00:00:00,150 --> 00:00:06,570
Hey there, in the previous video, we combine two images with the use of a laser mask, well, starting

2
00:00:06,570 --> 00:00:13,500
with twenty twenty one Photoshop comes with a sky replacement feature that does the trick in just a

3
00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:16,530
few clicks, will use the same image as before.

4
00:00:16,650 --> 00:00:18,210
So let's get straight into it.

5
00:00:18,450 --> 00:00:22,780
First of all, we can ask Photoshop to select the sky all on its own.

6
00:00:23,220 --> 00:00:26,610
This is an optional step, but there's something to be aware of.

7
00:00:26,980 --> 00:00:29,880
Go to the top menu to select from here.

8
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:30,940
Choose Sky.

9
00:00:31,350 --> 00:00:32,370
Wait a second, then.

10
00:00:32,370 --> 00:00:33,120
Let's have a look.

11
00:00:33,570 --> 00:00:37,530
Notice it didn't do a great job here on the left side of the screen.

12
00:00:37,890 --> 00:00:42,870
This is to be expected with these one click wonders that do the job for you.

13
00:00:42,900 --> 00:00:45,030
The result is never going to be perfect.

14
00:00:45,510 --> 00:00:51,300
OK, I'll deselect to control the desk, command the UniMac because that was an optional step.

15
00:00:51,300 --> 00:00:55,980
But I wanted to show you how Photoshop sees the sky from this particular image.

16
00:00:56,430 --> 00:01:03,120
OK, to automatically replace the sky, select the specific layer and then go to the top menu to edit

17
00:01:03,630 --> 00:01:04,400
from here.

18
00:01:04,410 --> 00:01:06,690
Scroll down to sky replacement.

19
00:01:07,170 --> 00:01:10,430
And here's the new window that controls all the magic.

20
00:01:10,770 --> 00:01:13,500
The most important bit is this thumbnail here.

21
00:01:13,950 --> 00:01:18,420
Click it and you'll get a load of options all structured into folders.

22
00:01:18,810 --> 00:01:23,490
And because the folders they expand and they close lovely stuff.

23
00:01:23,910 --> 00:01:27,930
Click and see how Photoshop easily changes our default sky.

24
00:01:28,410 --> 00:01:31,710
In a nutshell, that's the sky replacement feature.

25
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:38,510
In most cases it will give you a decent result is not going to be perfect, but it's solid stuff.

26
00:01:39,180 --> 00:01:44,760
Keep in mind we can use the zoom tool by hitting the hotkeys so we can inspect our image.

27
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:51,660
We can also pan around from side to side with the spacebar key and we can fit the image to the screen

28
00:01:51,660 --> 00:01:56,400
with control zero, which is ideal because we want to see the complete picture.

29
00:01:57,090 --> 00:02:03,330
What's great is that we can use our own sky images, click the thumbnail to expand your list of choices.

30
00:02:03,660 --> 00:02:06,030
At the bottom, you have this plus symbol.

31
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,330
Click it and now you can browse your computer for an image.

32
00:02:09,690 --> 00:02:13,530
I choose the sky from the other lecture, choose a name for it.

33
00:02:13,530 --> 00:02:14,940
And there you go.

34
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:16,320
Select that.

35
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:21,810
And for the settings, let's go with zero for the fade edge and minus 30 for the shift edge.

36
00:02:22,380 --> 00:02:24,210
More on those in the next lecture.

37
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:30,330
And in case the new guy has some odd parts in it, you can move it around with your mouse.

38
00:02:30,630 --> 00:02:32,040
Just click and there you go.

39
00:02:32,610 --> 00:02:38,460
Naturally, we don't want these nasty edges, but that's why we have a scale slider here.

40
00:02:38,970 --> 00:02:40,380
Don't go crazy with it, though.

41
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,690
Small increases are the way to go.

42
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,200
That's even a flip option here, just in case you need it.

43
00:02:46,620 --> 00:02:50,940
And that's the new sky replacement tool available, starting with Photoshop.

44
00:02:51,330 --> 00:02:52,380
Twenty twenty one.
