Is there a photo printer that you'd recommend for the occasional home printing use? I am calibrated with my lab but am needing to replace my home printer and wondered if you have one that you prefer. Thanks!

It’s Amazon Prime Day and I thought I might look at replacing my monitor. What are your thoughts on this one? https://www.amazon.com/Dell-S2722QC-Response-Integrated-Speakers/dp/B09DTDRJWP/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=1C56TVNMD96RZ&keywords=dell+u2722d&qid=1689082567&s=electronics&sprefix=Dell+u272%2Celectronics%2C170&sr=1-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1 Thank you!

Much better than my first attempt before asking for help....

I think this is pretty good. They sky might need to be blurred some...

It looks amazing! I'm going to download and see if I can walk through your steps. I was actually trying to follow this method AFTER I posted my question for help. Maybe I need to go back to the layers class......:( Thanks! You are the best!

Yes, it was a very overcast day. I need to get out and shoot some sky images - I thought I could use this and stretch it to fill the sky in my other image. I'm mainly trying to learn the technique.

I have another image with a decent sky that I'd like to add to this one. I am having trouble masking it in around the trees seamlessly. I edit in elements but am considering trying to retrain my brain to edit in photoshop if there is any benefit to doing so. Suggestions?
