ddd Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I'm new to Paint.net and am struggling. I want to add a new sky to replace a washed out sky. On the main image I have selected the poor sky with the Magic Wand. Then I have copied a new sky image and tried to paste into selected area but all I get is a small rectangle of the new sky which does not fill the selected area. Grateful for any advice ,tips or refs. ddd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Could you post a picture please, we can help you much better than without one. Until then, you could try selecting the sky and using the Adjustments > Hue / Saturation and having a play around with the saturation as this might bring more colour to your sky. There are other methods but a picture would be helpful to determine which one.

david.atwell Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I've made a sky look better before. The best thing isn't to replace it, but to recolor it. Myrddin's method of recoloring is probably the best; you'll just want to boost the blue a little bit. Not too much, though; if you do, it'll look fantasy-esque and unreal. Also, if the picture was taken on a dreary day (rather than having just been a bad angle or something), you'll want to select everything but the sky and boost the saturation a little bit, as well as slightly boosting the red and yellow (more yellow). It'll make it look a lot nicer. Post a pic, and I'll see if I can help you further. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

ddd Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 Many thanks for your reply and suggestions. I will follow these up over the next day or two and let you know how I get on. I could not work out how to send the images as they are not on the internet. ddd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
