When Things Go Wrong

Laces look choppy or cut off against new background

Why: Thin laces and complex shoe edges can be tricky for background replacement.

Try: Tap markers on the laces, then: blend lace edges naturally with the new background, keep laces intact and sharp

Photograph shoes with laces tucked or arranged simply for cleaner automatic edges.

White shoes on white background disappear

Why: Same-color item and background lose definition.

Try: replace background with white but add subtle gray shadow and outline, keep shoe edges defined against the white

For white shoes, add 'subtle shadow and edge definition' to prevent them from blending into white backgrounds.

Shoe color looks different after editing

Why: Background changes can shift how shoe colors appear.

Try: keep the exact original shoe colors, only change the background, do not alter the footwear colors at all

Run color correction as a separate step if colors shifted.

Shadow under shoe looks fake or too heavy

Why: Generated shadows can look unnatural.

Try: add very subtle, barely visible natural shadow under shoe, soft and realistic, light from above

Less is more with shadows - specify 'very subtle' and 'barely visible.'

Shoe Photo FAQ

What background works best for selling shoes on Depop?

Clean white is the gold standard - it shows true color, condition, and every detail. Concrete works for streetwear sneakers. Dark charcoal creates premium drama for collectible pairs. Match the background to your shop's niche.

How many angles should I photograph?

At least 4: side profile, top-down, sole, and back heel. Edit all angles with the same background for a professional multi-image listing. Consistency across angles builds buyer confidence.

Will editing hide shoe condition or damage?

It shouldn't, and you should avoid that. Honest condition photos prevent returns. Use editing for backgrounds and lighting, not to mask wear. Add 'keep all wear and condition details clearly visible' to your prompts.

How do I make sneaker details and branding pop?

Use 'enhance details, sharpen branding and stitching' to make logos and construction details crisp. Clean backgrounds also help - details that were lost against busy backgrounds become clear on white.
