Hi Experts! I have a beautiful photo of a hawk that has a washed out background because of exposure correction. I want to add blue sky behind the hawk to complete the photo.
Does anyone know of a tutorial anywhere I can learn to do this? I have tried adding a mask to the back ground and the reverse but they are not very good and my skills are very limited at this point. Any direction would be very much appreciated
