Re: Denbigh Hospital
Excellent again.
This particular sky effect you have used is the best by far in the armoury of sky effects in SPE. What I love about it is that it seems to fade at the bottom so getting a realistic border between the original (bottom) part and the sky is so easy. The only problem is everyone is using it. I've dabbled with creating effects but have not become competent. It would be great if someone could add other similarly behaved sky effects. I don't think its a simple question of editing the existing effect and, for example, replacing the sky with one of your own - I've had a go at that. It may be that the original sky photo graduates to transparent at the bottom.

To be Honest I did not know you could create your own sky, how does that happen

Re: Denbigh Hospital
After you do the sky gallery effect you can add another gallery effect on top of it to vary how it looks, sometimes you must do a lot of layers to change it. Plus adjusting your slider can vary that layers effect.

Cowboyo,
I guess you could create your own sky effect from scratch but I've simply edited an existing sky effect and used my own sky photo. This is roughly (!) how I did it.
- Open your photo in SPE as normal.
- Select Area and choose Sky.
- Confirm Selection and Browse Effects (left side).
- Select any sky effect. Note you will find some easier to edit (see below) than others depending upon how complex the author made it. Just try various ones).
- Now select OK on the left.
You now have a sky effect applied as normal so none of the above should be new to you. I am using New Sky 1 here....
- Now right click the effect at top right (the image, not the mask) and select Manual Edit.
- In window that pops up delete the box that says Internet Image (or similar) by clicking on box and pressing delete. But remember where it links to.
- Now select Add Image just above the 'map' and select your own sky image off your hard drive. A new box plus a scale box appears on the map.
- Link the new box to where the deleted box linked to.
- Use various sliders available to change size, opacity etc.
- In Top Left of the sky you will see a circle. This enables you to drag the sky and position it better but it's not a good control. Better than nothing.
I find you need to mess around a lot to get this to work and it varies from sky effect to sky effect. It would be great if there was an effect called 'Use Your Own Sky' which was simple to use.

Hi Richard,
To quickly add your own sky:
Add it as an "Underlay" using the Composite tool.
Let me know if you need more instructions.
Kind regards
Tony

Re: Denbigh Hospital
Now why didn't I think of this? Why do anything simply when you can do it in a more complicated manner
