Ridge, gable and gutter edges stay crisp against the new sky, with no bright halo where the roof meets it.
The tree canopy at the frame edge is matted against the new sky rather than smeared into it, the hardest edge in the picture.

What Sky Replacement does.

An overcast sky flattens an exterior: grey light, no shadows, a white void where the sky should be. Rescheduling a shoot for weather costs more than the listing usually allows.

Sky replacement swaps in a clean blue or soft gradient sky, blended with respect for rooflines, chimneys, and tree canopy. It also grades the house to match, so the light direction stays believable. It runs automatically on HDR Merge orders.

How it works

On the rail, under your hand.

  1. 1

    Upload the exteriors

    The Studio's Shoots page, with the Services dock and a new shoot ready to start

    Any daylight exterior, however grey.

  2. 2

    Pick blue or golden

    The Studio editor: the tool rail, the Services dock, a living room on the canvas and the filmstrip of finals

    Clean blue for standard sets, soft gradients for warmer looks.

    Marked: the tool rail.

  3. 3

    Graded exteriors back

    The phone app's ready screen: the shoot's finished photos, with HDR Merge and Virtual Twilight counted

    Sky and facade graded together, edges intact around rooflines and trees.

Shoot in any weather

The schedule stops depending on the forecast. Grey-day exteriors become usable hero shots.

Edges that survive zooming

Roof lines, gutters, and tree canopy stay crisp, with no smudged halo where sky meets structure.

The house gets graded too

A sunny sky over a gloomy facade is the tell. We match the light temperature on the building, not just the backdrop.

Batch the whole exterior set

Front, back, and aerials done together so every outdoor frame agrees on the weather.

Questions

Good questions.

Is sky replacement acceptable for MLS photos?

It's one of the most common listing-photo edits and broadly treated as standard enhancement, since it changes the weather, not the property. Boards vary, so check your local MLS rules if in doubt.

What about photos where the sky reflects in windows?

Strong window reflections get graded toward the new sky so the frame stays coherent. It's part of why we grade the whole image rather than pasting a backdrop.

Can you do dramatic sunset skies?

For full golden-hour looks with glowing windows, use Virtual Twilight. Sky replacement is for making daytime frames look like the day you wanted.
