*Please note that this tool requires a minimum of 15% of the sky in your photo to work properly.*
{% endhint %}

Scroll through the available sky options to find the perfect match for your photo. Simply tap on your preferred sky to apply it, and if you particularly like one, you can mark it as a favorite to easily access it later. Additionally, you have the option to upload your own sky by scrolling to the top right and pressing the "+" button.&#x20;

Once you've chosen and applied your desired sky, press the **Adjust button** at the top to access more settings. Swipe left or right to switch between different adjustment sections.

* **Position:** you can use the centered area or tap the white buttons for more precise positioning of the sky.
* **Flip Horizontally**: option mirrors the sky from left to right, providing versatility in your compositions.
* **Power Icon:** is a small yet significant feature that allows you to quickly preview the sky effect on your image, facilitating decision-making and enabling rapid creative iterations.
* **Global:** setting affects how the texture of the new sky blends into the scene
* **Close Gaps:** fills in small details or holes not initially covered by the replaced sky. Adjust this setting as needed, especially if your image contains intricate details like trees or wires.
* **Fix Details:** address any imperfections around the edges of your new sky, ensuring a seamless integration with the rest of the scene.
* **Brightness:** allows you to adjust the lightness or darkness of the new sky, ensuring it matches the overall tone of your photo.
* **Warmth:** alters the color temperature of the sky.
* **Defocus:** blurs the sky, particularly useful when working with a shallow depth of field and foreground objects.
