PS not recognising all of the sky

[stephend88224726]

Hi All

Can anyone suggest why Photoshop is not recognising the section above the stone as sky?

I was hoping to do a sky replacement but PS only recognises the sky on each side, not in the middle.

It does exactly the same in RAW.

All the best

Weird. Anyway, try this:

1. Select subject and copy.

2. While still selected, fill it with black and de-select.

3. Perform sky replacement.

4. Command + Option (or Alt) + V. to place the copied stone directly over the black area.

Many thanks for this daniellei4510.

It worked - though still not quite sure why.

All the best

Me, neither. I was just throwing 'you know what at the wall' to see what stuck and I got lucky. 🙂

You should post this in the Photoshop forum. 
I just treid. First the Select / Sky and then added the middle with the "Quick Selection Tool". That worked fine.
