Adobe Photoshop is a great tool to improve your images. This software is a great way to rock the pictures you post on your Instagram account.

However, Photoshop is not for everyone, especially for those who don't have the basic knowledge to use the editing tool. But, there are still some tricks that even non-PSD users.

Replacing the sky in your photos is one of the simplest yet coolest ways you can do to improve your IG feed. It even got better since Photoshop now has an AI-powered sky replacement feature. To help you do that, here's a quick guide you can follow.

According to How to Geek's latest report, the first thing you need to do is to access the "Edit" option in your Photoshop then go to the "Sky Replacement" tab. This will bring you to the Sky Replacement tool.

Because of the AI or machine learning algorithms integrated into PSD, it is now easier to use this since most of the heavy editing is already done by the software.
You need to click the sky preview image to select the picture's sky. After that, the tool will ship about 25 default skies in three categories. These are Spectacular, Sunsets, and Blue Skies.

Since these options are default, they are already popular. This means that many editors and users are already posting pics with the sky categories.

If you want to make your photo unique, you need to create your own sky. You can do this by clicking the "Create New Sky" option, which is located at the bottom right of your screen. After that, you can choose any photo you downloaded or captured that will replace the sky in your image. To adjust the appearance of your image, click here.

Best alternatives for Photoshop

The latest Adobe Photoshop CC or Photoshop CS6 usually requires a monthly subscription. Some people don't want to spend money just to use an editing tool, except those who work as full-time editors or photographers.

Most people don't consider Photoshop as an essential daily tool. If you're one of them, here are some of the best alternatives you can use, as reported by Life Hack. Most of these apps and tools are free, but they don't provide the same editing features that PSD brings. Although that is the case, they can still edit your photos neatly.
