Hi everyone!

How do i select the white sky in this photo without selecting any of the tree or leaves? I know it can be done with the "selecting tool" but it takes forever to do every little but of sky.

There has to be an easier way?

If it helps I have photoshop 7.0 & CS3.

I would like to use a brush tool and put some blue sky between it...

Thanks in advance!

Hi there
I'd suggest making a rough selection of the sky area with the lasso tool with a little feathering applied to the selection. Then go ahead and choose the colour range command from the select menu. Set a few base colours (namely the white in the sky) and adjust the fuzziness accordingly.
Hope this helps
