# Sky Replacement

Replaces a grey or overcast sky with a clear or cloud-filled one of your choosing.

**Parent Property Name:** `restage`

**Sub-property:** `sky`

**Accepted Values:** <mark style="color:blue;">string</mark> | <mark style="color:blue;">null</mark>

**Values:**

* `AS_SHOT`: Keeps the original sky (equivalent to the old `sky_replacement: false`).
* `CLEAR`: Creates a sky without any clouds.
* `LOW_CLOUD`: Creates a sky with low cloud saturation.
* `LOW_CLOUD_LOW_SAT`: Creates a sky with neutral sky and cloud saturation.
* `HIGH_CLOUD`: Creates a sky with high cloud saturation.
* `WHISPY_CLOUD`: Creates a sky with light, wispy clouds.
* `DUSK_CLOUD`: Creates a warm, dusk-toned sky.

**Default:** `AS_SHOT`

**Example:**

```json
{
  "restage": {
    "sky": "LOW_CLOUD"
  }
}
```

{% hint style="info" %}
**Upgrading from `sky_replacement` / `cloud_type`?** From API version `2026-07-01`, sky control is consolidated into the single `restage.sky` property. On older versions the separate `sky_replacement` (boolean) and `cloud_type` (enum) fields still work and are folded into `restage.sky` automatically. See [API Versions](/api-versions.md) for the full migration.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
`WHISPY_CLOUD` and `DUSK_CLOUD` are only produced by more recent AI versions. On older AI versions the request is still accepted, but these styles won't be applied. See [AI Versions](/ai-version.md) to check or update your AI version.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.autoenhance.ai/images/basic-enhancements/restaging/sky-replacement.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
