Blue Sky Replacement (New River Gorge National Park & Preserve)
An idea for something I’d come across recently in reading new features with Photoshop CC. This feature being the option to replace skies captured in an image with a set of blue skies. The image captured here was on the Fayette Station Bridge with a view looking to the south with a hillside of trees. My thinking in composing this image was to capture a portion of the steel structures of the bridge and have the trees as the backdrop to complement the setting. I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation while playing around as I learned how to work with DxO PhotoLab 4. I then exported a TIFF image to Photoshop CC to make the sky replacement. I later worked in Nik Color Efex Pro 4 where I added a Polarization and Foliage filter for that last effect on the image captured.
