Try some of the other colour channels particularly whichever is the colour of the sky. If it is mostly white then separate the image into 2 sections, one of which is roughly sectioning off the sky. Then instead of red try gray and mess with it till you get it right
I am loving your tutorials, but I have one criticism. Although your explanations are great, you move EXTREMELY fast when clicking your options. I have to rewind several times sometimes just to see what/how you did something. I realize my two cents probably doesn't mean too much but I think if you slow down the clicking motion OR bring to the foreground the display window, your tutorials will be that much better. With that said, I am learning a lot. Thank you
Then you would have to use other methods! There are tons of them. For example, if the sky touches the foreground with pure green colors, use that to make a clean selection.
Once you get the layer with the Blend If and the Mask the way you like, Right Click and Select 'Convert to Smart Object' and your layer is a clean transparency. Or, you can add a blank layer above the Blend If layer, merge it down and have a clean transparent layer. By clean, I mean it will stay a transparent layer. Thank you for sharing your expertise!
Great tutorial! However, this doesn't seem to work that well when you have overcast grey skies and take a photo of an urban landscape, where a lot of the borders between sky and buildings gets confused since the grey tones in roofs and other metal pieces etc are very close to the sky grey. Could you perhaps give some hints on how to better separate sky from what you want to keep in grey conditions? This is, unfortunately, the most common sky condition here in NL :(
I just tried this for a real estate sky replacement, but the sky was a lot more gray than blue so I used Blend If with the Gray filter. Worked great. Thanks so much!
hi ... do you have any video on how to make the background more white . i have already shot my jewellery on white paper.but when i try to do in adjustment layer taking that dropper from the curve box its becoming yellow. plz help . thank you
Holy shiiiii bro. I was trying to crop a tree out of a picture for a rendering and this video just helped me so much!!!!! Thank you!! Saved my project!!!!!!
I have Photoshop 2020, when appliying your solution, nothing happens. I dragged the slide to the far left, the sky blue does not dissappear - I checked all blend modes etc as per our video - has something changes for Photoshop 2020?
This a big help! I just wonder sometimes my black brush isnt working on my masking, I have no idea what could be the problem, I hope you can help me regarding this problem. Thank you! :)
Wonderful. If the scenery is good but the sky is boring, I always have to shoot using a tripod multiple shots and go for digital blending! Now this technique seems like a cake walk! Let me try this! Thank you.
Oh my weird, that was way easy! I have a cutout of an old stingray corvette thatnis kinda blueish, but also trending towards purple, which I need to remove and make all one co.or blue- gonna try this method when I get home! Unless, you should have some kind of "buy me a coffeee" tip jar to donate to- your tutorials are wicked informative and way better than most!
just quick advise bud ,in the tonlayer on the right side you can see that the background is still visible explain to the people how to finished,with convered to smart object!!!
Instead of using masks and paint to remove effected areas - why don't u, before "blend if" in blue channels, extract the areas that u dont want to be effected? For example, house, hills, bench, etc are extremelly easy to remove from the "blues selection".
Many of the buildings I shoot here in Phoenix AZ are covered in glass windows that reflect the sky. Most often our skies are clear blue an devoid of clouds. I like replacing the boring cloudless skies with clouded skies. Please show me an easy way to show reflections in the glass of the clouds in the replacement sky.
I began using photoshop when it first appeared in the late 80's and taught myself from scratch .I used to teach them and one international company asked me to train their staff. This is incredibly slow, complicated and pointless I can do this in 30 seconds !
Hii.. I have been doing ps for sometime now and it's always been a hard time for me to replace or make a composite. From this video too.. I have hard time getting off the halos.. After the blend if, and crating a mask I cannot get the lost areas back.. Second, when I add a new sky I get halos on the foreground edges.. Can you help me?
This is a powerful technique to address the problem of replacing a background when the foreground has a complex texture, such as tree limbs and leaves. As usual, you make the difficult easy. Thanks
What blend of is doing is hiding the blue pixels, the background isn’t fully erased, because you look at the layer thumbnail, the sky still shows up so how to fully remove the sky you convert the layer into a smart object
my pic has lots of shade of blue along with the sky, doing it with blend if seemed impossible, I tried color range then manually painting out the extra. that worked better.
I still use this technique. The sky replacement feature in Photoshop does not work for me when I have a sun star on the horizon. The technique shown in this video work perfectly. Thanks for the video.
Not easy as pie. I have tried over and over again to replicate your results. Does not work. So to those who are successful good for you. Blendif has never been a viable solution despite its proponents. There is one tiny switch that must enabled otherwise your flow does not work. It's called "knockout" If not enabled, then none of this works. There must be an easier and more elegant solution. It seems mask and refine is the alternative.
when i used the blend if tool, the subject of the photo just removed as well as the sky? im on the right layer and everything and the parts that removed weren't even blue, how can i stop this?
I am using the latest version of Photoshop but there is a problem with the pen tool. The path option of pen tool from where we can change the path size and color is not clickable, can you please help me sovl the problem ?
je ne comprend pas grande chose l'anglais mais j'ai vraiment aimé et compris le tuto vue que moi même j'ai une petite base en PS chapeau l'artiste très belle vidéo et facile de compréhension. thanks
What if my photo does not have blue skies? The photo I'm editing, the sky is blown out so I want to replace it.
Try some of the other colour channels particularly whichever is the colour of the sky. If it is mostly white then separate the image into 2 sections, one of which is roughly sectioning off the sky. Then instead of red try gray and mess with it till you get it right
Use s luminosity mask
U can use select > colour select and then simply add all the tones of your sky that you want to remove
GOD!

"Blend if" is really magical trick that I would not know about it without your tutorials! Thank you so much, Unmesh. 💖
Fake
@@LaurenceBakerAdobe - What do you mean?
Very good! Like your channel :3
The brush tip (Brush+hold shift and brush) Is amazing...
Funtastic video brother.......👍👍👍
what if the sky has clouds and different colors..this method is easy because of the plain sky
I followed your instruction to the letter but when I move the blue slider absolutely nothing happens, how come ?
Looks like you didn't turn off the background layer. ( check 00:35s)
thanks man , the way you explain is very amazing and easy to understand 👍

Heyy broo.. your awesome... I like the way you teach... Keep going..!!
I wanted to know this for so long now, thx soooo much
Glad it helped, thanks for watching!
Thanks for this. What if I want to replace a grey cloudy sky with a blue one?
Then you would have to use other methods! There are tons of them. For example, if the sky touches the foreground with pure green colors, use that to make a clean selection.
@@PiXimperfect Any video for other methods? Or guidelines to replacing skies in different situations?
You're a brilliant teacher. Thanks for putting this together. I've learned lots from you.
I like your tutorials. They’re always simple but incredibly amazing.
“As easy as a pie” 😂🤣😂
Definitely found my new favourite PS tutorials!

This tutorial is brilliant!!! I've learned so much from this channel. Again thanks for sharing.
Why not use the color range selection tool?
PeeteBoxBattle selections with the selection tool can cut off small details
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, and let me say Thank you for this tutorial..😁👏

Right in the beginning, he mentioned that this works only if the sky is very blue.
@@MsHSpring He clearly knew it didn't work with blue skies. He was asking how to do it with grey skies. Your answer is not helpful
I would Love to see a video where you show how to change the Position of for example arms. I want to let me look like i'm holding a Bridge. Thank you!
That smile at the end of the intro :3
You are a genius in Photoshop bub you speak to fast for me thanks and God bless.

I really really appreciate it unmesh.. So i wouldn't skip any ads for this channel
Very well, but I would want that the planter box in the foreground be removed and the lens distortion be corrected as well... ;`)
What about if you have a highlighted sky? How do I remove it and replace it with a new sky?
Thanks for all these tutorials! This one was so helpful aswell. Do you have any tips about how to replace a gray sky with a blue sky?
Hi umesh eager to see videos on colour grading particularly like sam kolder, jacobs etc..
from 3m19 to 4m20 can you please re do it and do it much slower please? aslo what if you do not have a perfect sky on the original photo?
my pic has lots of shade of blue along with the sky, doing it with blend if seemed impossible, I tried color range then manually painting out the extra. that worked better.
Funny I didn't watch this video and gave it a thumbs up because the teacher gives off a good vibe - so I know it will be good.
Awesome videos! Your a great teacher of photoshop. I have learned more from you than anyone else, you explain things very well! Thnx!

I don’t really care about the sky but the mini tutorials on masks was super useful and well explained

What if ur sky isn’t exactly blue? What if there’s red or it’s a grey sky or night time?
when i used the blend if tool, the subject of the photo just removed as well as the sky? im on the right layer and everything and the parts that removed weren't even blue, how can i stop this?
Strangely on one of my photos this trick knocks out everything but the sky. Other photos work fine.
Unmesh, can you do a tutorial on histogram and white balance? You are a photoshop genius!

it was great as your previous tutorials but if the sky were not Blue what should we do ? for example a rainy day sky !
IN BLEND IF
