Turn Day into Night

Relight an uploaded daytime street or building photo into a convincing evening scene with warm windows and lamps.

Full prompt

Transform the uploaded daytime photo into the same scene at blue hour, just after sunset. Keep the architecture, layout, objects and camera angle exactly the same. Change the sky to a deep gradient from navy to soft violet with a few early stars, switch on warm yellow lights in the windows and street lamps, and add gentle light pools on the ground beneath them. Cool down the overall colour balance, deepen shadows naturally, and add faint reflections on any glass or wet surfaces.

Tips for this prompt

  • Swap "blue hour" for "foggy night" or "snowy evening" to change the atmosphere.
  • Works well for real-estate exteriors; add "illuminate the garden path" for curb appeal.
  • Add a framing cue such as close-up, wide shot or 85mm portrait lens to control how much of the scene you get.
  • Set the canvas to 16:9 in your generator — this composition was written for that shape.
