patch tool to soften existing sky to sky replacement
Answered
hello,
textures or contrasty clouds go through the sky replacement.
In photoshop, we just need to use patch tool and copy a adjacent soft part of sky on the textured part.
very easy. eraser doesn't do that task in a good way.
Can you develop a patch tool ?
already mentioned but blur filters are really missing in Luminar 4 which requires to use competitor softwares to make these basic retouching. a nonsense.
the defocusing slider in sky replacement panel helps but is not as nice as a motion blur in photoshop. I speak here in general for blur tools, not only for sky.
best regards

Thank you Angela,
As mentioned before, I have the feeling you are using blend mode, not a true selection+replacement, which explians why original texture, trees,... of sky go through the new sky.
In the meantime can you please make a youtube tuto explaining how to clean a little bit
the original sky to prepare it for sky replacement ?
I suppose it is advised to make a separate adjustment layer for the sky (currently i do it in same layer than other filters) and use erase tool ?
best regards

hello,
I have found an interesting tuto from Morganti where he shows the problem of horizon in custom skies.

I had same problem. in photoshop we don't use a mask to remove blotches because it removes the tone of the texture/sky but use a gaussian blur on texture.
Blur tools in luminar are really missing ! But here it should be inside the edit mask tools section ( akind of blur brush ?) because not sure Luinar would allow to apply a gaussina blur to a "sky" filter.
