Hi, if i don't like my sky, i just delete the old one and stick a new one in. It takes some time and you need to use another layer for the sky and in this case another layer for the reflection in the water. I then spend some time zoomed right in blending the land with the sky using erase, clone and heal.


Dude, that's freakin' awesome. I don't know how I feel about the practice in theory (I mean, it's far from capturing the scene you originally saw), but the end result is nice. I'd be interested in seeing a tutorial written up on something like that...

Thanks mate. I may find time for a tutorial during half term, i'm far to busy working full time and studying full time at the moment.

Another tip that can help....When you do the duplicate layer with multiply or whatever blending mode, you can also adjust the blending range. This way, you can limit the effect to not include the darker areas. This combined with a mask / erase / opacity adjustment can really help clean things up.
