[QUOTE="hark, post: 558700, member: 13196"] Thanks, Fish. I will check it out. Thanks for the offer. I'm sure I can come up with something somehow but need to get out there and take some sky photos. Since we are in a hot spell for the weekend, I doubt I'll be able to take any soon. In the meantime, I will look for overlays. Google is my friend! Thanks for the tip on shooting in different directions. Wouldn't have thought about it until it was too late--and I would have wanted to kick myself in the arse! ;) I know what you mean about boosting the blue levels of a pale sky. Many times I go in and lower the blue luminosity (either in Bridge or LR) which darkens the blue although it affects the entire image. Then I have to use the brush to tone it down where it is too strong. And I watched one video about adding color to a sky in Photoshop. I need to find more of those videos--not sure how they selected the sky area--whether they used the selection tool ahead of time as the video started after the sky area was already selected. One of the tips I remember seeing on sky replacement videos was to blur the sky layer to match the photo. Thanks for reminding me as it is important! Right back at you. :rolleyes: I'm in a pinch and need serious answers quickly. There are threads where one person makes a joke then many of the other comments all tend to be jokes. There's a time and a place for everything, but this wasn't it. And no, I don't consider it to be cheating to use a sky overlay in this instance. I volunteered to create a calendar to use as a church fundraiser. Then another photographer decided to take portraits and create a church directory thus wanting to use my photos of the key people and committees. I understand the need for my photos, but with him using them, my calendar images will be redundant. I am looking for ways of enhancing my exterior building shots to give those images the WOW factor.
