For example, learning to use a tablet can take time. A Wacom tablet is one of the best investments a digital photographer can make but you need to make a concerted effort to get the hang of it. It's not as natural or intuitive as you might think. I know you're trying to learn PS CS4 ad PSE so throwing Topaz ReMask into the mix will make your learning curve even even steeper. I demo a sky replacement technique in my Photoshoot Workshops where I teach PSE between the morning and afternoon shoots. Adding an object is very similar to changing the sky so you should be able to adapt a sky tutorial to do that. The internet is full of sky replacement tutorials, just do a quick Google search. HTH (hope that helps) Lee Bottom line, don't take on so much that you're overwhelmed. Decide what's most important and work on that first. Hi Lauralee,

Bottom line, don’t take on so much that you’re overwhelmed. Decide what’s most important and work on that first.

What a plethora of information. I'm like a little kid in a candy store. Your PDF files are especially helpful since I can print the articles for easy reference. After watching one of your Topaz Remask videos I've now got a Wacom tablet on my wish list. Do you have a video on how to replace the background with another color, or different sky. What about adding a bird to a lonely fence? Lauralee Hi Lee,
