    HDR + DECLUTTER Tips

    Transform overcast skies into stunning blue canvases.

    When to Use HDR + DECLUTTER

    Overcast, grey, or washed-out skies can make even beautiful properties look dull. Sky replacement adds a natural blue sky with realistic clouds.

    How It Works

    Lumistate's AI detects the sky region, masks it precisely — even around trees and rooflines — and blends a photorealistic sky that matches the lighting conditions of your photo.

    Tips for Best Results

    • Works best on exterior shots with a clear sky-to-building boundary
    • The AI adjusts sky colour temperature to match the scene's lighting
    • Avoid heavily cropped images where very little sky is visible

    Compliance Note

    Sky-replaced images are automatically flagged in metadata for MLS compliance. The original sky is preserved in the before/after comparison.
