Bad Hair Day

[Grandpaw]

I selected your picture and opened it up in PhotoShop

Go to select menu and click on color range

put eye dropper on section of sky and adjust fuzziness and range to get the parts you want to replace and click OK. This will show you the area you will be working with

pull up another picture with a sky that you like

Click on the clone tool and get some of the sky you want to use

go back to you first picture and move your pointer across the original picture to replace the sky

make adjustments such as contrast, color, brightness or whatever else you want so it will go with the original and then save it.

I'm sure there are better ways to do this by someone with more experience but this is how I did it. On nice pretty days when the sky looks great I take pictures of just the sky and clouds with nothing else in the photo so when something like this comes up I can go to my file marked "clouds" and pick the type of sky I would like to have to replace the bad one.

Obviously the more time and care you take the better the end results will be. I didn't spend much time on my example. Hope this gives you some idea how I did it. If you have any questions I may help answer please ask, Jeff
