Sky replacement for real estate photos.
A gray sky can make a good home look flat. Sky replacement gives the front of the home a clear sky, with a label so buyers know it was changed.

Labels and MLS rules
A new or bluer sky usually needs a label. California AB 723 asks agents to state that a photo was altered and to show the original.
Questions and answers
Do I have to disclose a replaced sky?
Usually yes. A new sky shows something that was not there on the day. Check your state and MLS rules, then label the photo the way they ask.
Will it change the house or the yard?
It is built to change the sky only. CRMLS does not allow changing landscaping, even with a label.
Can I keep the original sky?
Yes. Your uploaded photo is always kept exactly as you sent it.
