Hi. I'm having trouble importing my own sky photo files. I keep getting the message 'could not complete your request because no sky was detected'. I've looked online but have not yet found a fix. Very frustrating, wasting hours. I'm up to date version wise on both ps and mac. Ideas more than welcome. Thanks.

An alternative workflow would be to just add your textures to your library and use select sky under the select menu. Then just use the selection to create a mask on your texture layer. No more fussing with the replace sky.

Good idea Melissa, but I tried to add the textures in question to my library but was unable to save them all, weird I know. The latest update of ps (23.3) apparently improves sky replacement. Might be worth a go, currently updating.

Thanks!

Did you drag and drop layers? You definately shouldn't have problems adding the textures to your library as images. If you continue to have issues, reset your prefernces.

Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible and provide a clearer description of what exactly you are doing?

Is the problem the loading of your own sky photographs or of applying them to an image?

Thanks for the prompt reply.

It's both importing and applying my own sky image (png) on my hard drive to a photograph. I click the '+' to choose my own image and I locate desired file, click ok and then get the message 'could not complete your request because no sky was detected'. Ends there. I even tried locating the sky presets folder and adding desired files manually so they'd be available together with PS provided sky options, no luck.

In the first screenshot a white Background Layer is selected and the other Layer is a Smart Object.
