hi,
short answer is yes......
myself I just replace the whole sky with a new sky, I even got a website bookmakred that has just cloud pictures.. smiling...
there several techniques and tools you can use to do this and it depends alot on the picture which one maybe the best and or the easiest....
in all of these you would put your prefered cloud picture on a seperate layer..
and there tutorials galore..
1. use channel masking.. this works real nice there alot of details involved like a tree in the middle of the sky...

2. you can use your magic wand t select the sky and then delete it....
3. the eraser tool
4. use your extract tool... http://ilike2photoshop.blogspot.com/2008/05/remove-background-from-image-using.html
just a couple of the meathods...

I did find a way to add clouds using filters but was very time consuming brushing away all the areas where I did not want clouds. Can anyone steer me in the right direction? |
