Excellent! Helped me learn 3 things: change a background layer to something editable, a new layer mask trick that greatly improved productivity AND the difference between layer mask and adjustment layer. Thanks!
I have had Elements for about six months now, I have taught myself how to edit pictures but there is a world of options out there I just dont know how to use, I know I am missing a lot with this program. Where can I learn everything I need to know about making my pictures great, rather then just seeing tid nits of information with these videos which frankly I forget when I edit a picture. Thanks, John
If you still follow this I would like to know how to duplicate the new sky's reflection in the water? And thanks for the lessons they are quite informative.
If you did not want the clouds, but wanted to enhance the blown-out sky, then you could try the Smart Brush using Blue Skies (or try others) from the Natures preset, or in a Layer Mask add a Photo Filter, I find Cooling Filter (82) gives a realistic sky colour and this methord will retain any colour grading from the original sky, giving a more realistic look; if there were clouds in your original photo, then you can Erase the filter over the clouds to retain their white colour.
Fine if you have a fairly straight horizon, but doesn't work if you have a complicated unecen subject like a historic building with turrets, chimneys etc
Great video and a great job of explaining. Thanks Bob

Would you comment on transferring a file from Lightroom, editing in Elements, and transferring the edited version back to Lightroom.
How does PSE 14 do lighting effects? That filter>render>lighting effects menu item was removed in PSE 12, onwards.
magnificent
just curious why you didn't use place rather than open to get your sky overlay on your original photo?
What is the name of your facebook page where we can ask questions?
