Sky Replacement With Reflections In Luminar 4

Replacing a sky in a scene with reflections takes extra work. The AI Sky Replacement tool doesn’t recognize and automatically fill in reflections. You need to use layers. The major steps:

  • Use the AI Sky Replacement tool as you normally would for the sky

  • Add a new Image Layer for the reflected sky

  • Vertically flip the new sky layer and reposition it to make a reflection

  • Duplicate your original photo and drag it to the top of the layer stack

  • Use the masking tools to reveal the new sky

I like to start with a luminosity mask for the reflected sky layer. Then use the masking brush with a lower strength to blend it in with the original scene.
