But instead of canceling the photo shoot, causing the owner further inconvenience, and postponing the sales launch, you simply photograph the property anyway. This is where our professional bad weather correction (sky replacement) service comes into play. Our retouching experts use a combination of manual masking techniques and cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) to completely eliminate the gray sky from to remove from your raw data. Afterwards, we photorealistically insert a bright blue summer sky with light fair-weather clouds. But simply replacing the sky is not enough to create a realistic image. A blue sky casts a completely different light on the surroundings than a dense cloud cover. Therefore, our bad weather correction always also includes an in-depth color correction (color grading) of the entire image. We increase the saturation of the grass so that it appears lush and green again. We warm up the color temperature of the facade to create the illusion of direct sunlight, and we even correct the reflections of the sky in the window panes of the house. The end result is a perfectly exposed, highly emotional summer image, which is suitable for the human eye cannot distinguish from a real sunny weather shot. You save yourself expensive second shootings, can bring your property to the market absolutely on time, and guarantee the owner the best possible visual presentation of their property.
Make yourself 100% independent of the weather forecast. Whether it storms, snows, or rains – you can always keep the photo appointment with the owner. This demonstrates reliability and greatly accelerates the entire sales process.

No, when done professionally, this is not noticeable to the human eye. The most common mistake with cheap apps is that the sky is made blue, but the rest of the landscape (e.g., the lawn) remains dark and grayish. We adjust the global lighting, contrast, and saturation of the entire image to match the new sky. The result is absolutely photorealistic.
Yes, this is common practice in professional real estate marketing. By changing the sky, you do not alter the properties or the building fabric of the property (as would be the case, for example, if you retouched a crack in the wall). The sky is merely the background and serves to enhance the emotional appeal.
Yes, that is part of our extended bad weather correction. If you have taken photos shortly after a rain shower, wet streets often reflect a lot and appear restless. We can matt these areas in post-production and digitally 'dry' them so that the summer day look is perfected.
Absolutely! In drone images, the sky is often a dominating part of the picture. Here, bad weather correction is particularly effective. Even in aerial images, we seamlessly swap the horizon and the cloud background and adjust the color cast of the landscape below exactly to the new light.
