How to Add Clouds to a Sky in Photoshop

[@indigokj]

Sometimes when you post a topic I think, "I already know how to do that." But then I watch and you show me an alternative that's so cool. Thank you! Really enjoy these.

[@KirilVarbanov]

Photoshop is virtually endless when it comes to possibilities. Thanks for the Clipping mask tip :) Well done.

[@CassiEnerson]

Coffee. I absolutely love this channel. I learn something EVERY time I watch an episode. I would love to learn this for a living. Thank you for teaching me something I have always had a passion for but never the time to do it. Your knowledge and kindness make it fun to learn.

Hoping Plearn is working on a annual subscription model.. That gets implemented, and I'm in like Flint.

This is cool. Love it

[@DonaldSimsProduction]

You have added to my education one more time. Thank you so much.

[@imageblogger2142]

Jeez I like your work Aaron

[@eileenkorney7900]

Thumbs up to this video! Your instructions worked great for me, thanks for the help.

[@essentialoil4you]

Great tutorial Aaron as always you make it looks so easy. I enjoy watching these because i learn a little from each one. Thanks for all you do for us. When is your next question and answer session with Kat?

[@mohitthapa7064]

HEY AARON,could i give out a request on a tutorial on turning a portrait into THE GTA cartoon style? a lot of young viewers would love it

[@MarioDiLeonardo]

Trevor Philips rules also for the older ones, dude! I'm soooooo done wiiiith this, lol.

[@IsaacSolexio]

Great ida that sounds sick!

[@mohitthapa7064]

i know

[@tunelvission]

so many tutorials out there for this but I would love to see how AARON would get it done. C'mon Mr. President!

[@PaulBphoto]

Excellent tutorial! Maybe it's me but I'm not a big fan of always replacing a cloudless sky with a different sky. Particularly in this case, I prefer the clear sky. It focuses attention on the house. Sometimes I take clouds out of the sky.

[@ee9317]

Awesome tutorial man! Thank you for making these videos!

[@theoroander]

I love editing Photos, and you makes me learn funny and helpfull ways to edit my Photos . I Am pretty mutch a new in editing. So you guys helps me out a lot!
Thanks!

[@C0ldslayer]

Aron one tip, at 07:40 u press "create clipping mask" for the selective color adjustment layer. You can create clipping mask adjustment layer more easier, Just click on the layer you'd like to clip and hold alt, while holding alt click on the adjustment layers and select any, it will offer you a choice to automaticly clipp the layer :D sorry for bad english
Thank you for the episode it was great as usuall

[@19Photographer76]

I believe you just suggested a 'Vector Mask', not a 'Clipping mask'.

[@C0ldslayer]

David Dube Ye that's what i ment :P

[@mojolu1126]

Great video can you please provide the name brand and product number for the pad and pen stylus you're using with your Mac? Thanks

[@ncertactivityideas5688]

hi, it would great help, if I could know which version of photoshop you are using in this video?

[@jwgregory2005]

Any tips on when you have a few trees in the photo. I find it hard to get the sky selected properly around the trees and leaves.

You could actually get a better selection (to fit better the trees for example) by using the refine selection function... it does an impressive job actually

[@Walid90dz]

Thank you for a wonderful explanation of Technology

[@tavichis]

Awesome video..

[@skthalange]

Hi Aaron, can you do a tutorial on how to make gradients?

[@hunjoey]

The sky on the "after" version looks much more lighter.. especially the clouds. On the top left corner it can be seen that the sun is high on the sky and there is an other sun behind the bush at the bottom right corner.
I would have made the new cloudy image a bit transparent and would have made sure that the two suns are in the same position. :)

[@kemisoyiki]

You guy should do a food photography shoot and PS tutorial to edit them

[@user-zi3jw4nr7t]

Love it!

[@andreyCRAZY93]

Hello Phlearn, I've got a photo with Golden Gate bridge and I want to replace that background but the problem is that I must select the tiny spaces between the bridge construction and I find very hard to do it with magic wand. Any way you can help me? I would be grateful.

[@0288mcortese]

If you don't mind me asking... What tools did you use or how did you shoot to get that original picture of the house??

[@endrocahyo15]

Dear phlearn, I really wanna know how to make a cool potrait especially for a wedding photography. Thanks

[@commandermiya4602]

What is the version you use can you please link it here thanks a lot :)

[@abnerbondo605]

Thank You!

[@sirhamalot8651]

Hi Aaron! I have a hard time seeing that a photo is slightly green or yellow. Is there a way in Photoshop to help color correct what my untrained eye doesn't see?

[@harshchauhan3451]

[@deshankarunarathna3745]

hey. Nice video. can you do a video by demonstrating how to merge two photos (people) with different resolution to one photo.

[@dan7696]

Can you make a tutorial on how to make advanced and professional graphics in Photoshop? That would be great!

[@markcrislip7404]

Maybe you could've put a little bit of a gradient mask on the curves layer to mimic the setting sun sky of the original?

[@MrBeuhh]

All your work is really amazing!
I am becoming a Phlearn addict!
Could you make a tuto to explain how to insert a lot of people in a photo?
Thanks from France

[@albertr915]

cool video.

[@mypindao4564]

Thanks for all your great tutorials. One quick question please: in the final of this video as well as many others, you showed BeforeAfter in fullscreen mode. How could do the Alt_hide layers thing in fullscreen mode?

[@itssauravhere]

I learnt something new today and even did apply the learning, however with trees in the foreground in my picture, it is really difficult to get image with Sky go behind the trees completely. If required i can mail it to you... Need your expert advice here.. thanks in advance :)

[@AK4ID3N]

I really love your job ;)

[@andrewbarratt8551]

Nice work, well presented but your stuff always is. If you're ever stuck for an episode I could certainly do with some help with a picture I'm struggling with. Let me explain; I took a picture of a rescue helicopter flying past, the shot was good but my shutter speed froze the rotors in mid air so it just looks like it's levitating instaed of flying - not good. The rear rotor at the tail was pretty straight forward as it's facing you at pretty much 90 degrees so a simple circular motion blur with a few tweaks fixed that. However the main rotors above the cabin at an oblique angle - not such an easy fix, for me at least. Like I say, if your looking for episodes, one that covers that would be a great help.
Keep up the great work!

[@dazman1973]

Hey Phlearn, I have a request for a tutorial. I'm intending to make a composite image of my children dressed in their comic book character costumes set in a classic New York street style stock photo. I think I now understand using the colour selection tool to adjust highlights and tones to match the stock photo. My main concern is making them actually appear like they are standing on the sidewalk and not just floating on it.
Does that sound like something you could do a brief tutorial on?
Thanks for all you great work, my Photoshop skills are improving greatly thanks to you guys!

[@ziadomic2522]

I can't get both photos up at the same time to layer the clouds, please help!

[@dallasrealestate8083]

Hey, I want to say I have seen episodes where a viewer will submit a photo to be enhanced by Aaron, you just have to like submit it. Does he still do that? and if he does how do we submit it, cause I have a photo that I could use some help with.

[@DoByDamn]

good video

[@remmai]

Man, you are great👏👏👏

[@tashabraniff3997]

Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong? When I do this, I get a hard greenish line around the house? It just makes it stick out so much that it’s a “fake” sky!

[@BLEURfangers]

That photo would also look interesting with a dark storm sky, would highlight the lights on in the house and on the exterior and objectify the building more.
Cheers.

[@KirpalSinghSpeaks]

I like when you let everyone know of nice shortcuts (learnt a lot myself). So I thought maybe you should have let people know of Option (Alt) key for clipping...

[@Puckdh]

Hey i have a question. What is the name of the song you used for the intro? Please let me know. I love the tutorials!

[@daffy008]

As a dutchman I would like to know how to remover the shadow of mordor

[@Bunthoeurn]

Thank you for your sharing, Sir. It's really Helpful. :)

[@yashazare]

at the end you just gotta add one simple touch to make it just much more realistic
and that's to fade the fake sky's mask into the real image.
so you duplicate the cloud layer. change the layer type to "color" and with "refine edge" fade the mask into the main picture, so this way you can ignore both color diff and those edgy pixels on the roof and the trees.

[@nikonlay4173]

thank

[@ANANT60]

[@baryafe]

I really love it!!!!!

[@baryafe]

***** You're welocme!

[@Ndrums2]

Nice tutorial but why wouldn't you just choose a blending mode so the clouds show up on top of the original sky? I have seen so many of your tutorials that I try to guess what method you're gonna use before watching the video... It's awesome to see you doing the same things but using different ways to get the job done... :)

[@mr_dreamyaf]

Hey AARON... I am a huge fan of u n ur tutorials :D . Can I requst a tutorial on POLYGINAL PORTRAIT??

Hey Phlearn How to give "Avatar" effect to man/women's face in Photoshop

[@danahaddi1358]

Great !!!!
I have one question ! Do you still use wacom intuos 4 small? if not what model are you using right now ?
Thank you for your great tutorials :)

[@DirtHoleee]

He uses a Intuos Pro Small. I have one but don't get along with tablets I have learnt and so am thinking of selling mine.

[@user-oy1wp3ce7v]

DirtHoleee I will buy! How much?

[@AdamKarlsson]

This question is not about the video but I will buy a Wacom tablet but don't know if I should buy the small one or big one?
Does it work good with Wacom Intuos Pro Small or do I need the big one?
/Adam

[@MattHeere]

I bought the big one, and wish I'd bought the small. But it might just be "the grass is always greener." You can always zoom in on the photo to do precision work with the small one. You can't as easily change the size of your desk if the big one turns out to be unwieldy.

[@E-D-J]

PHLEARN HAS A TUTORIAL TOO ABOUT THE TABLET.

[@Ndrums2]

Matt Heere Comes to show that bigger isn't always better... I got the same one as Aaron after watching his video on the Intuos Pro Small... it's a perfect size... :)

[@LaurenceBakerAdobe]

Aaron, could this not have been done wholly with Curves using the individual colour channels?

[@LaurenceBakerAdobe]

***** Many thanks....to say I'm a fan of your tutorials would be an understatement. Please write a book!

[@ThatMFShawnzy]

You are a f*cking genius. Omg. Thanks. Subscribed.

[@amywilson9288]

I owe you guys my paycheck. I mean, I need it so you're not getting it...but, ya know...THANKS!

[@phlearn]

We accept compliments and nice thoughts as payment.

[@ThomasKlyhnChristensen]

I wish you would do a "proper" job of mask selecting. I think it's the biggest difference from a lot of people mocking things together quickly in PS, and people doing "proper" compositing in AE / NUKE / etc. On the right side for instance, the bushes still have a lot of the old background and colour and it looks sloppy. Anyway the idea is there I just think you could go a lot more hardcore on it, and maybe show how to finish the job fully. keep it up!
