Install the batch sky replace action pack and learn how it was made to help you create your own sky backgrounds in Photoshop.
Install the batch sky replacement package by copying Lightroom export presets and Photoshop actions. Load actions and brushes in Photoshop, then apply blue sky replacements to Lightroom exports.
Create a cloud brush in Photoshop by converting clouds to black and white, inverting, cropping to a 1 to 1 square, and defining a brush preset for batch sky replacements.
Learn to craft a custom blue sky background in Photoshop by selecting the sky, creating a new layer, and using the gradient tool for a dark blue to white transition.
Create randomized cloud fills on a non-destructive layer by adjusting brush spacing, size jitter, and scattering, then use the pen tool to stroke paths for a natural sky replacement.
Create a reusable Photoshop action for batch sky replacement, including flattening images, selecting the sky, using a cloud brush with jitters, and saving as a layered file.
Learn to automate batch sky replacement by turning a Photoshop action into a droplet and routing edits between Lightroom and Photoshop, preserving PSD layer edits for post-processing.
Sky replacement is a common tool in Photoshop, but it still has its limits and shortcomings. One of them is that you have to do each image individually. This course includes a free batch sky replacement action pack (made for macOS) and it will teach you how it was made so that you can make your own batch actions.
The second limitation is that the sky replacement tool simply replaces the sky with a stock sky image, making it look boring and fake. I will show you how to create cloud brushes from your own images and then use them to create a batch sky replacement action that randomly uses your clouds to create unique, beautiful skies automatically.
The last step is to take that action and make it into an actionable droplet so you can run it straight from Adobe Lightroom. That's right, you can export straight into the action and add blue skies to images automatically without leaving Lightroom!
This course includes not only my batch sky replacement action pack, but also 8 different cloud brushes, 12 sky replacement presets, 12 batch sky replacement Lightroom exports, and 6 source images of clouds that you can use to practice what you have learnt.
