Use my own sky photos

Hi,
Is it possible to use my own sky photos in effects to replace skies or is this done through the compositing tool please?
Thanks
Damien

Both ways will work.

You can use the compositing tool or you can create your own effect with you own sky image. An easy way of doing this is to replace the sky image in an existing effect.

Open an image
Use the Select Area tool to select the sky. Confirm the selection and browse effects.
Select a sky effect and apply it
Right-click on the icon for the effect at the top right of the screen. Select Manual Edit.
In the effect editor, upload the sky image that you want and use it instead of the sky image that is included in the effect.
Try different effects, some are more simply made than others and the sky image is easier to replace
When you are done you can "publish" the effect to your local computer where you can re-use it. You can also choose to share the effect with the community

Good luck!
