In this tutorial, you will learn how to replace the sky in a photo with Photoshop.

This Photoshop tutorial has two examples.

In the first example, I will show you how to do a simple sky replacement.

Then we will move to a more complex sky replacement with a completely different look.

The most important thing to grasp in this tutorial is the 3 concepts that will allow you to replace the sky from any photo.

• Masking
• Color (which includes luminosity and hue)
• Perspective

Don’t worry if you are a beginner, this tutorial divided into small digestible chunks so that anyone could follow along no matter your skill level.
