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?

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?
