Photoshop Workbench 205: Fixing the Hairline Between a Replaced Sky and the Horizon

Happy Thanksgiving!
I’m eager to share today’s techniques with you, but I have news that is too thrilling to wait. I recently checked the Photography Uncapped website and discovered the following rumors (and I emphasize the word “rumors”) about Photoshop CS5: 1) The best guess at a release date is spring of 2010, 2) Here’s a glimpse of a few of the possible new features – remarkable new brush and paint technologies that simulate the look and feel of real pigments; multi-point warping technologies that allow for easy bending of shapes and lines independent of surrounding regions; and possible Content-Aware patching and filling methods that dramatically improve upon the current retouching tools. While you’re on the rumors page, be sure to check out Russell Brown’s Photoshop World Demo of new CS5 technologies and the Adobe Labs video on Content-Aware technology.
In other exciting news, I’ve unveiled a Photomatix Pro HDR software 15% discount. To order your copy, click the “Photomatix 15% Discount” link on the right side of this page. On the ensuing order page, enter the coupon code “MSJPhoto.”
In today’s Workbench, we’re going to explore a method for fixing the unattractive hairline that often occurs between a horizon and a replaced sky. Thank you to Dale Nichols for his submission of this fascinating Nebraska sod house photo.

Mark, thank you for posting this fantastic technique. I will have to put it to good use. I recognized this gem immediately, it is the sod house on Windlass Hill.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the mention of my article
Adobe Photoshop CS5 News Release Cost New Features
I have put together all the actual facts and details about Photoshop CS5 I can find, as stated and demo’ed by Adobe in-the-know engineers and higher-ups.
The only ‘conjecture’ (or ‘rumor’)is on the expected release date, which is drawn from things that the Adobe people have made public. I purposely don’t publish any of the other rumors and dirt out there.
You have some nice work here on your site.
Thanks again,
Ken
