HOW TO REPLACE WASHED OUT SKIES I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I CAN IMPROVE PICTURES THAT HAVE A NICE COLOUR BUT WASHED OUT SKIES. IN CAMERA RAW I CAN IMPROVE IT USING HSL IF THERE IS A BIT OF BLUE IN THE SKY. SOMETIMES EVEN SHOOTING IN RAW I GOT COMPLETELY WASHED OUT SKIES AND USING HSL MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. I TRIED TO FOLLOW SOME STEPS USING PHOTOSHOP CS5 TO REPLACE THE SKY BUT I COULD NOT DO IT. I NEED SOME BASIC STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS. IF ANY MEMBERS CAN HELP I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL AS I HAVE MANY NICE PICTURES THAT JUST NEED A NICE SKY. THANKS

First off, are you comfortable using Layers and Layer Masks, and adjusting the Brush Tool softness & strength in PS?

HI CHRISTOPHER I AM AFRAID NOT. I AM JUST BEGINNING TO USE PHOTOSHOP FOR THE BASICS. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE EASY JUST TO DO THAT.

Layers are so powerful, so useful, so valuable --- definitely worth studying up on! I put together a very short video clip on a layer technique I used, to show a friend how I did it. Maybe it will get you started: http://www.screencast.com/t/oylJ0vSlm

Very nicely made and presented video along with easy-to-understand instructions, Chris. I think the shortcut keys that you mentioned in the video are really helpful. Have you made anymore as I would definitely want to take a peek. Usman.

Thanks, Usman... I've not made more; this was my first attempt. If you have any particular topics I might know about, let me know! I'd gladly do another one...

Well Done Chris, I have a few saved from Lewis Kemper when I took his Photoshop Toolbox classes. I sometimes forget simple things when I haven't done them in a while so its nice to have a quick reference to shake the cobwebs loose. How did you record this ? I have an iMac and am sure its easy but have never tried to make a video but I am curious to try it sometime :) Cheers, Carlton

Hi Carlton---I used a freeware product called Jing; does the recording of screencapture (you specify how much screen to capture) as well as audio (though the built-in mic on the laptop isn't great!)
