Replace the sky in images

Select Edit > Sky Replacement.

In the Sky Replacement dialog, select a sky from the presets or add your own.

Adjust the sliders to refine the sky and blend the foreground with the background.

• Shift edge: Determines where the border between the sky and the original image begins.
• Fade edge: Sets the amount of feathering from the sky image to the original photo along the edges.
• Brightness: Adjusts the brightness of the sky.
• Temperature: Adjusts the temperature of the sky warmer or cooler.
• Scale: Resizes the sky image.
• Flip: Flips the sky image horizontally.
• Lighting mode: Determines the blending mode used for lighting adjustments.
• Foreground lighting: Controls contrast in the foreground.
• Edge lighting: Adjusts lighting applied to object edges; a setting of zero makes no adjustments.
• Color adjustment: Adjusts how strongly the foreground is harmonized with sky colors.
• Output: Selects whether the result is placed on new layers or a duplicate flattened layer.

You can also adjust the sky by following tools:

• Sky Move : Moves the sky within the frame for better composition.
• Sky Brush  : Paints over areas to refine where the new sky is applied.
• Hand : Pans around the image at higher magnifications.
• Zoom<insert icon here>: Zooms in or out to adjust details with precision.

Select OK.

Open the Sky Replacement dialog box.

Use the Edge Lighting slider to set contrast on object edges. Larger values provide higher contrast and reduce halos.
