I just found your site on TH-cam! I am ecstatic that finally, I found a superb procedure to replace a sky no matter what is on the horizon, be it trees with open branches or very uneven mountains, etc. I did make some personal adjustments which fit my personal workflow such as using "blend if." Your video was very easy to follow, the instructions were in logical order and clearly stated. Obviously, it did take me several tries and pausing your video as I practiced replacing skies, but now I feel very comfortable. I subscribed and look forward to your other instructional videos.
Great tutorial.........complex selections can definitely be difficult at times, nice to see another way of dealing with fringing problems....well done, very informative video with clean and concise explanations. Good job mate !
Thank you for using a photo sent in by a subscriber. This showed how to fix a problem that is often encountered by those of us without professional-grade camera equipment. Keep up the good work!
So far I have watched about 30 to 40 of your videos and in most of them I have picked up a new trick that I was able to put to use right away in my workflow. In this one: using the brush in soft light mode for the filter and having the layer style as a layer. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Loved this video tutorial. Tried it all with a shot I took on the Riverwalk in San Antonio. I found that at the end, using the Linear blend did the best but everything else was spot on. Nice work.

Brilliant stuff as usual, Glyn. But i do have one question: Was there a reason why you made the mask on the sky layer, rather than adding it to the backround layer and moving your new sky underneath? (I'm just curious as to why you did it that way around!). Thanks.
I have subscribed to many photoshop tutes but you are by far the best and my favourite shanks so much I spend more time watching you than doing ha so addictive
Outstanding tutorial! I have tried a couple AI programs but they just can't do trees the way your tutorial and approach can! Love your channel and cheers!
finally some technique which little easy and less consuming to do.....thanks for that and in future if u have any plane to show us some cool way to do low exposer art effect in Photoshop cc its going to be real help....
What a great lesson. Question for you. At the 5:19 position, once you have the midtone and shadow channels saved, would it better to make a "Calculation" using the "Add" command and just join the two saved channels?
Great job Glyn. I still noticed a little bit of a red toned fringe on the leaves, could using a hue/sat adjustment layer targeting the reds and shift it more towards the sky blue helped? Probably in colorize mode. Either way it looks great! I'm really enjoying your shows. Thank you
Hi, Glyn -- I am just catching up with some of your older tutorials, so I apologize for the delay in getting this question to you: If you had applied the duplicate-with-Multiply-and-Layer-Mask technique to the Background layer at the beginning -- rather than at the end -- of your workflow, would it not have retrieved more of those almost-disconnected, almost-blown-out branch tips and leaves from that troublesome tree on the left? Curiously (if Tardily), Lórien
As always, thanks for sharing. Quick question: Why not start to create the Sky selection using Color_Range_Highlights instead of Midtones plus Shadows?
Thanks for the tutorial does this method work for hair that has a different color with the hair different colors also of background? Most tutorials I see are of removing it from a one color background.
I tore what hair I have left out playing to get the best result for this and did actually try that as it would have made it quicker resulting in just one extra channel but for some reason it just didn't work all that good. Gave me the same result as using sample colours and clicking in the sky :(
Hi Glyn, I am doing this in CS5 and have followed every step (several times) and the smart object will not go over when I use the move tool. Is this tutorial only for CS6 or do I need to do something different in CS5. Thanks
Hi Glyn i have a question for you, when using photoshop and colour range, is there a reason i have to select Fuzziness and range and on tutorial you didnt, i think this changes outcome loads but cant see a way past it. im using CC latest version. regards stef
How do I make my color range tool look like yours? When I open my tool and go to the drop down menu and select mid tones, shadows or highlights I am also given two sliders to adjust. Should I leave them at 0 or move them all the way up to 100?
Hello again Mr. Glyn I've a question trying to follow your instructions in the video I noticed the marching ants disappear in segment 3:50 what did you do to make it disappear? I can't figure if I need to deselect it or it was a jump in the video? Was it a command key you don't mention? I'm still looking at the video trying to figure it out haven't proceeded much further. Also I'm using a different photo with a dog in the background of a dark area that is toned almost the same as the dog been fiddling trying to figure out what to do with that too. Your advise please an step procedure?
Question I noticed this works with colors that are clear cut as the sky an trees you have in the video what if there not an multicolored or both dark/light an are not so clearly defined?
Thanks for this one, glyn... the tip for using white and black in overlay mode on the channel mixer was REALLY useful. Hadn't occurred to me.
Hey Glyn, pleaaaase never stopp doing these tut`s they're the best!!
There will be folk tales that tell of a Photoshop legend... that legend Glyn, will be you.

Probably the best selection video I've seen yet. Good job Glyn, thanks.
Fantastic tutorial Glyn...there are no bounds to your knowledge of PS!
Thanks so much for sharing.
I have been struggling with only applying a layer style to one particular part of an image forever! Oh the joy, cheers Glyn.
Watched this tutorial 4 times in 24 hours to get the techniques right. Really appreciate the way you teach.
Great tutorial.........complex selections can definitely be difficult at times, nice to see another way of dealing with fringing problems....well done, very informative video with clean and concise explanations. Good job mate !
Thank you for using a photo sent in by a subscriber. This showed how to fix a problem that is often encountered by those of us without professional-grade camera equipment. Keep up the good work!
I have been trying to figure this one out for years. This is the best technique I have ever seen. Thanks so much. You now have a new subscriber.
Thanks Glyn for another great tutorial podcast. I will be getting out a few problem landscape images and using your advice.
Brilliant tutorial. Love your delivery and straight forward explanations. No brainer to subscribe BOOM! Many thanks
The tip about using overlay in mask mode is amazing! Thanks Glyn. Keep up all the good work.

Really useful Glyn! Learned shedloads from that 24mins! Cheers :)

As always, thanks for sharing. Quick question: Why not start to create the Sky selection using Color_Range_Highlights instead of Midtones plus Shadows?
I agree with the clouds being "free stock images". I think the same applies to landscapes for posters.
very helpful - thanks!

hi, Glyn, whats ur opinion abt topaz remask

Hi Glyn i have a question for you, when using photoshop and colour range, is there a reason i have to select Fuzziness and range and on tutorial you didnt, i think this changes outcome loads but cant see a way past it. im using CC latest version. regards stef
glyn I love ur work very much would u have considered get a online tutorial ? cofcoz paid tutorial thanks
You use a tablet in Lightroom too Glyn?
What if you duplicated just the selection of the trees into a multiply layer 2 or 3 times?
How do I make my color range tool look like yours? When I open my tool and go to the drop down menu and select mid tones, shadows or highlights I am also given two sliders to adjust. Should I leave them at 0 or move them all the way up to 100?
Thanks, I was really pissed editing images with trees and Antenas in removing the background
Hello again Mr. Glyn I've a question trying to follow your instructions in the video I noticed the marching ants disappear in segment 3:50 what did you do to make it disappear? I can't figure if I need to deselect it or it was a jump in the video? Was it a command key you don't mention? I'm still looking at the video trying to figure it out haven't proceeded much further. Also I'm using a different photo with a dog in the background of a dark area that is toned almost the same as the dog been fiddling trying to figure out what to do with that too. Your advise please an step procedure?
To make them disappear I say / do "Select...DeSelect" once I have saved them
Question I noticed this works with colors that are clear cut as the sky an trees you have in the video what if there not an multicolored or both dark/light an are not so clearly defined?
What about Black Background & Black hair?
Can we try the same trick for hair?
Sure thing
Ah, I wondered what the "chain" icon meant.
Yes I was SOLD!
