In Adobe Photoshop, to change the sky background in a project, you can use the following methods:
-
Sky Replacement Tool (available in Photoshop 2021 and later):
- Go to the menu bar and select Edit > Sky Replacement.
- This will open a dialog where you can choose from a variety of sky presets or load your own sky image.
- Adjust the settings such as brightness, positioning, and blending to fit your image.
-
Layer Masking:
- Select the area of the sky using selection tools such as the Quick Selection Tool or Magic Wand Tool.
- Once selected, create a layer mask to isolate the sky.
- You can then add a new layer beneath your sky layer and fill it with the desired sky image or color.
-
Gradient Tool:
- Create a new layer and use the Gradient Tool to create a gradient that simulates a sky effect.
- You can adjust the blending mode and opacity to integrate it smoothly with your project.
-
Adding Custom Sky Images:
- Import a new sky image onto your project by dragging it into the canvas.
- Adjust the size and position to cover the existing sky, then use a layer mask to blend it properly.
The Sky Replacement Tool is the most straightforward option if you have access to it, as it offers quick adjustments and a variety of preset skies.
