Step by step
- 1
Upload the photo
Upload the shot with wires or poles across the sky.
- 2
Trace wires with a small brush
Wires are thin — shrink the brush and follow each line; an oversized brush eats extra sky and is harder to fill.
- 3
Paint over the poles
Cover each pole top to bottom, including where it meets the ground or a building.
- 4
Erase and download
Click Erase and check the sky is seamless; fix any gap by undoing and re-tracing, then download.
Frequently asked questions
The wires are so thin I keep missing them — help?
Zoom in, set the brush to its smallest, and follow the line slowly; if it's hard to align, brush a touch of extra sky — flat sky fills easily.
Can I remove the part of the wire crossing trees or buildings?
The stretch over plain sky comes off cleanest; where it crosses branches or buildings the AI can only approximate, so it may take a few passes.
Will it work on a gradient sunset sky?
Usually yes — gradients blend well; if you see slight banding, narrow the brushed area and work in segments.
