To get a realistic color for the sky, we're going to open another photo that already has a

the image, switch to the Eyedropper tool
(I)
, and click once on the brightest blue area in the
image (as shown here) to make that your Foreground color. Now, press the letter
X
to swap
your Foreground and Background colors, then click the Eyedropper on the darkest blue in
the photo (higher in the sky), so that now your Foreground is a darker blue, and your Back-
ground is a lighter blue.
