Sky swaps can often leave fringes and halos around tree branches, leaves, and other small objects, but in this episode I show how to fix those halos and fringes when doing any type of sky swap by using some simple techniques in Adobe Photoshop. Below are links mentioned in the video:

Thank you! This is extremely helpful.

This is invaluable, Mr. Cool, thank you! Do you use actions to speed up any of this process?

Thanks Nathan, another tool for the trick bag. I really need to by your book about exterior REP!

Hi Nathan thanks as always your experience and knowledge is always impressive. I have a question the chimney for instance I find when i add the sky replacement it would cover that chimney and even fading the edge on the sky replacement in PS doesnt completely remove this so the fringing on the tree works but how do u remove bleed onto the home roof or chimney itself pls ?

Thanks! The sky detection bleed is a known issue in PS and LrC. Perhaps another video on this?

Nathan,
I’m curious if you have worked with interiors that have windows with special tint and/or security film.
I noticed these types of windows can be very tricky to photograph using the flash method, as it casts harsh reflections of the interior onto the window no matter what setting of power level is used on the flash.
Would love to see a video on this!

Yes. I've shot literally thousands of homes, and I've come across just about every kind of window, treatment, blinds, frames, etc. you can shake a stick at :) All window pulls follow the same rules and fundamentals (not always the same settings or power). Once you apply the proper rules and fundamentals, then you can tackle any window pull, no matter its makeup. If you'd like to learn more on this then you might want to look at my Pro Interiors course, here's a link if you'd like to check that out: ProInteriors.NathanCool.com
