** SHORTENED TRANSCRIPT **
Today, I'm going to be walking you through the brand new sky replacement feature in Photoshop.
This feature came out at the perfect time for me, because I just took that horribly overexposed picture with my DJI Mavic Air 2 a couple of weeks ago.
But the sky replacement tool fixed it for me within two minutes, and that's exactly how long this video will take to break it down for you.
I've opened up this shot in Photoshop, then I'm going to head over to Edit, then Sky Replacement.
Photoshop will immediately detect the edge of the background, and then replace it with a different sky.
The first step is to choose a sky that actually matches your picture. Photoshop comes pre-loaded with a few choices, or you can also drop in your own. Might want to consider dropping in your own, because I'm sure these will be seen everywhere within a few weeks.
The shift edge slider allows me to adjust where the sky replacement transitions into the background. This helps me to blend the original elements of the shot into the sky. Warning though - if your sky replacement contains any elements in the background - like this one does, with the mountains, shifting the edge can make them appear in the wrong place.
And if you zoom in and move around with the Zoom and Hand tools, you can use the Sky Brush tool by hitting B to carefully paint over and extend or reduce the sky area.
So for example - if I move the sky down and start painting, you'll see that Photoshop will try to blend elements of the original background with your sky replacement.
Moving back to the main section of the panel, the fade edge slider controls how sharp the transition from the sky to the background actually is. +100 tends to look good, because it still incorporates some of the cloud from my original shot.
The brightness slider controls the exposure of the sky. Slide it to the right to brighten, or slide it to the left to darken.
The temperature slider controls the color temperature of the sky. This is one of the biggest selling factors - if the color temperature of your sky doesn't match the color temperature of your picture, it isn't going to be believable.
For example, look at what happens when I switch over to a blue sky. Photoshop tries to adjust my picture to match, but it just doesn't work.
Which brings us to the foreground adjustments. Based on the sky you choose, Photoshop will automatically apply a gradient filter over your foreground to try and match the color of your sky.
By default, it does a pretty good job with the lighting and color adjustments. The lighting adjustment slider controls the brightness of the foreground - in other words, how much the sky is lighting up the scene. And the color adjustment slider can be used to add color which matches the sky - which really helps to sell the shot.
Where Photoshop doesn't always get it right is the Lighting Mode. Without getting into too much detail, here's what you need to know: if your background is close, choose multiply to retain most of the contrast.
When we hit 'output to new layers', Photoshop will automatically generate a Sky Replacement Group folder for us with individual adjustments for everything we set, allowing us to fine-tune and make further changes (if we want to).
