If you want to regain a little more control over your edits instead of handing control over to the ubiquitous AI, this is a great method to improve the really boring sky in Photoshop.
Can you imagine if you had learned and perfected your film development skills in a darkroom? Skills that once set you apart from your peers and gave you a huge advantage in creating work like no other are now obsolete, if not completely obsolete. That happened as digital photography took hold and software like Photoshop became the new darkroom. Alas, here we are in 2022, and with the rapid development of AI, it seems that people (like me) who have spent thousands of hours honing their digital editing skills must too. face the very real threat of becoming irrelevant in the eyes of many. However, as long as there are editing platforms in place, it is always valuable to understand how to maximize their potential.
And that brings us to this amazing video by Anthony Morganti, in which he walks you through the process of improving a very bland, boring sky. The keyword here is “advanced”, because Morganti doesn’t replace the sky using AI or any kind of synthetic method. Instead, he works with the original sky in his image and transforms it from something completely unremarkable to something with real life and passion. Along the way, he shows you some cool selection techniques and how to use the very powerful Blend If tool.
