help!! 🙂

[@prosamy85]

Round of applause, very well explained!

[@dandiehm8414]

So glad to see you back in your office! Funny how Photoshop came out with Sky Replacement right after Lumiar got such good reviews (including from you) on their new software.

[@eurossocial]

Aaron is Back!! wow! I love your videos!! Hello from Cyprus! 👍😘

[@khantzawthiha8610]

Thanks Alot Sir. Your videos are so helpful for beginners like me. Wish your Business grow and success more than before💛💛

[@felixifloresrodriquez3306]

You are AMAZING thanks a lot for the training

[@SnackAttack6]

Excellent thank you 👌

[@RealtorDeBrito]

Super job on this tutorial!!!

[@DylanPankow]

Thank you for this.

[@jackbailey3156]

I totally agree with nash hall ... in that it looks like the end of luminar for me. So long, it's been good to know you.

[@rubendarilov]

I like Luminar's 4 Sky Replacement better. It's just easier and automatically matches the lighting to your subject in less steps!

[@thisninja11]

[@stevemoeller4931]

Excellent as always, Aaron. Thanks for the highly informative and practical video.

Thanks so much for the info and your good energy

[@jarredstedman9499]

So brilliant Thank you for putting the time and effort into making this

Thank you!

[@HernandezMFotografia]

Amazing tool, amazing tutorial. Thanks Aaron!

[@tiffmeek]

Excellent tutorial

[@DanielGrovePhoto]

I don't have Sky Replacement under Edit and I have Photoshop CC to the latest version 22.0 what am I doing wrong?

[@keithmeline7485]

Same here!

[@DanielGrovePhoto]

@@keithmeline7485 very frustrating! I feel lied to! I actually needed it but noooo.

[@jerrysyder]

I'm just saying - the brushing you did towards the end(with brush mode set to overlay) to "tidy up" the mask is counterproductive. The "Fade Edge" setting in the Sky Replacement dialog is set to 100 and this helps blend the foreground/ background. So, instead of brushing on the mask after, simply set "Fade Edge" to 0. In every test I've done, I find that it's best left between 50 and 100 for a smoother blend. It just came across as it being an "imperfect mask" when in fact, it's the other way round as this feathered area helps it look more natural.

[@jackasw3921]

Aye!! That pic is the light house from my home town. Niiiice

[@crelwell24]

Excellent video! Thank you!

[@adamstrachn]

I noticed this the other day! Thanks for the tutorial. You think you could do one on the select panel sky/color range/focus area/subject sections?

[@rj934]

Just what I was looking for, a somewhat in depth and detailed tutorial. Now if we can get one that discusses all the tools and how to use your own skies.

[@WakoJacKooo]

i cant find this sky replacement on my photoshop ,, im guessin this is on an update which requires windows 10,, im on 7 ,, oh well,, :(

[@2012Different]

me too

[@MRBATTISTA1]

i have photoshop CC....but i can't find SKY REPLACEMENT in it.........

[@md.nazirislam7870]

I really impressed..

[@tminusnyc2915]

THANK and YOU.

[@richardsonmedia9630]

Cool and usable feature.👍

[@Konrad_m_channel]

I just updated my PS but I don't have this tool. Why?

[@benhammedia9940]

🤯 game changer

[@jegl1012]

Great video man

[@yashpandya100]

love it

[@STUDIOLEX]

Super clear and comprehensive video. You mentioned that you can add your own skies as well... Any tips for a great sky library? Where to download / buy.

[@PeterWoodstorrechianca]

I took some sky photos to use, if you use default in time people will recognize them, every photo I see in magazines now I think is that sky real?

[@bam777lili]

Aaron! 😀 Mouse instead of tablet???!?

[@BobG-eh5fc]

Thanks, great video!!!

[@JAMESRKOFL]

Thanks good tips 👏🏽 3:22 🕊️

[@thangcaoquang906]

Can i ask why there is no sky replacement in my photoshop 2020?

[@lucienr]

Very good! It was useful for me. Thanks. :)

[@nightdonutstudio]

I think it miss a blur option. If it is portrait with shallow dof. The sharp sky will be an issue. But I guess since it create a layer, you can blur the sky image afterward. but I am not sure how good the the edge of cutoff part looks like.

[@cambellevans9945]

I like it; any idea if this feature is available in Adobe Lightroom as well?

[@helenandmartinsTreks]

Brilliant thank you

[@richiehayden853]

What camera and lens did you use for this video ? Super crisp love it

[@bibinjamesbenny]

I am install latest version of photoshop.. but can't show sky replacement tool in edit menu 😞😞 Please help 🙏🙏

[@TheDeadTexan]

Not sure if you figured this out, but the update installs Photoshop 2021, you might be trying to launch Photoshop 2020

[@dmefotografie3749]

Sure you guys open your files with Photoshop 21? First I tried it with PS20, now with 21 it works.

[@CleanLogo]

you need to click the updated version there should be 2. go the adobe cloud. my neutral filters are glitch out though

[@bibinjamesbenny]

Okay thanks to all .. I will check 👍❤️

[@colinweir5807]

Nicely presented as always =) Great addition to PS - are the included skies all copyright-free?

thankyou

[@nigeljameshughes3722]

Hi there I have just downloaded the update to Photoshop to 21.2.4 version through the cloud based updates section, and the Sky replacement is not there??? Am I missing something, because I have Photoshop open and I am looking at the Edit Menu and Sky Replacement is definitely not there??? Any suggestions

[@taylorandtang]

Exactly the problem I'm having. All updates complete but no sky replacement in edit menu? 🤷‍♂️

[@nigeljameshughes3722]

@@taylorandtang hi there Jason I have solved it! The icon I had in the dock on my mac was for photoshop 2020, so I went into the application folder and dragged the icon for photoshop 2021 into the dock and opened it and the option for the replace sky is there! I went to the Adobe application and there are updates for both 2020 and 2021 versions of photoshop! I was opening the 2020 version so I just replaced it with the icon for the 2021 version Hope you have either found this or this helps

[@taylorandtang]

@@nigeljameshughes3722 fantastic! Thanks Nigel. Thsts solved it. Crazy that adobe left the old version in the Dock and the new one sitting in the system. I was starting to think the sky replacement was still in beta and not released yet!

[@nigeljameshughes3722]

@@taylorandtang Hi there glad it sorted it! The Dock on a Mac is customisable by you so things you put there stay there until you remove them. The updates from Adobe Cloud go into your Applications folder not the Dock! So I gather you have dragged the new 2021 icon into your Dock and removed the old Icon. Glad to have helped Stay safe!

[@taylorandtang]

@@nigeljameshughes3722 Good to know Nigel I didn't know that. It makes sense now I think about it, and will replace some of my other applications on the Dock just to keep current. 👍 Stay safe too!

Cool speakers

[@sarahdexter9601]

How do I get the mask so that I can edit my original sky instead of replacing it?

[@NAIMENSPORT]

Since which version this function starts work?

[@GEOPAHAS]

Very helpful video! Maybe you can make a tutorial for color grading in Camera Raw 13? Thanks!

[@max-cs4pz]

Played with the idea of buying lumina just for that... But dayumnn awesome that Photoshop now can do that on its own

[@alanr1476]

I can't find the clipping mask icon at 10:55 - I don't see the pop up with properties.

[@2012Different]

me too

[@luisdeal3017]

Thanks! Is this feature available on the mobile version of PS?

[@phlearn]

Hi there! The sky replacement feature is available on Photoshop Mobile, but it was first introduced in the 2020 app update. Make sure your app is up to date to use this feature. 😀

[@timetotrust8836]

Why sometimes Overlay mode doesn't work but Normal mode does? I needed to use overlay so much but the brush painted nothing. I had to switch to Normal mode and decrease opacity, flow, and hardness to match Overlay mode.

[@Robertobinetti70]

Thanks

[@shallawmuhammad468]

Time to do some updating 😁

[@warrengh5647]

It's a great addition to Photoshop. The purist will boo-hoo it but my pictures are for me and not social media.

[@videographerindubai]

what if it's a night photo? is there a way to add night sky in photoshop?

[@bySterling]

I guess Skylum Luminar didn’t have a parent on this. Curious Mr Nace if you think Photoshops is now better than theirs? Great highlight tutorial as always! 🙌🏻⚡️💻💥💪🏻💯👏🏻

[@jamesss1953]

very informative thanks. but how to I save it back to Lightroom?

[@cameraman655]

I am having an issue with a particular image. It is a barn with a rusty corrugated tin roof, when applying this tool, they sky is reflected in said roof. Any suggestions on how to get the reflection out?

is there a way to keybind replacement sky?

Why would I not have this option on my cc2020?

hello , may i know which Photoshop version is this?

[@wilsons4545]

it's automatically replacement function. I'm sure the Selection Function by manually controlled is better if you know how to do.

amazing
