It\u2019s a common problem for enthusiasts who don\u2019t have the luxury of being able to wait for the perfect weather conditions. Even photographs taken on a \u2018good day\u2019 when the sky is clear blue can lack impact.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that digital technology enables us to strip out a featureless sky and replace it with something a bit more interesting. The bad news is that it\u2019s a skilled job, which when done manually, can take hours of painstaking work. Fortunately, the unique technology in Skylum\u2019s Luminar 4, which makes use of artificial intelligence (AI), means anyone can do the job in seconds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Getting Started with Luminar 4<br \/>\n<\/strong>Luminar 4 works as a standalone image editing package and as a plug-in for software such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Lightroom Classic. That makes it incredibly flexible and you can use Luminar 4 to do all of your editing, or if you prefer, you can use an Adobe package for some aspects and use Luminar to do the heavy lifting with tricky tasks such as replacing a lacklustre sky.<\/p>\n<p>Luminar uses your computer\u2019s folder structure, which makes it easy to locate and select an image when you\u2019re using it as a standalone package. Once you\u2019ve selected an image in the Library view, it\u2019s simply a case of clicking on the \u2018Edit\u2019 tab to get access to the editing tools.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-136150\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Getting-started-with-Luminar-4.jpg\" alt=\"Getting-started-with-Luminar-4\" width=\"1400\" height=\"744\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/04\/Getting-started-with-Luminar-4.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/04\/Getting-started-with-Luminar-4.jpg?resize=300,159 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/04\/Getting-started-with-Luminar-4.jpg?resize=630,335 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/04\/Getting-started-with-Luminar-4.jpg?resize=1240,659 1240w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/04\/Getting-started-with-Luminar-4.jpg?resize=900,478 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/04\/Getting-started-with-Luminar-4.jpg?resize=562,299 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/>\n<p><strong>How to use Luminar 4\u2019s AI Sky Replacement<br \/>\n<\/strong>Luminar 4 makes it incredibly easy to replace a dull, boring sky, in fact you need little or no experience of image editing.

Moving the slider to the right reveals more of the original sky whereas moving it to the left gives a harder transition. It\u2019s helpful for creating a seamless transition into the landscape and recreating the lightening that\u2019s often visible in the sky near the horizon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Horizon Position<br \/>\n<\/strong>Luminar automatically detects the horizon in the original image and aligns the new sky appropriately, but this tool lets you shift the sky up and down if necessary. Slide to the right to move the horizon up or left to move it down. It can be useful for moving the clouds or shafts of light to where you want them relative to the horizon, enabling you to produce the perfect image from a shot taken in less than perfect conditions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Relight Scene<br \/>\n<\/strong>Luminar automatically adjusts the image so that the exposure and white balance of the sky and landscape match, however, this slider lets you tweak the degree of the matching to create the atmosphere that you want. It\u2019s especially helpful when you want to make a major change to the feel of the original image and inject more drama.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sky Global<br \/>\n<\/strong>This slider controls the visibility of the new sky. Using a high value setting makes the new sky more intense whereas as low one reduces its impact. Use this tool create the ideal blend between the old and new sky so you can combine what you saw at the time with your creative vision.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advanced Settings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Close Gaps<br \/>\n<\/strong>This tool works in a similar way to \u2018Horizon Position\u2019 and is useful for closing any small gaps between the new sky and elements such as trees or tall buildings that extend into it. A small adjustment to the left, lowers the new sky to close any gaps. It\u2019s especially useful when you\u2019ve made a dramatic change such as switching from a bright grey or white sky, to something much more interesting, as any gaps would draw attention to the change.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sky Local<br \/>\n<\/strong>This tool gives control over the visibility of any clouds in the original sky. Moving the slider to the left makes the original sky clouds more visible whereas moving it to the right makes them less visible. Use this tool to improve a reasonable sky to give your image impact.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sky Defocus<br \/>\n<\/strong>If you have shot with a wide aperture and focused on a subject in the foreground, distant objects will be out of focus in your original image. A sharp sky over a blurred background would look odd. Slide the control point to the right to make the sky look softer so the end result is more natural-looking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Atmospheric Haze<br \/>\n<\/strong>This tool lets you add some haze to the sky to help it blend in when the original image captures air pollution and murky conditions. It\u2019s useful for big cityscapes and shots of distant mountains.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Flip Sky<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_136157&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1420px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-136157\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Sky-in-original-orientation.jpg\" alt=\"Sky-in-original-orientation\" width=\"1400\" height=\"744\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/04\/Sky-in-original-orientation.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/04\/Sky-in-original-orientation.jpg?resize=300,159 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/04\/Sky-in-original-orientation.jpg?resize=630,335 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/04\/Sky-in-original-orientation.jpg?resize=1240,659 1240w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/04\/Sky-in-original-orientation.jpg?resize=900,478 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/04\/Sky-in-original-orientation.jpg?resize=562,299 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Sky in original orientation<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>One of the tell-tale signs that a sky has been replaced is that direction of the light hitting the land doesn\u2019t match the position of the sun in the sky.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_136149&quot;
