Let’s take the case of a bald featureless sky. Everything else is to your liking except the sky. A bald sky ruins an otherwise good photo. There are several ways to replace a bad sky in a photo but most of them are not easy to implement.
Enter Luminar 4 from Skylum. The current version of the software is known as Luminar 4.2. The program can be used as a stand-alone or as a plug-in to Photoshop or Lightroom. I am not going to get into the nitty-gritty of explaining the entire software and what all it can do and cannot do. I am going to show you how easy it is for anyone to replace a boring sky. Luminar allows you to use a pre-set sky (several of them are included) or you may use your own sky picture. It is a good idea to build a stock library of your own sky pictures. Take horizontal as well as vertical framed shots.
In this sky replacement article, I will use Luminar 4.2 as a plug-in to Photoshop and use one of the skies included with the program.
Open Photoshop. Open the Layers panel (F7). Open the photo on which you wish to replace the sky.
Make a copy of the Background layer by dragging the Background to the second icon from the right (where it says ‘Create a new layer’) at the bottom of the Layers panel. In the Layers panel, you will see that as a Background copy (Printscreen 1)
Go to Filer > Skylum Software > Luminar 4 (Printscreen 2)
Luminar will open (Printscreen 3 shows the opening box).
Once Luminar 4 has opened, you will see four vertical tabs on the right of the screen. The topmost one is highlighted. This is the Essentials tab (Printscreen 4).
