      Hello All,

      I'd like to add beautiful blue sky and clouds to still image from SU animation. I don't have Piranesi. Can I import image to Photoshop and add sky/ clouds as a layer? What file format will preserve the best image resolution and color fidelity? Thanks in advance!

        You can do that, or you can add a watermark in the styles pallette of a sky photo.

          Thank you linea! Is there already a sky/ clouds image loaded (I have free SU 6) or do I need to snap a digital sky photo myself and put it in the styles library?

          Cheers,
          Jeff Olson

            Well if you search the net or flickr you can find loads of sky photos. Or you can make your own quickly using this free sky panorama generator, thanks to whoever it was here that told me about this. This is the only link I could find.

              Search for a sky dome in the warehouse, there are lots of them. You will need to fiddle with the transparency to let the sun in.

              Have fun, they work great
