Thank you Ms Temperate for making this so simple. Needed to give sky behind blossoming tree some color so blossoms show up.
That’s a great use of this! :)
Great Love It Thank You :)
Alfred Daud Suren Thank you, so glad to help!
Thank you!!
+Dilya Vakhitova Glad to help!
Thank you Temperate Sage - I was spending so much time trying to figure out someone else's tutorial and thought try someone else you were quicker, right to the point and I did it perfectly first time, although perhaps instead of saying, 'we're going to go here', actually say what you are selecting - that would be helpful - thank you so much!
Glad it helped you out! ^^
Awesome!
Glad to help!
That was useful! Never used the color range tool before, interesting way to be able to select all the white parts. made a separate layer for the gradient and masked it w/ the selection.
+4zn1nv4zn3 That would be a good way of doing it! ^^

There are usually multiple ways to acoomplish an effect in PS. This method is one of the easier ways to add a blue sky. I just finished watching someone else's tutorial and although he's clearly very experienced and knowledgable, his technique to accomplish a blue sky was far more convoluted and took 20mins to explain. Thanks for the excellent tutorial!
awesome thank you :)
;6
Thank you!
Wendy Huygebaert Glad to help!
Thank you :)
+Prakash Prabhu Glad to help!
Thank you nice video
Glad to help!
Could you not use 'refine edges' to get all the twigs in and make it look totally natural?
Thanku for ur help
Welcome!
Love this. Tutorial ideas: matte effects, eyes popping effects..
Amanda Pollex Thank you! Send me some samples of what you are looking for at gesasage88@gmail.com and I will take a look. =) Also by eye popping effects do you mean like eyes bulging out, or just flashy. XD
I have Photoshop elements, is there a way to do the color range on photoshop elements? I did not find anything that said color range.
Thanks! By far the simplest
Horng Jian Bee Happy to help! Try to keep them simple! ^^
Temperate Sage See the result in my just uploaded flickr album hehe. Thanks again www.flickr.com/photos/racenotrice/sets/72157656518322018
Horng Jian Bee Nice work! =D I love getting to see people use these tutorials! ^^
very smart ; )
thank you
Welcome!
Good job ..! Nice
Sx Studio Thanks!
You're welcome!!! Visit my channel maybe its you please
Perfect. Great job and to the point. I hate tutorials where people are just showing off their skills or pointing out things that aren't needed. We are all looking for a quick fix, not a movie. Thanks for a well-done tutorial!
Thank you! ^^
how do you do the same thing but replacing the background with a photo of clouds or storms etc?
I just made a tutorial for that here: ruclips.net/video/U9oeFEFkQXY/видео.html
I'm not sure what I am doing wrong, like a couple of others even though my swatch in the palette is blue, my sky turns to gray. I can't seem to get it to ANY color.
Try to use selective color - whites slider and add some blues to the whites:)
i love you! 😚😚😚
Hi how do you change sky if your subject has a white shirt? how do you deselect any white on the subject?
That is when things get a little more tricky and you will have to do a very careful removal of the blue from the shirt with either a layer mask or a history brush. I would recommend using a brush set to medium or high hardness as that will help make sure the lines you create when removing the blue are nice and crisp. A lot of techniques have their downfalls and a subject with a lot of white is the downfall of this one. ;)
how do you do this but prevent other white areas from becoming blue? is the polygon lasso tool the only way or once you've selected your whites, is there a way to remove specific selected areas?
They best ways I know is to experiment with the selective color adjustment bars before doing the selection, but it can be hit or miss. You could definitely do a selection of the area to help with the problem areas and then use a light weight mask or history brush to brush back in the places you don't want blue. Another option is to use a brush that looks like clouds and use that with the mask or history brush function to add some of the original white back in at low capacities around the horizon of the image. Hope some of those help!
btw I meant "select color range" when I said "selective color". XD
thanks, i'll try the history brush, didn't know about that. I ended up doing exactly what you do in the video and then used the magic wand tool to deselect the white areas under the sky that i wanted to stay the same. thanks for the video and your reply.
hey... my color changing option not getting the way you are taking. when i select blue it show me brow color?
+Tariq Mehmood Make sure when you do the gradient tool that the color picker options (little color boxes at the bottom of the tool bar) are blue on top and white for background. I think that has solved it for most people! Let me know if you need anymore help!
Well, when I end the Color Range process and click OK...nothing gets selected, what am I missing here?
I'm sorry, I've just solved it. Thanks for the tip/video!
Yeah I have a question: how do I get Photoshop for free?
how do you make photos look fantasy, faded and the sun glowing in the back ground outside? My favourite photographer does it and I want to Master it so badly. (Think you could also make a steampunk costume for the picture??)
Do you have a picture of the photo you could link to? I could take a look!
Doesnt work for me :/ , when i try to do the gradient thing it says that its not editable or something like that, im kind of a noob in photoshop, does anyone know whats up??
I followed your instructions exactly and my sky turns black/gray
instead of blue. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
+Jamie Welker Hmm, double check that your palette colors are indeed blue and white before you use the gradient tool. Sometimes if you accidentally click on another color before using it, it will reset them to that. Let me know if that works, if not I will try and help you find another solution. =)
When I do this for some reason, I pick a blue, but the icon of boxes stays different shades of grey no matter what I pick. Any ideas? First timer lol
You might need to reselect your colors after using the select color range picker because it might revert your color selection to the grey of the sky.
I did everything you said but the colour selection thing i chose blue and it came up with light grey, it won't change from that! How do i get rid of it?
I think a couple of people have had this issue, make sure that your color picker palette is still a sky blue color on the upper palette, some times the selection process makes it the color of the current sky before people get to the gradient step. If that isn't the issue let me know and I will try to help you trouble shoot something else. :)
I don't know what I did wrong. I followed step by step with the tutorial, and everything went well until I selected the gradient tool and started at the top and moved down my photo. The color didn't change. I had selected a blue sky and it was in the box to the back (not the border box). So I don't know what to do. Also there were some white elements in the photo below the sky that were also highlighted, so I specifically did not go all the way to the bottom of the photo with the gradient tool, as I didn't want those white elements to change. Thanks for any help you can give me.
+Iris Hmm I am still trying to figure this one out, perhaps check to make sure your gradient opacity isn't super low. This is the only thing I can think of for this one. If anyone else has any ideas please feel free to comment!
could you please tell me how can I add birds to the sky in an image using photoshop cs6
shubham sanap Actually this is a great suggestion for a future video! I will add that to our list and hopefully get it done soon!
thanks
for your quick response
Hi, this all worked really well until I did the gradient tool thingy at which point it removed the colour from every part of the photo. In other words my sky went back to being white. It was on my own photo.
+Sarah Lloyd Hmm, check to see that you still have your selection and that the colors from your color pallet pickers are white and blue still. I have had some people accidentally lose their colors before doing the gradient or lose the selection. Let me know if either of those work. If not I will look at some other ideas of what it could be.
ok...what did i forget.......i did exactly like it said, area was selected, but when i selected Gradient tool and made the marks, the color did not change
+more999 Let me think. You might need to make sure that the color picker has blue selected. select color range tool can change the color picker to white and it would look like nothing had changed. Let me know if that helped!
very simple tricks...... thanks 4 this video.. from bangladesh.. subscribe ur channel
+Nafis Ahmed So glad to help!
My pleasure...
can u please share a song that was sung by me... cz,,u have many subscriber ? pls.i insist u
i followed step by step but my sky became brighter and whiter instead, what did i do wrong ?
Hmm that's a new one for me. I would check and make sure that you have a blue color still selected in your color picker right before you use the gradient tool to make the sky, perhaps it accidentally selected a white tone before you did the gradient.
Temperate Sage hey thanks for the reply but I finally figured out the problem and got it fixed! Your video was very helpful thank you !
Happy to help! Glad you where able to figure it out. :)
thinks that is i wonted to knew . :)
Rasan Hirori Glad to help! =) Let me know if you have any other technique you want to learn.
think you soo macht . iam from iraq - kurdistan folow you :)
Rasan Hirori Nice to meet you! Happy to have you here! =)
I like the original one
Me too, but for tut purposes it was a good choice. :)
Temperate Sage By the way is it possible for you to do a tutorial on photo effects? Like if you search Anka Zhuravleva, Brooke Shaden, Kyle Thompson... Etc those kind of effects?
I don't have enough money to effort photoshop cs6 so I'm currently using cs2, I don't know what to do with my pictures beside contrast and brightness. But yeah, you can still do it on cs6 if you want. Thanks
I could do a few more photo manipulation tutorials in the future, I'll have to think of some good ones. :) Perhaps I'll do a few tutorials for those who are still at cs2 as well! It's been a while since I have gone in and looked for the tools people are missing in that one.
Temperate Sage THANK YOU SO MUCH
Instead of saying click here, you should say what are you really clicking.
Why would you ruin a beautiful sky?
Awesome!
+Paul Martin Thank you!
