Whether you like the concept of sky replacement or not, Luminar 4's AI Sky Replacement has revolutionized the process, producing amazing results in seconds. One issue I've encountered is, when you are choosing the replacement sky, Luminar provides a name for each sky, but not a preview. That's kind of frustrating, because choosing a sky becomes a trial-and-error process. Here's an easy workaround:

1. Find where Luminar stores it's skies. On my PC, they're stored at C:\Program Files\Skylum\Luminar 4\profiles\SkyTextures.

2. On your desktop, create a shortcut to Luminar's skies.

3. When you are selecting a sky in Luminar, instead of choosing one of the named skies, scroll to the bottom of the list, and choose "Load Custom Sky Image."

4. Find the shortcut to Luminar skies on your desktop. You will be presented with images of the skies, and you can choose the one you like directly. One more tip: When you see the previews, make sure "Extra Large Icons" is selected.

5. I have some skies I photographed and use in my photos, and I also created a link to them on the desktop, so it's easier to "shop" for a sky.
