Sky replace tool in 2021 Photoshop
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... Typhoon Original image by Jeff Cranwell, on Flickr This sky I took yesterday late afternoon with my iPhone outside the front door... Sky from yesterday outside front door by Jeff Cranwell, on Flickr Using the Sky replace tool and a bit of dodging and burning (two minute quick edit) got me to this result... Typhoon by Jeff Cranwell, on Flickr 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

Nice!! I'm going to have to have a play with that . I subscribe to Photoshop, so should get the upgrade. Where would I find the new tool?

Once you’ve done the Creative Cloud update it’s just in the edits drop down under ‘Replace Sky’

Just checked my pc and it seems it hasn't been updating, so just re-installed Adobe Creative Cloud and it's now doing its thing . Cliff

Whilst you're waiting for your update
This was taken at the same Clacton Airshow in 2015. It was the last year the Vulcan flew. Was a shame the sky was so bland so a bit of fun to liven it up......And I was only saying the other day....... I don't do compositing Vulcan Bomber by Jeff Cranwell, on Flickr Original...

An amazing transformation Jeff. Surprising just how much impact the new sky makes, without distracting from the plane .

It has indeed .
A really useful tool, and so easy to use. I used to do sky replacement using a programme "Landscape pro", but this is far simpler and gives better results . A very quick play Before: After: So glad you mentioned this, I would have been unaware of the update without your post Cliff

Hi Jeff,
I saw this thread the other day, so decided I really needed to have a play. I went to Japan in 2017, which is what I bought my first DSLR for... I didn't know how to use it so as a result, all photos pretty much were taken in auto mode... Skies came out bleached white and the photos were for the most part, horrendous! One place I went was Kegon falls. The waterfall was frozen and was one of the best places I went to. Sadly all photos were horrific and unusable... Until now! Kegon Falls, Japan... by Philip Davies, on Flickr
