When I use the Blend If method of replacing a sky, in a file with snow-topped mountains, I double click the top layer and then click blue. When I start sliding the white slider it begins knocking out the blue in the snow before it knocks out the sky to reveal substitute sky below. If I keep sliding it replaces sky AND snow with replacement sky.
What am I doing wrong or how do I handle this? I had a similar situation with water in a picture that was being replaced also because it contained blue.

Thanks

Hi Jesus, really informative video. Well done! Desiring to learn how to replace washed out in grey skies in real estate images with a Bluer sky more natural looking sky. Would I leave the blend if sliders on Gray to remove the gray? Or is there another technique you can share? Thank you very much, Tony

¡Jesús!

Although you tend to go a little fast sometimes, your tutorials are always of great value, even when I (have to ;))see them for the tenth time (to remember the “tricks”).

Wondering if I could download the example files you used in this indispensable <> as they tell me more than the proverbial 1000 words.

Bye,
