How To Replace Boring Sky In A Photo With Photoshop
welcome to psdesire photoshop & photography Youtube Channel.
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to use the Blend If 
tool in Photoshop to replace a sky quickly and 
easily.
To replace a sky, first open the image
and open an image of some sky to use.
Drag the sky layer into the image you are working 
on.
Choose a sky that is likely to blend well and which is 
close to the original sky
in my case new sky image is brighter than the original sky.
so i will try to adjust this with hue and saturation to bring colors close to original sky.
now sky colors in both images are similar.
duplicate the background layer by right clicking it 
and choose Duplicate Layer.
Move the background copy layer to directly place 
above all layers
Double-click on the layer's thumbnail.
This opens Photoshop's Layer Style dialog box set 
to the Blending Options in the middle column
Blend If option which, by default, is set to Gray. 
Which means it blend the whites and blacks in the 
image.
But we need blend the blue in the image.
Click on the word Gray and choose Blue from the list that appears
As soon as you change the option to Blue, the two slider bars
will change from black-to-white gradients to black-to-blue gradients.
Click on the small slider below the far right of the top bar and begin dragging it towards the left
split the marker in two by holding the Alt key as you 
drag one half of the marker away from the other
As you drag the slider, you'll begin to see the original sky in the photo
disappearing and revealing the replacement sky underneath.
adjust position of the new sky of your liking
If you have a fringing around the trees or clouds looks dull as I have in my image
you can use a Levels adjustment to fix this.
Here is the final result.
That's how to easily replace the sky in a photo using 
the Advanced Blending sliders in Photoshop!
