Thanks again Brendan for yet another fantastic video. I always try to anticipate what steps you are going to take... sometimes I even get them right lol, but you are the man! Wonderful job, keep up the good work. I really learn a lot from these.

I learned so much in this lesson. You did a really comprehensive job of the techniques to do this common task. I appreciate the cheat sheet and the reminder email as well. The replacement sky package is phenomenal. I am sure these same techniques will apply to sky replacement as well.

Does anyone know why the multiply function is causing me trouble?
I need a white background, but it's impossible with the multiply function on.
And without the multiply function it's super stark

Why is this tutorial 10 minutes long? It should be 1 minute or less. Do better next time.
