What it does

How it behaves

Not a composite. The model relights the scene to match the new sky, adjusting lighting, shadows and reflections across the whole photograph rather than pasting a new sky above the roofline.

  • Relights the scene instead of compositing a sky on top
  • Adjusts shadows and reflections to match the new light
  • Six skies, from clear blue to twilight
  • Up to 4K output on Pro quality

Good to know

The watermark, and what a run costs

Output is watermarked by default and free to try — you pay only Replicate for the generation, on your own API token. To get clean images, pass a token in the optional watermark_remove_token field. Tokens are $100 a month for 1,000 images.

Typical uses

  • Exterior shoots that landed on an overcast day
