Sky replace tool in 2021 Photoshop

coolcat · 24th October 2020, 09:04

Adobe Photoshop has just updated with a host of new tools.
I will play with a few of them and share a few quick results on here .
One of the new updates is a simple way to replace sky in an image.
The tool comes with some pre loaded skies but you can use your own as I have here.

This is a photo from about five years ago at the Clacton Air Show.
Washed out sky made for a rather bland image...

This sky I took yesterday late afternoon with my iPhone outside the front door...

Using the Sky replace tool and a bit of dodging and burning (two minute quick edit) got me to this result...

A very useful tool if you find yourself with the shot you want but a sky that isn't playing ball.

I will play more with the tool but using higher quality original images to see what can be achieved
