Sky Images

I would like to have a supply of skies to add to photos and would be grateful if anyone can direct me to a website where these can be downloaded: I have found some where this can be done - but at a high charge - I'm looking for freebies or inexpensive downloads!!!

If you have a digital camera, why not build your own collection?

Unfortunately I am looking for sunny blue skies/blue skies with clouds and here in the UK February is not a good time of the year for creating my own library: I will do so later in the year.

So far as the mechanics of changing skies are concerned, I am using a trial version of Paintshop Pro 9.0 and this enables a new sky to be COPIED AND PASTED, making the process very simple - no need for layers.

What I still find tricky though is adding a new sky to a photo where this has to be done in instalments as various items sometimes preclude selection in one stroke: unlkess the type of sky is carefully chosen the 'repeat' can be spotted!
