I am a real estate photographer. I have to use sky replacement many times. This tutorial will help me refine my skies. I have also been using select sky and it does a pretty good job with lots of trees in the way of the sky.

Undoubtedly the best sky replacement tutorial I have found. Thanks Aaron

Thanks for your great tutorial. A friend of mine told me today he use this tool to cut out hair from the background.With My Skies he puts his own background, no sky, behind the person/animal etc. Could you do a tutorial on this? Thanks.

Do you have an updated video of how to make business cards? I need to get the transparent logo I made onto the started card template.

After adding a different sky I noticed that it goes over the people too. The girl has a cloud directly on her clothes. How would you fix that?

[TheDeterminedRunner]

What I'd like to know next is 'Window Pulls' on pictures, so I can bring the outdoors in 👍

Very good tuturial - however its funny to see that you use lvls indstad of curves, why is that? Others PS guides swear to curves ( Jesus Ramirez, pixumperfect etc). Best rgd Kristoffer from Denmark.

[shaaaakezula]

can you do this with OLDER versions of PS?

[Erickhetfield]

The video is great as usual. However, the thumbnails are doing you a disservice. The changes in the before and after are too subtle and they don't catch our attention.

[Kangarooblue]

It's not brand new. It's been on the go since October 2020 and you did a tutorial when it was released.
