E&T - Photoshop Elements Sky Replacement


This is the second of a possible series of Education and Training (E&T) modules for the OPC.  The modules will include an artistic goal, a technical goal, detailed instructions and image files.  All modules are anticipated to be in the form of a PDF with links to image files stored on a cloud service.  

The artistic goal of this module is to replace a bland sky with a more attractive sky.  The technical goals are to become familiar with more advanced PSE features (adjustment layers and editing tools) and to identify challenges involved with editing photos (image pairing and mask complexity).
