From clear blue skies to dramatic sunsets, Adobe Photoshop Sky Replacement has all you need to make an image pop.

 

Transform images with Sky Replacement.

Don’t let a drab sky ruin near-perfect images. With Photoshop editing tools you can

quickly adjust and retouch many aspects of your shots. Sky Replacement is a feature in

Photoshop helps you enhance your images no matter what the weather was

doing during your shoot.

Here’s how you can replace a sky in Photoshop: 

1.     Choose Edit › Sky Replacement.

2.     Use the sky drop-down to select a new sky from one of the preset sky images, or use your own.

3.     Make any adjustments you want. When you’re happy with the new sky, click OK.

Adobe Photoshop offers a collection of skies, organized into three categories: Blue Skies, Spectacular, and Sunset. Blue Skies include daytime skies in solid blue or with clouds. Spectacular skies range from dramatic storm clouds and soundscapes to rainbows and night skies. Sunset features yellow, orange, pink, and red sunset hues.

For even more skies, go to the settings drop-down in the Sky Replacement window. From there, you can import your own sky image as any file type Photoshop supports. Or download free sky presets — including tornadoes, northern lights, fireworks, stars, and the milky way — from professional photographers.

"The best thing about Sky Replacement is that everything remains editable via the traditional Photoshop workflow,” says Photoshop expert Jesús Ramirez. “This is not like a filter where once you apply it, you’re stuck with it. You actually have a lot of control, and all these controls eventually become a layer mask or adjustment layer.”

How to enhance or alter your Sky Replacement.

When you use Sky Replacement, you can control both the new sky and all the elements in your original image — no background removal or new background layer is required. Fine-tune your original image, then finesse the color, position, and more of your new sky image. Finally, if needed, perfect your new image as a whole by using an adjustment layer or two.
