Will the time of day in the room change to match the new view?

The light direction and exposure inside the room stay close to the original. Color temperature can shift subtly (warmer toward sunset, cooler toward overcast) to harmonize with the new view, but the room is not relit.

Can I use any landscape reference, even a painting?

A photographic reference works best. The model extracts depth, atmospheric perspective and palette from the reference — paintings can confuse depth cues. Stick to photographs of real landscapes for predictable results.

About this model

Replaces what is visible through a window in an interior photograph with a chosen landscape. Mountain range, lake, forest canopy, city skyline, ocean horizon — any view that can be expressed through a reference image is fair game. The window frame, mullions, glazing and curtains stay exactly where they are; only the content beyond the glass changes. Atmospheric depth, time of day and color palette are extracted from the reference and adapted to the window's framing and the interior's lighting. The exterior light spilling into the room stays consistent with the original photo so the recomposed view does not break the interior's exposure or color balance. A subtle window-glass reflection is preserved. Useful for mock-ups when an apartment's actual view is uninspiring (a brick wall, a parking lot) but the buyer wants to imagine a destination version, or for staging photography where the location is great but the daytime weather was wrong on shoot day.

When to use it

An architecture studio publishes a feasibility study for a chalet in the Alps. The site visit happened in summer; the marketing visual needs a winter snowy peaks view to align with the brand of the project. Re-shooting in February is not on the budget. The studio runs the existing interior photo through Window View with a winter-Alps reference, the chalet appears with snow-capped peaks framed perfectly through the picture window, and the deck ships.

What to feed it

Interior photo: any room with a window or window wall clearly visible. View reference: a landscape photo in the register you want — mountain, lake, urban skyline, forest. Match the time of day broadly to the original photo (mid-day window, mid-day reference) for the cleanest light continuity. Heavily backlit windows in the source (sun framed in glass, bright sky blowing out) make the reconstruction harder.

What you'll get back

Same interior, same window geometry, same light direction — with your chosen view replacing the original. Foreground, middle ground and background of the new view are layered for realistic depth. Atmospheric haze on distant elements adds realism. A subtle reflection on the glass is preserved. Light spilling into the room stays consistent with the original; color temperature may shift slightly to harmonize with the new view's atmosphere. Small glazing bars (Crittall windows, leaded glass) are reconstructed cleanly.
