Course description
In Advanced Photoshop Compositing: Replacing the Sky, Kevin Carden takes you through one of the most transformative Photoshop skills — swapping out dull or blown-out skies for jaw-dropping, dramatic ones. Across a variety of real-world examples, you’ll practice replacing skies in landscapes, portraits, sports shots, and even desert Jeep scenes. Kevin walks you through each project step by step, explaining how to match light, color, and mood so your edits look seamless and not like a bad Instagram filter hack. You’ll explore technical tips for blending edges, balancing highlights, and adjusting reflections when needed. More importantly, you’ll build the confidence to know when a sky swap enhances a photo — and when it’s just overkill. This course sharpens your eye, strengthens your Photoshop muscle, and gives you a versatile skill that can rescue or elevate almost any image. By the end, you’ll never look at a boring sky the same way again.
