How to Isolate and Edit a Sky Using Photoshop

When it comes to landscape photography, the sky is a crucial part of almost every image and something that you will spend a good proportion of time working on in post. If you are looking to improve your sky edits a bit, this helpful video tutorial will show you both how to isolate and process them in Photoshop. 

Coming to you from Anthony Morganti, this awesome video tutorial will show you how to isolate and edit skies in Photoshop. A good sky edit can make a big difference in your viewer's perception of your image (whether landscape, outdoor portrait, or something else), but of course, just like any other edit, it can be easy to go a bit overboard and cross the line between vibrant and gaudy. A good trick I like to use is to finish an edit, then step away from my computer for a few minutes and come back with a fresh set of eyes to evaluate it one more time before I export. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Morganti.
