HI Ingrid
I'm not an expert on this (or any other process in Photoshop) however this works for me, maybe you will find more precise information on the web.
For me, the Photoshop Sky replacement usually does a good job but does need a lot of adjustment of the sliders and also the drop-down, Foreground Adjustments, to get it to my vision.
However, if it's for a competition we can only use our own images, usually when I'm out I will snap a few pure sky shots, and other textures to store. But that means the lighting conditions and capture settings are different and perhaps a different camera.
I open the main image and the sky image side by side, then use matchcolour on the sky image.
Image > Adjustment > Match colour.
In the drop-down box choose the source, typically the main image, other categories will appear if they are open.
Typically, the initial view is horrible, I Tick the neutralise box and move the fade to halfway. At that stage, I then experiment with the sliders to get to my starting point. Obviously, then move the sky image to the main image and apply the sky mask.
Hope you get something from this.

Hi Erin, first off is congratulations for your image selected in the Digital Dialogue Members Showcase, well deserved.
This image, I like your choices in processing to bring the viewer to the catcher immediately, the mono choice eliminates the distraction of the bright colours, the shallow depth of field works extremely well.
Well caught and processed image |

Hi Kamal. Well captured environmental portrait of the camel and the camel master, leaves no doubt as to what is going on in the scene. I Particularly like the positioning of the camel master in the frame with the viewer's eye immediately drawn to his face and turban then allowing the viewer to wander down to the camel's very sharp eye and then back to the camel master's hand holding the implement, classic triangle composition.
A minor suggestion might be to eliminate the wires in the background, and to tone down or blur the person in the white shirt in the background, he is a little bit distracting. Will scene and captured |

Hi Ingrid, very much a spectacular formation and a nice point of view, given you do not have very much time to compose a shot while driving. I agree with Darcy and Greg on the sky artefacts and particularly Greg's point of the light direction. I am uncomfortable with the sky itself overall, and often when I do a sky replacement I try to colour-match the sky image with the base image before I place the sky in. A few extra steps are involved in this but to my eye it gives a more pleasing view. Particularly if I have taken the sky with a different camera or I have taken the sky under very different lighting conditions. looks like a great area to explore, |

Hi Karen how could you not bypass this scene without trying to capture it. To me the black-and-white works extremely well with the various luminosity values well represented throughout the image, The triangles as the bottom frame assist in leading the viewer into the image with the geometric pattern leading the viewer's eye right to the bottom of the image and the contrasting tiles on the floor. A few areas of reflection on the rails might be burnt out but not enough to detract. I particularly like the stairs themselves appearing to give a soft translucent look or watery flowing soft look. |

Hi Greg. It is interesting to try different approaches in our artistic endeavours. Interesting result depicting textures of the background canvas and giving a new painterly look to the photograph without losing the impact of the original scene. I particularly prefer the final image over the original 2 |

Beautiful image and very well processed. Detail in all areas well balanced and particularly well handled in the snow, often difficult to handle, tonal range is very well handled. As a minor suggestion, select a section of the wall and increase the luminosity to make that a feature, perhaps the window, I think the image just needs a focal point. Brilliant image well captured and processed, I would be happy to have this in my portfolio |
