AI Highlight Recovery

How it works

1. 1

   Upload your overexposed photo

   Drop your image with blown highlights into EditThisPic. Works with JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. The tool handles washed-out skies, bright windows, overexposed faces, or any area that's too bright and lost detail.

   Expect: Moderate overexposure: 15-20 seconds. Severely blown areas may need 2 attempts to fully recover texture and color.

   Describe what you want

   Type your instruction: 'recover blown highlights in the sky and restore blue color and cloud detail' or 'restore detail in the bright overexposed window.' Be specific about which areas are blown—sky, reflections, windows, skin. No marking needed—the AI identifies overexposed regions.

   Tip: Mention what should be visible: 'restore cloud detail and blue sky color' tells the AI what you expect to see.

   Generate and review

   AI analyzes overexposed areas and intelligently reconstructs lost detail. Zoom to 100% to verify cloud texture, window detail, or whatever was blown is now visible. Check that recovered areas blend naturally with properly exposed parts.
