Move the sun — golden hour, blue hour, overcast, night or starry sky

Golden hour lasts twenty minutes and never coincides with when you were free. Time of Day moves the sun for you. Choose a time and condition — sunset or sunrise golden hour, blue hour at dawn or dusk, bright midday, overcast, night, moonlit, starry, foggy morning, stormy, city lights — and the Studio re-renders the sky, the direction and color of the light, the length of the shadows and the overall palette so the scene reads as that moment. The people, the place and the composition stay the same.

Twenty options cover the day and the weather. The golden-hour and blue-hour settings are the ones portrait photographers plan their lives around and the ones that make travel and couple photos glow. Overcast and Cloudy Afternoon give soft, even light for group shots. Night, Moonlit, Starry Night and Northern Lights turn a daytime landscape into something else entirely, and City Lights makes an evening street sparkle. The result keeps the aspect ratio of the original.

A Standard run costs 4 credits and finishes in seconds; Pro and Max quality handle sky gradients and skin under warm light with more subtlety. Time of Day pairs naturally with AI Photoshoot's outdoor presets, with Background Changer when you have moved the subject into a new landscape, and with Relight when the light on the face needs a final adjustment. Compare against the original before you download, and try two neighboring settings — sunset and dusk, say — since the best hour for a face is often the one you did not expect.
