Hi, I would like to change the sky in some of my pictures. I have various pictures of different types of sky, but I can`t figure out how to use them to replace the original.
Any help, please?

First you need to unlock the background layer (double click on the little pic on the layers palette and click ok) then select and delete the sky in it (you could use a layer mask depending on skill level) then open your sky image and with the move tool drag it on to your background (at this point it's covering the background) now with the move tool drag the little pic of the sky on the layers palette below the background layer pic and your sky should be behind the buildings or whatever.
A word of caution, work on a duplicate image (image/duplicate) then if things go wrong you havent spoiled your original.

Check out the tutorials the day with no sky, on this website for more details.
