Great job adding the new sky...wish I was smart enough to do that. #8839575

Thanks a lot, Roxanne and Danny. That sky needed help, huh. :)
This sky was relatively easy to replace since the tones are so similar. After dragging the barn image onto the sky image, I selected the bland sky using Select > Color Range and deleted it. Instant new sky appears from the lower image!

Steve, beautiful, what program did you use to make this awesome image #8845966

Thank you, Rona and Stan. I have not seen the DD newsletter. Nice surprise! :)
I used CS4 for the basic editing and sky replacement, Stan. I also worked the tones, etc. in Nik Color Efex. I use both on virtually every image.
