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.
I am sorry but why adobe always falls behind in this kind of update. whereas this feature was introduced in luminaire way before Adobe. I have seen on numerous times adobe always late and we as adobe user still love it. even this feature is dito copy of Luminar. I'm not talking about one thing. there are a dozen things and Adobe is always late
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.
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 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
@@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!
@@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!
@@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!
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.
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.
It’s like people who want trophies even if they lost. Who cares if you traveled somewhere and the sky wasn’t perfect! Better luck next time. The hunt continues! Keep going out!
Why don't you say anything about all the new bugs (as well as all the old bugs from the previous version they never fixed) in this new version of Photoshop. I think I'm going back to a previous version of Photoshop that actually worked like it is supposed to. This one sure doesn't. They should forget about the new tricks and make Photoshop work again.
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.
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 !
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.
I can replace the sky AND the foreground, with just 1 click! You do not need any, costly software for that. Windows file manager changes complete photos, with 1 clck!
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.
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.
That typical kind of guy who would work for Adobe's marketing department .... picking an image with a plain sky to make sure the new features work flawlessly.
Brush in overlay mode on the mask was a good tip. However, the image looked better without the sharp edges on the mask. Looked way more photoshopped after he tweaked the mask.
@phlearn or his video viewer's, I am editing a picture and afterwards I need to do windows - action command. But it shows all the time, "The command Merge layers are currently not available" or "the command select is not currently available". What am I doing wrong while editing pictures? My Mac computer is more than 7 years old but I am using a 2020 photoshop.
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?
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. 😀
Aaron. I watched a video you did on adding text. I think you added text with the words Lorem Ipsum. I followed along and now for some reason, every time I go to add text to a different image, those words pop up. How can I get rid of them?
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! 🙌🏻⚡️💻💥💪🏻💯👏🏻
Just need subject and landscape replacement now. Then we don‘t have to go out at all anymore.
Hahahaha
So true!!
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.
@Gap 100% so easy to do 😂
there are people making money from photography, they save a lot of time with this
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
One of the most useful functions over the years..will save tons of time
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,, :(
me too
I don't have Sky Replacement under Edit and I have Photoshop CC to the latest version 22.0 what am I doing wrong?
Same here!
@@keithmeline7485 very frustrating! I feel lied to! I actually needed it but noooo.
I like Luminar's 4 Sky Replacement better. It's just easier and automatically matches the lighting to your subject in less steps!
POGGERS
I've watched about 5 tuts on SkyRep and this is by far the most comprehensive I have learnt more intricacies - well done Aaron

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

Where can I get the sky replacement tool?
Took me a few minutes before I realised this lighthouse is the one at Byron Bay
wow auto replace 😅
I have a 5 min tutorial of this on my channel!
I just updated my PS but I don't have this tool. Why?

I am install latest version of photoshop.. but can't show sky replacement tool in edit menu 😞😞
Please help 🙏🙏
Not sure if you figured this out, but the update installs Photoshop 2021, you might be trying to launch Photoshop 2020
Sure you guys open your files with Photoshop 21? First I tried it with PS20, now with 21 it works.
you need to click the updated version there should be 2. go the adobe cloud. my neutral filters are glitch out though
Okay thanks to all .. I will check 👍❤️
@@TheDeadTexan same thing for me until I realised it.
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.
Aaron! 😀 Mouse instead of tablet???!?
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?
Whoa whoa whoa wait a minute. Apparently space aliens have kidnapped the real Aaron and replaced him with this guy. Q: where is Aaron's wacom!?! :-)
No sky replacement tool in upgraded PS. WTF 😬
I don't have it either
I don´t have it.
my photoshop don't have sky replacement and I don't know which version but everyone said lastest version . My version is 2020 still don't have.
This is completely unusable for me.Spinning beachballs.. Mac Mini M1. 16GB.
It’s like people who want trophies even if they lost. Who cares if you traveled somewhere and the sky wasn’t perfect! Better luck next time. The hunt continues! Keep going out!
Sorry doesn't work. COme back in 2078 when they finally get sky replacement to not look like dogsh*t
They are definitely interesting new functions. I tried them out today too. I'm excited to see what will follow with Adobe Sensei!
Why don't you say anything about all the new bugs (as well as all the old bugs from the previous version they never fixed) in this new version of Photoshop.

A big blow to Luminar 4.
Great tips regarding the sun and light direction. Thanks
I learned a lot on this one. Thank you for keeping it not too long, but jammed packed with great information.
The only update I don’t have on my Lightroom classic photoshop is this .. Am I using the wrong photoshop?
Sky replacement put sky over a white canopy backdrop how can I remove sky from parts of image?
My sky replacement tool will not let me move it around. It doesn't fill the whole sky . I can't adjust it.
why my photoshop dont have sky replacment tool? mine is PS CC 2019
Edit > Sky replacement.
Saved you 12 minutes of bs.
I can't find the clipping mask icon at 10:55 - I don't see the pop up with properties.
me too
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.
Why would I not have this option on my cc2020?
the replacement of sky does not show in my edits, how do I do?

It's a great addition to Photoshop. The purist will boo-hoo it but my pictures are for me and not social media.
Nicely presented as always =) Great addition to PS - are the included skies all copyright-free?
Excellent thank you 👌
How do I get the mask so that I can edit my original sky instead of replacing it?
Nothing is real anymore. landscape photography is dead.
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?
IG bloggers bout to be more fake
Why are you using the mouse Aaron? What happened to the Wacom?
what if it's a night photo? is there a way to add night sky in photoshop?
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.
Anyone print an image based on the Photoshop sky replacement tool? Curious out it lines out in an actual printed image.
I like your Studio.... It is nice and clean.... and a very good tutorial... thanks for sharing!!!!
hello , may i know which Photoshop version is this?
Thanks good tips 👏🏽 3:22 🕊️
Since which version this function starts work?
how can you get sky replacement in ps?
is there a way to keybind replacement sky?
Sky Replacement is greyed out for every photo I try to adjust. They’re in RGB mode but I can’t click on the Sky Replacement option. Help?
thank you so much it was helpful :)
how do I save my image as JPEG after I am done, it keeps only saving as photoshop and other things that's not JPEG??
Hey there! On the top bar menu click File > Export > Save for web legacy. You could also do File > Export > Export As... and select JPEG option 🤗
I can replace the sky AND the foreground, with just 1 click!
You do not need any, costly software for that. Windows file manager changes complete photos, with 1 clck!
Thank you. This is a huge help!! 🙂

Brush in overlay mode on the mask was a good tip. However, the image looked better without the sharp edges on the mask. Looked way more photoshopped after he tweaked the mask.
At the 8:32 mark--hold alt + Click and you view the layer mask--this doesn't work for me--any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Thanks!

What am I doing wrong while editing pictures? My Mac computer is more than 7 years old but I am using a 2020 photoshop.
This actually looks magical. Woooooooooow! I could cry!
These clouds as the background are totally odd. They are taking attention and pulling off of that building. Ruining the balance and motion. Bad job.
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?
I paused right before 3:22 and resume, genuinely thought there was a chicken lmao.
Thanks! Is this feature available on the mobile version of PS?
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. 😀
Wow, I really learned a lot from this 13mins video. Thanks a lot!
Excellent tutorial. I appreciate the non self indulgent, self aggrandizing presentation. Just the facts in a pleasant presentation. Well done!
Thanks for the detailed explanation especially on hownto refine the layer masks❤
Aaron. I watched a video you did on adding text. I think you added text with the words Lorem Ipsum. I followed along and now for some reason, every time I go to add text to a different image, those words pop up. How can I get rid of them?
Thank you for this.
Aaron is Back!! wow! I love your videos!! Hello from Cyprus! 👍😘
Thanks!
Extremely well done - clear and concise. Thanks
Wc Photoshop is that tool found?
very informative thanks. but how to I save it back to Lightroom?
Very helpful video! Maybe you can make a tutorial for color grading in Camera Raw 13? Thanks!
I like it; any idea if this feature is available in Adobe Lightroom as well?
It’s a cool feature, but when people are involved it doesn’t seem to work as great.
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! 🙌🏻⚡️💻💥💪🏻💯👏🏻
Where do you put the files ?
All the ads for this were for luminar 4. Hahahahaha
Aaron, you are the best. Brush blend mode, awesome tip
Played with the idea of buying lumina just for that... But dayumnn awesome that Photoshop now can do that on its own
Can you blur the sky?
What camera and lens did you use for this video ? Super crisp love it
Very good! It was useful for me. Thanks. :)
could not complete your request because of a program error. plz help me
Aye!! That pic is the light house from my home town. Niiiice
You are AMAZING thanks a lot for the training
