Gray sky? Make it golden

Golden Sky replaces the sky in your photo with a dramatic golden-hour sunset, then matches the light, color temperature and reflections of the rest of the scene so it all fits together. The rest of your photo stays as you shot it.

Before: the photo before Golden Sky
After: the Golden Sky look

Example: the Golden Sky recipe on an AI-generated model photo (not a real person), made with the same AI the app uses. Drag to compare. Your result depends on your photo.

Golden Sky: instant sunset. Golden Sky is made for photos where the sky let you down: a flat gray afternoon, a washed-out view, a street shot under a blank white sky. It replaces only the sky with a dramatic golden-hour sunset, then adjusts the lighting, color temperature and reflections in the rest of the scene to match, so windows, water and wet streets can pick up the glow. Buildings, people and everything else stay where they are; the recipe tells the AI to change nothing else. Use it for travel shots, city views or the outside of a shop or café.

What you get

  • The sky replaced with a dramatic golden-hour sunset
  • Lighting and color temperature matched to the new sky
  • Reflections matched, from windows to puddles
  • Everything else left as it is

FAQ

Golden Sky questions

Is the Golden Sky look free?

Yes, on the free plan: Golden Sky uses 1 of the 2 free AI credits you get every day. Pro gives you 80 credits a month instead, plus our best-quality AI, every look, no watermark and no ads.

Does Golden Sky change people in the photo?

Only the light on them is meant to change. The recipe replaces the sky and nothing else, but the warmer sunset light is matched across the whole scene, people included. To bathe yourself in golden light instead of changing the sky, try Golden Hour Glow.

Which photos suit Golden Sky?

Photos with a visible sky: landscapes, beaches, streets, rooftops and the front of a shop or café. When Aybuke sees a landscape or a city view, Ideas for this photo may suggest Golden Sky. Indoor photos without a window to the sky have nothing to replace.
