Great tut! I had a picture of a bald eagle in flight with a blown out sky. I tried replacing the sky using selection tools, but, not only was it tedious, but it didn’t look so good. This was much, much easier and came out better. Thanks!

Not only is this a great tutorial, but the step-by-step screen-captures really amplify and clarify exactly what Wendy is “saying”. Thanks so much.

HELP!
I’ve gone over this several times and must be doing something wrong. I’m at point seven, ready to paint and nothing happens. What else can I tell you that might give you some idea as to where I’ve gone wrong? Thanks Alex
