Sky replacement was introduced in Photoshop 22, as was said earlier in this thread. It is not in 2020.

Updates are included in your Creative Cloud subscription.

My issue turned out to be that I had a previous file I was working on already open in Photoshop. I had checked everything else, the simple solution was to save my work and restart. The sky replacement then was back.

To find it: quit all PS CC, and do not use your existing icon. Go to task manager and Stop CC. Then Go online to Creative Cloud Desktop and launch <OPEN> from the button to the right of the PS Icon. Delete your old icons and make a new one. This worked for me after one hour of bad online answers.

Weird, That worked for me.

RGB is the working color mode for Photoshop. When you choose other color modes (i.e., CMYK, Grayscale) you will notice that some commands are no longer available. The Sky Replacement command works in RGB mode.

Unavailable commands when not in RGB mode are most obvious in the Filter menu (but happens throughout the application).

RGB Color Mode. All filters are available.

Same image after converting to CMYK. Multiple filters are no longer available.

Mine didn't work either, until I changed my photo mode from CMYK to RGB, then Sky Replacement appeared!

My photo is already in RGB - but the option is not showing up. I've used it within the last 3 months, and haven't updated, so where can it suddenly have disappeared to?

Hi, my PS version is 21.2.10 release and the sky replacement doesn't show up. I checked check Edit > Menus > Application Menus > Edit. but also there the sky replacement line doesn't appear. What can be the problem?

Hi

Sky replacement is new in v. 22 and is not available in older versions, including v. 21. You need to update to see sky replacement.

You may have multiple versions installed. Try opening Photoshop from the Creative Cloud app. If it makes a new icon in your Dock or Taskbar, right-click it to add it. The old icon will open the old version.

Hi @Katy5CEA :

What version of Photoshop are you using? It is only visible in the Edit menu in Photoshop 2021 (v 22).

It will only be available to select if your color mode is RGB.
