1. Export the Image from Pixlr

In Pixlr, go to File > Save. Rename your file as something like, “Skybox_Panel.” 

2. Import your Skybox Images using the Asset Manager

At the top of your Asset Manager window, click the “Bulk import” button. Navigate to the Skybox panel you just downloaded and select it for import. 

3. Open up the Lighting Folder

This object in Roblox holds a lot of objects important to editing your environment - including the Sky!

4. Find the Sky object and view its Properties

The Sky object is a child of Lighting.

5. Upload your image into the Skybox Texture slots

Select each texture slot, and choose your Skybox image to replace it. 

As you do this, you should see the Sky changing in the Editor!

6. Scroll around in the Editor window to view it!
