Which brings me to the reason for this little video… Using these kinds of adjustments, I am able to more successfully match my new sky with my original scene in almost every case.
There’s even a slider to “re-light” the original scene so it’s more harmonious with the replacement sky. Differences in exposure and white balance between the original image and the new sky will make the composite image look fake to your viewers even if they can’t explain exactly why.įortunately, Luminar comes with some clever adjustments you can make in the Sky Replacement tool that give you the ability to modify the position, exposure, color temperature, and blur amount of the replaced sky so it blends in naturally with the existing image. The key to successful sky replacement is making sure that it looks realistic, natural, and true to the original scene in terms of exposure, color, and detail. The AI routine does a fantastic job of automatically masking the sky portions and allowing you to fill them with one of the built-in replacement skies that come with the program or even one of your own sky photos. But I have to say after using it for some time now, I am more than a little impressed with how well it works on the majority of images that call for sky replacement. I’ll admit I was skeptical when the feature was first introduced. As Skylum says in their advertising: “Results in seconds without manual editing!” It finds and masks off the sky areas automatically so you don’t have to spend hours in Photoshop with a brush and a magnifier painstakingly selecting the sky areas by hand and praying that you didn’t accidentally color outside the lines resulting in halos at the edges of your selections and a poorly blended replacement sky. It’s all fairly automatic.Īnd that’s the genius of this feature. Using an artificial intelligence algorithm, Luminar 4 can completely and believably replace the sky in your image without you ever having to use selections, masking, or layers.
One of the coolest features in Skylum’s Luminar 4 program is the ability to do something they call “AI Sky Replacement” which simplifies the process of swapping out a boring or poorly exposed sky for a more interesting or better exposed one. In this tutorial, I'm going to show you an easy shortcut for Sky Replacement with Reflections Using Luminar 4Īnd best of all, there’s NO HAND-MASKING REQUIRED!
