How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Drop your daytime property exterior into EditThisPic. Straight-on shots with visible windows work best since the AI needs to add interior light glow. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Standard conversion: 25-30 seconds. Complex scenes with pools or extensive landscaping: may need 2 passes for perfect lighting.
  2. Describe what you want

    Type your instruction: 'convert to dusk with warm lights glowing in the windows and a dramatic sunset sky.' Be specific about the sky — 'deep purple and orange gradient,' 'golden hour warmth,' or 'blue hour with soft pink clouds.' No marking needed — the AI transforms the entire scene.

    Tip: Include 'warm amber light glowing from every window' — lit windows are what make dusk shots sell properties.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Standard day-to-dusk conversion convert this to a dusk photo with warm amber lights glowing from every window, dramatic purple and orange sunset sky, and soft landscape lighting along the walkway
    Luxury home with pool at dusk convert to twilight with warm interior lights in all windows, deep blue sky with pink clouds, pool glowing turquoise with underwater lights, and landscape uplighting on trees
    Suburban home with warm glow transform this daytime photo to dusk with golden warm light spilling from windows, a deep blue evening sky with the last hint of sunset on the horizon
    Modern exterior at blue hour convert to blue hour with cool blue sky, warm white interior lights visible through large glass windows, and accent lighting along the roofline and entryway
    3 more prompts
    Lakefront property at golden hour convert to golden hour with warm sunset reflecting in the lake, all windows glowing with amber light, and the house silhouetted against a vivid orange and purple sky
    Commercial building at dusk convert this commercial property to a professional dusk shot with illuminated signage, interior office lights visible, and a clean gradient sky from deep blue to warm horizon
    Ranch-style home at sunset convert to a dramatic sunset with deep orange and red sky, warm porch lights on, every window glowing with interior warmth, and soft shadows across the front yard
  3. Generate and review

    Check that window lights look natural and warm, the sky gradient is dramatic but believable, and landscape lighting is consistent. Verify shadows match the new dusk direction. Zoom in on windows to confirm the glow looks like real interior lights, not flat yellow overlays.

  4. Refine with markers if needed

    If some windows are missing their glow or the sky transition has an odd edge, tap markers on those specific areas and regenerate. This is optional — most day-to-dusk conversions look great on the first try.

    Tip: Markers are for precision refinement, not a required step. Try without them first.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Residential Listings

Dusk photos are the single highest-impact enhancement for residential listings. They create emotional appeal that standard daytime shots cannot match.

Common Scenarios

  • Converting MLS hero photos to dramatic dusk for maximum click-through
  • Creating dusk versions of multiple angles for a complete gallery
  • Rescuing overcast or flat-light exterior photos with dramatic dusk conversion

Best Practices

  • Convert the front exterior hero shot first — it's the listing thumbnail that drives clicks
  • Use 'warm amber' for traditional homes and 'warm white' for modern homes
  • Include landscape lighting in your prompt for a complete professional result
📷

Luxury Properties

Luxury listings demand dusk photography. The combination of dramatic skies, warm interior glow, and landscape lighting communicates the lifestyle premium buyers expect.

Common Scenarios

  • Full twilight scenes with pool glow, landscape uplighting, and dramatic sky for luxury marketing
  • Blue-hour architectural shots for modern luxury homes with glass facades
  • Estate photography with driveway lights and multiple building illumination

Best Practices

  • Request pool lighting, landscape uplighting, and accent lights for the full luxury treatment
  • Modern luxury homes look best at 'blue hour' rather than warm sunset
  • Include architectural details like 'accent lighting along the roofline' for high-end results
📷

Real Estate Photography Business

Offer day-to-dusk as an upsell service to your real estate clients without scheduling separate twilight shoots.

Common Scenarios

  • Adding day-to-dusk to your service menu as a premium add-on
  • Processing entire shoots with consistent dusk styling for agent clients
  • Creating day and dusk versions of the same shot for listing variety

Best Practices

  • Develop a standard prompt that works for most homes in your market
  • Process the hero exterior first, then offer additional angles as upsells
  • Keep both day and dusk versions — agents use day photos for different platforms

If something looks off

Some windows are dark while others glow

Why: The AI didn't detect all windows, especially smaller or partially obscured ones.

Try: add warm amber light glowing from every single window on the house, including small bathroom and garage windows

Tip: Specifying 'every single window' and naming overlooked ones like 'garage windows' catches them all

The sky looks unrealistic or has a hard edge where it meets the roofline

Why: The AI struggled with the sky-to-roof transition, especially on complex rooflines or with trees in front.

Try: create a smooth gradient sky from deep blue at the top to warm orange at the horizon, blending naturally around the roofline and trees

Tip: Adding 'blending naturally around trees' tells the AI to handle tree silhouettes against the sky

The house looks too dark overall — lost all detail

Why: The AI made the scene too dark, simulating near-night rather than the 20-minute dusk window.

Try: convert to early dusk with enough ambient light to see all house details clearly, sky still has orange glow on the horizon, warm lights in windows

Tip: 'Early dusk' gives a brighter result than 'night' — you want the sweet spot where the sky has color AND windows glow

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone. This happens with ambiguous requests.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to change, then regenerate with the same prompt

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS one specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Landscape and walkway are pitch black with no lighting

Why: The AI focused on the sky and windows but forgot to add ground-level ambient light.

Try: add soft landscape lighting along the walkway, pathway lights, and ambient glow on the front yard from the window light spillover

Tip: Real dusk photos show 'light spillover' from windows onto landscaping — this detail sells realism
