I really dig all of Dylan´s tutorials!
He is fabulous, on the practical level, in terms of ON1 knowledge, but also in terms of image aesthetics! A real valuable and rare blend!
Then, seeing this, and thinking of ON1: it is a great tool!
I wish, though, that there would be some weaving in of image ethics, as it is all about photography, and that come with responsibilities.
While, e.g., I love the ease with which skies can be swapped as if the user is a demiurg or terraformer en miniature, I think there should be an ethics badge attached to this. All this is where one leaves the field of – some kind – of truthful representation of an encountered scene (‘photography’), and enters the field of freeform image fabrication (with all its load of ‘outright’ manipulation).
This should at least be flagged, thematized somehow in the context of ‘photography tools’, IMHO.

This is the first time I’m see this tutorial. I think people have their own set of ethics they follow. Not sure it’s up to ON1 to point this out. I mean, it’s so obviously a manipulation tool in many ways. People know this, I believe. Same for any photo editor. For me, I’ve not done many sky swaps simply because most of my photography best pieces go to stock photo websites or contests. But I won’t hesitate to swap out a poor sky on a less liked photo with a great sky photo I’ve taken to print out for my own home or for a friend or relative. AND I tell them it’s swapped. Usually I get, “oh that’s cool you can do that”. I only use those I’ve taken, however. I stop at “buying” skies to use in my photos.
I don’t think I’m better than anyone who uses bought skies. I just like to use my own. Same with backgrounds and textures. It’s just how I work. Simple as that.
