Skies, done right

Sky Replacement

A sky that matches the light on the house.

Replace a flat or overcast sky with one matched to the scene, masked cleanly through trees and rooflines, with the light on the house harmonised to it.

What Sky Replacement does

Flat sky gone

Overcast and washed-out replaced

Branches intact

Masks through trees, aerials, rooflines

Light matches

House lit by the new sky, not the old

How it works

  1. Matte the boundary

    Pixel-level alpha, not a hard cut

  2. Generate the sky

    Matched to the scene and light

  3. Harmonise the light

    Colour transferred into the highlights

FAQs

Where do the skies come from?

They're made to fit each photo, not pasted from a fixed set.

Does it work around trees and wires?

Yes. It cuts cleanly around them.

Can I pick the sky?

Yes. Choose clear, wispy cloud, or a few clouds.
