Straight out of the editor, unretouched — slide the handle to see the change.
The sky is the one part of a photo you truly cannot schedule. You get one afternoon at the lighthouse and the weather issues a flat white ceiling; the house goes on the market during the grayest week of March; the mountain vista of a lifetime arrives with haze. Cameras make it worse, routinely blowing bright skies into blank nothing even when the day had some drama.
Pick a replacement from fourteen skies — from believable (clear blue, fluffy clouds, golden hour) to theatrical (thunderstorm, northern lights, the Milky Way) — and the AI masks the old sky along treelines, rooflines, and hair, installs the new one, and then does the step that sells it: relighting the ground to match. A sunset sky casts warm light on the scene below it; a storm sky cools and dims it; a night sky darkens the world appropriately.
Real estate photos jump a tier with a clear blue or twilight sky; travel photos get back the evening the weather owed them; and the night skies turn backyard photos into postcards from a bolder trip. For moving the entire scene's clock rather than its ceiling, Time of Day is the companion tool.

Frequently asked questions
Why do amateur sky swaps look fake and this doesn't?
Because pasting a sky is the easy half. If the ground keeps its old flat-gray lighting under a blazing sunset, the eye rejects it instantly — so this tool relights the scene to agree with the new sky, which is where the realism lives.
Which skies suit real estate listings?
Clear Blue and Fluffy White Clouds are the listing standards; Twilight Blue Hour is the premium look for exterior hero shots. Pair with the Real Estate Photo Editor for the full treatment.
Does it handle trees and complex horizons?
The mask follows branches, rooflines, wires, and hair rather than a straight horizon cut. Zoom into the treeline on the result — clean sky between branches is the sign of a good pass.
