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:

  • Start with a well-exposed daytime photo (avoid blown-out skies)
  • Use AI Sky Replacement to swap in a night sky or Milky Way
  • Refine horizon masking and relight the scene to match the new sky
  • Darken overall exposure, cool the white balance, and add targeted contrast
  • 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.
