Fix Your Sky, Save Your Photo: Sky Swap AI Tutorial

That flat, gray sky can drag down an otherwise great photo, and this lesson shows why it doesn’t have to. Using a built-in practice file, this tutorial walks through SkySwap AI in ON1 Photo RAW, matching the foreground to the new sky, and using Effects filters to bring it all together into one believable image. A strong sky swap isn’t about faking a photo, it’s about finishing the one already in mind when the shutter clicked. Watch to turn your own folder of “almost” photos into shots worth printing.

Want to follow along with your own copy of the file? Hop into ON1 Photo RAW 2026.5 and you’ll find this practice file waiting in the Home module, along with a whole library of others ready to play with. It’s a quick update, and it turns this from a video you watch into an edit you can actually try yourself. Grab the update and edit right alongside the lesson.
