In this Photoshop video tutorial Bob “The Miz” Mizerek shows how we can replace skies and clouds in our photos quickly and easily.  There are a lot of methods to doing this, as I have posted earlier.  That is the beauty of post processing – it’s similar to programming or web development, where there are 100 ways of doing anything.  You just need to stick to what works best for you.  It still never hurts to pick up a few pointers on how to do something a different way, because you never know; you might just find the new way faster or easier.  This video shows how to use the “blend if” or the blending if option.

Blown out skies ruin a lot of good photos – don’t worry, they’re very easy to fix in Photoshop in under 5 minutes.
