I'm interested to hear if Luminar's catalog does include "plain" 
In the meantime, if you'd like to start a new topic here in PP Forum, post a problem photo with no editing done, and maybe one of our regulars can come up with a sky that matches your lighting and/or offer suggestions for editing if by "badly striped jpg" you mean banding.
Thanks!

Linda, I am not sure what you mean by plain.
There are some with lots of puffy clouds, dark skies. You can download a trial and see what they have. I do have a discount code if you are interested.

Your opinion is not out of fashion. Sometimes with some images the skies work. In some images they don't . I use my own skies when I replace them. I take lots of skies, label them from the location, and then I use my own skies.

Thanks to you, I am building quite the sky library too.
Sometimes when you travel many hours by plane and spend a lot of dollar$ on a trip to Australia.
Then you get there and it rains a few days leaving you with gray dingy skies in a lot of your prized photos.
Hey, if it's a once in a lifetime trip because I'm not ever going to sit on an airplane that long ever again if I can help it.
Well then, your photos become creative memories. In such cases, I embrace the creative, I change the sky out with something I find suitable.
However, what about adjusting exposure, contrast, WB, opacity, vibrance, clarity, saturation, dodge, burn, lighten shadows, darken shadows, brighten, darken, tint, spot healing, eraser, inserting texts, using filters, denoising, cropping, need I go on? When do you stop? You stop when the scene looks good to you.
Some times I tone the sky down when the sky is distracting from the subject of my pic. I recognize that huge cottonball clouds with polarized deep blue skys are not always the norm. It looks like we are on the same page for this subject.

Thanks Roni! I was replying to another respondent (see which quote reply I used earlier) who mentioned "plain vanilla" Linda, I am not sure what you mean by plain.

Apparently I have the out of fashion opinion that everything in your photo should be yours.
I agree. And Roni and others commented that they take photos of skies for the specific purpose of changing out ones of lesser interest or impact with one they actually took. As do I...

Yep, I have dozens of skies that I have taken just to use in the Sky Replacement for Luminar. I do not use the "canned" Luminar skies provided.
Therefore they are my skies!?
