Hi there!

I do not actually have a single “definitive guide” article or book with that exact title, but I do walk through the full day-to-night process in my content about Skylum Luminar.

Here is the core workflow I teach:

  1. Start with a well-exposed daytime photo (avoid blown-out skies)
  2. Use AI Sky Replacement to swap in a night sky or Milky Way
  3. Refine horizon masking and relight the scene to match the new sky
  4. Darken overall exposure, cool the white balance, and add targeted contrast
  5. Add subtle glow, vignette, and color grading for a believable night look

If you want, I can break this into a step‑by‑step checklist you can follow in Luminar.
