How Do I Change the Color of the Sky in Photoshop?
STEP ONE: Open your image in Photoshop.STEP TWO: Select the sky with the Quick Selection Tool (W). If your sky is very big, you can use the Polygonal Lasso Tool (L) to make a more accurate selection. If you have problems making a selection around the sun or other objects, you can use the Refine Edge option.
STEP THREE: Go to Select > Modify > Expand, and enter 2px in the dialog box that appears. This will make sure that your selection includes a few pixels of the adjacent land or clouds.
STEP FOUR: Now go to Image > Adjustments > Replace Color.In the dialog box that appears, check "Selection" next to "Source." This tells Photoshop to only look at the pixels inside your selection when it tries to find a color to replace.
STEP FIVE: Adjust the Hue, Saturation, and Lightness values until you get a color you like. You can also play with the Fuzziness slider to refine your color selection. When you're happy with the result, click "OK."
TIPS:
- You can use this technique to change the color of anything in your image, not just the sky.
- If your image has more than one kind of sky (e.g., a blue sky in one part and a cloudy sky in another), you'll need to make separate selections for each kind of sky and change the color separately.
CONCLUSION:
With just a few quick steps, you can easily change the color of the sky in Photoshop!
