with Kendall Plant

Give a landscape a whole new vibe – fast – with this tip from creative director Kendall Plant.
Use the Rectangular Marquee tool to make a rough selection around the sky. Then press Control+C (Windows) or Command+C (macOS) to copy it. Then create a new file (File > New) and use Control+V or Command+V to paste the layer.

An action includes a series of changes that can be made to an image with the click of a button. With the pasted sky layer selected, open the Actions panel (Window > Actions) and click the flyout menu. Choose the Star Trails Rotation action from the Stars Trails folder and click Play. Then save the file to your device as a JPEG.

Return to the original image and choose Edit > Sky Replacement. Click the Sky thumbnail and then click the + button to import the sky image file you just saved.

Adjust the settings to finesse the results and click OK. Now that you have your new sky, you can use it in other compositions too.
