2. Click on AI Sky Replacement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Click on Sky Selection. You have an option to select preset sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. This is the result of selecting Blue Sky 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. You have many options to adjust\nthe image.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Horizon Blending – Move this to\nthe right to add a more gradual gradient between the sky and the rest of the\nimage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Horizon Position – Allow you move the sky horizon up or down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Relight Scene – adjusts the tone and warmth of the image to give a more balanced and natural blend between your original image and the new sky.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Sky Global – pertains to\nspreading texture across the horizon if, for example, the sky does not fit the\nhorizon properly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Close Gaps –\nslider fixes small details and holes that were not filled by the replaced sky\ninitially (a common example is trees and between branches, leaves).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Sky Local – the texture of the sky may not completely overlap with the original clouds and this slider is designed to correct it. In most cases, you don\u2019t need it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Sky Defocus \u2013 adjust the sky look out of focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Flip Sky \u2013 check this option the sky is flipped on its vertical axis. A good example is flipping the sun to the right or left of the frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Sky Temperature and Exposure –\nthis will allow you to fine tune the tone of your new sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. You can select a sky by loading\nan image from your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
