Turn Sky Blue Upgrade: Get Perfect-Weather Photos in Seconds

The Problem: Bad Weather Days Kill Your Listing Photos

It's January. It's been raining nonstop.

And honestly? Your real estate photos look terrible right now.

We got a message from one of our customers at Engel & Völkers on WhatsApp:

"Hey, the sky turns blue, but the floors still look wet. The whole place still feels rainy."

They were right.

The problem wasn't just the sky. It was everything the rain touches:

• Wet floors that look dull and lifeless
• Dim lighting from overcast skies
• Reflections that make surfaces look grimy
• Overall atmosphere that screams "rainy day" instead of "perfect listing"

Most agents face this dilemma:

Option 1: Wait for perfect weather (could be weeks)

Option 2: Reshoot the property (expensive, time-consuming)

Option 3: Publish mediocre photos (lose inquiries)

There's no good choice.

Until now.

The Solution: We Upgraded Turn Sky Blue

We listened to that feedback and went back into our code.

We ramped up the AI models. We upgraded the entire Turn Sky Blue feature.

Now it doesn't just change the sky.

It transforms the entire photo.

What Changed: The New Turn Sky Blue Does More

Before the Upgrade

The old Turn Sky Blue feature did one thing: change gray skies to blue.

It worked, but it left the rest of the photo looking rainy.

After the Upgrade

The new Turn Sky Blue feature does everything:

✓ Dries the floors – Wet surfaces look dry and polished

✓ Boosts the light – Brightens the entire interior

✓ Cleans the reflections – Removes grimy, wet-weather reflections

✓ Enhances the atmosphere – Makes the photo feel like it was shot on a perfect summer day

✓ Maintains realism – Doesn't look fake or over-processed

The result? A photo that looks like it was shot on the best day of the year—not the rainiest.

Why This Matters: Shoot Anytime, Look Perfect

Here's the reality of real estate photography:

You can't always wait for perfect weather.

Listings need to go live. Sellers are impatient. Market conditions change.

But bad-weather photos kill your listing performance:

• Lower engagement – Rainy photos get 30% fewer clicks
• Fewer showings – Buyers don't want to see a property on a gray day
• Lower perceived value – The property looks less appealing
• Reshoots required – You have to come back when weather improves

With the upgraded Turn Sky Blue, you eliminate this problem.

You can shoot on rainy days, cloudy days, overcast days—and still get photos that look like they were shot on a perfect summer afternoon.

No reshoots. No waiting. No lost time.

Real-World Example: How This Changes Your Workflow

Before the Upgrade

Scenario: You have a listing to shoot, but it's been raining all week.

1. Option A: Wait for clear skies (could be 1-2 weeks)
   • Listing sits unpublished
   • Competitors list similar properties
   • You lose market advantage
2. Option B: Shoot in the rain
   • Photos look gray and dull
   • Floors look wet and uninviting
   • Listing gets fewer inquiries
   • You might need to reshoot anyway
3. Option C: Hire a professional photographer
   • Costs $500-1,500
   • Takes time to schedule
   • Still might need to wait for weather

Result: You lose time, money, or listing quality.

After the Upgrade

Scenario: You have a listing to shoot, but it's been raining all week.

1. Shoot immediately – Don't wait for weather
2. Upload to Pedra – Takes 2 minutes
3. Click Turn Sky Blue – Takes 5 seconds
4. Publish perfect photos – Listing goes live today

Result: You get perfect-day photos instantly, without reshoots or delays.

• Feels uninviting

The Numbers: Why This Matters

Real estate agents know the impact of photo quality:

• 92% of home buyers use photos to search for properties
• Photos with blue skies get 23% more inquiries than gray-sky photos
• Professional-looking photos increase perceived property value by 10-15%
• Listing photos are the #1 factor in whether a buyer clicks to view more details

Yet most agents are stuck with rainy-day photos because:

• They can't wait for perfect weather
• They can't afford professional retouching
• They don't have time to reshoot

The upgraded Turn Sky Blue solves all three problems.
