Sky replacement in PS 2021 - loading multiple skies

[Ibby1946]

I can load individual skies but as I have 200+ how can I load all at one time without doing it individually.

if that command does not accept loading multiple files , then you have no other choices.

Only a single image can be loaded at the moment, but the programmers are working on it.

Good news Marianne but this should have been launched with the feature.  Real photographers neither want to or in many cases are not allowed to use even free skies shot by others.  Most, if not all competitions and salons etc require all the work even if a composite to be by the submitting author.  A one-at-a-time is OK for newbies but I also have hundreds of skies to import.  Let us hope the 'A' team of programmers are on the case?

Perhaps an estimate of when the final or a beta is avaialble to test?

Hi @AnOpticalView 

You can add your thoughts to this thread on the feedback forum that is followed by the product developers:

https://feedback.photoshop.com/conversations/photoshop/photoshop-sky-replacement-ability-to-select-l...

@J453 says in that thread,

"Currently it's not possible to load multiple files at a time. It's a bug that you can select multiple. The team would like to enable the ability to load multiple presets or load from Libraries, etc."

As to a timeline, we will find out when Adobe makes the announcement.

I'm searching the location of the folder or map where the skies are kept. 

[SylvieZPhotography]

There is the folder:

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2021\Presets\Skies

[Ibby1946]

Hi, Any idea were the skies are on Mac?

[TheEngeline]

For Mac go to your Library folder > Application support > Adobe Photoshop 2021 > Presets > Skies

I was also looking for a way to upload many at the same time and found this thread. 

[TheEngeline]

I uploaded my skies (dng) but they didn't show up in the selection sadly. Not even after a Photoshop restart. Tried putting them in folders and out of separate folders. Has another mac user had any luck? I thought finding the folder would mean instant succes.

Thank you Marianne..

You can add them to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2021\Required\Sky_Presets. Seem to be working for me.

I have the same problem as The Engeline et al.  Have to upload hundreds of sky images.  The time-consuming laboriousness of the process is extremely aggravating!  Further, trying to manage the images once they're imported is nearly impossible.  I wonder if this component was imported from Elements 4 or something.  Not for professional usage!
