The Tree & Sky selection tool is available once you have dragged in both Tree and Sky labels.
The tool is used to automatically find and label areas of the image as either tree or sky. If you drag or “scribble” over a complex area where trees are silhouetted against the sky, the trees will be automatically labeled tree and the sky automatically labeled sky. The area it looks for tree and sky in is determined automatically, but it will tend to search in larger areas if you are scribbling quickly.
It is important to have good sky selections if you are making dramatic changes to the sky.
Tips: If you want to isolate a tree from a different kind of background, try using the Smart Brush.
If a tree is on a background that isn’t sky, can I select the tree in a similar manner?
The smart brush is the most similar tool that can be used for selecting diffuse objects like trees easily. It can be done easier against a sky than other backgrounds, which is why there is a special tool for just that.
