SKY REPLACEMENT, PART 2
In last month’s column, we poked around the main features of Sky Replacement, new in Photoshop- For that specific task, the results are astounding, and it even works in some photos where there’s
simply a plain background with which to work. It does have some limitations, however, one of which is
that Sky Replacement doesn’t understand the concept of reflections. We’re going to solve that problem,
and finish up with some cool suggestions for making the most out of this great new capability.

STEP ONE: To start this
image, I simply ran Edit>
Sky Replacement and
chose a stock sky from
the gallery. You can find
the Adobe Stock image
that we’re using by clicking
here. Ensure Output is set
to New Layers, and click
OK. This, of course, results
in a new Sky Replacement
Group in the layer stack,
and a gorgeous sky.
