Sunset filter
Upload a photo and the sun moves. The scene is relit from a low warm sun on the horizon: shadows lengthen and swing round, upward-facing edges catch a warm rim, and the sky is graded to the hour you name. Ask for golden hour, a blazing sunset, the afterglow or twilight. What comes back is a new photograph of your scene, not a sky pasted over your file.
Sunset filter examples
How it works
Attach a photo or describe a scene, then pick golden hour, a blazing sunset, the afterglow or twilight. Say where the sun sits and what it rakes across. Leave the hour out and you get a low golden sun about twenty minutes before sunset.
YouArt returns one 1K landscape 3:2 photograph for 8 credits, lit from that sun rather than tinted over the top.
Check that the shadows agree with the sun: one direction, and a length that matches how low it is. Then look at faces and any lettering, because the whole frame is re-rendered.
What it actually moves
A warm tint is not a sunset. The sun is placed low on the horizon and the scene is lit from it: shadows lengthen and change direction, highlights warm, and the sky and the ground agree about where the light comes from. If you only want warmth, YouArt's free LUT tool does that in your browser and even ships a look named Golden Hour. But a lookup table never learns where a pixel is, so it cannot move a sun or lengthen a shadow.
Golden hour is a low warm sun still above the horizon with long raking shadows. A blazing sunset puts it on the horizon under orange and red. The afterglow is the soft light once it has gone. Twilight is later and cooler, deep blue with the last warmth low down. These are words sent with your prompt, not a catalogue of skies to browse or a slider to drag.
With a photo attached the run asks for one thing: keep the person, their clothing and the layout of the scene as they are, changing only the light and the sky. It is still a generated photograph rather than an edit of your file, so the frame is rebuilt and small detail can come back different. Check faces at full size.
Prompt ideas
The hour word carries the grade, so spend the sentence on where the sun is and what it rakes across. An orange wash is the one request that comes back looking like a filter.
A coastal road curving toward the sea, the sun just above the horizon at the end of it, long shadows from the roadside posts across the tarmac, warm haze over the water.
A wide field of dry grass under a low sun from the left, every seed head lit along its edge, the shadows of two trees stretching across the frame, an orange sky fading to blue.
Relight this as the last twenty minutes of sunlight behind her: a warm rim along her hair and shoulders, soft fill on the face, and her clothes and expression as they are.
Ways to use it
Give a flat midday holiday photo the evening it never got, in the 3:2 shape a stills camera shoots, so it crops to a post without losing the horizon.
Show a house at the hour buyers picture themselves in it. A listing photograph has to be the property as photographed, so this is a hero or concept image rather than the real shot.
Warm evening light on a bottle, a bike or a pair of boots outdoors, with the long shadow that sells the hour, instead of waiting for the right twenty minutes and the right weather.
Put golden hour, a blazing sunset and twilight beside each other before a shoot, so the call about the hour gets made on pictures rather than adjectives.
