For Blake, it's all about the art and process synergy. He dives deep into complex topics and makes them easy to understand through his outside-the-box thinking so that you can use these tricks in your workflow today!
What would happen if you messed with the green channel as well instead of using the brush you did to erase the blue from your foreground? Would that just be overkill?
You could experiment with it. It just depends on the image and whether or not it needs it.
This is a fantastic tool to add to my belt. Thanks Blake.
Another fab video, Blake. I had to show Betty the start of the video where you talked about Sarah admiring clear blue skies. We’ve had that exact same conversation dozens of times.
Super! Thanks for this.
Hey, Blake, with a full week of absolutely clear skies, with fabulous landscapes, where are your nightscapes with fabulous milky ways ?
I was sleepy soundly ?
Thanks for reminding me that there are simpler tools that are available for sky replacement. Great Video
Would this work on a white, cloudy day, where the sky is solid white?
Yes, but you’d just use the grey slider
Excellent, as always!!
Thanks Blake for sharing this easy-to-use Sky Replacement tool!!! Easy it is and much more accurate then the AI option in PS!!!
This is brilliant! But I have an owl against an overexposed totally blown out sky. Overlaid a good sky using the color overlay but can’t get the good sky to come through. Any recommendations? thanks so much
I have a blown out sky. Added a nice cloud and blue layer but can’t make this work…any suggestions? thanks
Thanks Blake for another wonderful insight! You never cease to amaze!
