Default Help for Fake looking sky replacements
So, I know a sky replacement IS fake... but is there anyway to keep it from looking so fake?
I used this tutorial...

http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to/vi...toshop-153429/

His final result looks pretty good. Mine, however, look like a bad superimposed 70's tv show or something.

You'll probably get a beter response in the Post processing section so if you dont mind I'll move your post over there.
You might also want to consider adding the image you have a question on. It would help to suggest :"fixes" if we knew what to tell you

Hey, thanks for the move.

I was just messing around with sky replacements... this one was really blown out.
I dunno, this just looks... fake to me.
