Challenge: Add a Sky!

MattyB · 8th of May 2006 (Mon)

hey people, since my second HDD crashed, i don't have a full-res version of this shot, but i was wondering how hard it would be to add a properly exposed sky to this shot.

so if anyone can do it, post up and we'll see who wins

Scottes have made an excellent tutorial on how to do this.

Here is my take. The placement of the sun may not be accurate but I thought it looked cool non-the-less. It looks like he is trying to outrun the rain. About 3 minutes of PS work.

1. Open your file and a sky shot from my files.
2. Create a new layer on my pic.
3. Select you pic only and removed the frame.
4. Select the sky in your shot with Magic Wand.
5. Delete the selection.
6. Copy your car shot to new layer in my pic.
7. Save and show here.

If you need a sky to suit Melbourne's weather just paint it black.

Only joking.

Great effect with the chopper...even included the shadow. Nice work.

I'd add a nice sky for you, but I'd have to change your car to a Falcon FPV!

Was looking through these threads and found this one to be easy / fun.
