This is often done by masking out the original sky and allowing the replacement sky to show through from the layer below. The most common use of a background sky is adding it as a background layer to replace the original sky in a photograph. The overlay files are high res and all have approximately a 6000 x 4000 pixel dimension to make them integrate better with images from modern digital sensors. The instruction sheet shows how to use these varying techniques. These fade images have the end of their filename changed to include the word, “fade”. In eleven instances the skies have been duplicated and a faded bottom has been added to make it easier to place them over another image and gradually transition into the sky.
In some cases the bottom of the image has been extended with a harmonizing tone that makes it easier to integrate the sky and/or the color into the scene.
This set of skies has been specially prepared to make them easier to use when adding them to another image in Photoshop. Of these, 6 are bonus images of frames, and 79 images in the actual Background Skies package. This set of overlays consists of 85 images.
