hello all, have a question with regard to making selections that are very fine. what i'm trying to do is take the sky out of some of my pictures to replace with a CG sky. that's not a problem with some of my architectural photos but some have trees, power lines and other really small objects in them. i've tried the magic wand and magnetic lasso but both of them miss a lot of the smaller details. what would be the best way of going about this? thank you in advance for your time and any assistance!!! attached is an example. i was going to each individual section in the power line tower and was taking forever and a day to get. you can see what i'm talking about, the dull blue sections are where the old sky was. regards, eb
