Today I worked with Michelle Li on editing some photos. She's really great and a really valuable part of my art community. I'm looking forward to working with her. We're going to start a bathroom vandalism project together (photographing it) and I can't wait.
How to replace a sky in a picture (according to the method Michelle and I used)
- Find a nice sky that would work in your picture
- Open the sky in Photoshop and drag it over the picture you're putting it on (click command+T to transform it)
- Invert the sky using the adjustment layer
- Play around with options such as harden, lighten, overlay, etc...
- Mask the sky
- Brush it into your picture
Here is a method I researched today:
- Select and copy the original photo
- Paste the original photo into the sky photo’s document
- Duplicate layer 1
- Turn the top layer off
- Select layer 1
- Select the area below the sky
- Add a mask layer
- Select and turn on the top layer
- Open the blending options and change the "blend if" option to blue
- Drag the top right slider towards the left
- Adjust the transition between the photos to remove fringing
I haven't had time to try this out yet, but I will see how it works and make a video to make the above much clearer. I'm really wiped out from coming home at 7 p.m. every night.
