How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Drop your concert or performance photo into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Works best with photos where lighting equipment is clearly visible and separate from performers.

    Expect: Simple lighting removal: 15-25 seconds. Complex setups with multiple fixtures: may need 2-3 refinements.

  2. Describe what to remove

    Type your instruction: 'remove the stage lights and lighting equipment' or 'eliminate the visible lighting fixtures.' Be specific about what to remove—spotlights, light bars, rigging, or specific fixtures. The AI understands lighting equipment without you marking anything.

    Tip: Include what should remain: 'remove stage lights but keep all the performers and audience' ensures the AI preserves important elements.

    Try This →
    Professional venue cleanup remove all visible lighting equipment and fixtures for a professional clean venue appearance
    Try This →

  3. Generate and review

    Check that lighting equipment is gone while performers, instruments, and background elements remain intact. Zoom in to verify the removal looks natural and background is properly filled.

  4. Refine with markers if needed

    If specific lights or fixtures remain, tap markers on those exact spots and regenerate. This is optional—most lighting removals work without markers on the first try.

    Tip: Markers are for precision refinement only. Try the description-first approach first—it handles most lighting equipment automatically.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Concert & Event Photography

Clean up concert and event photos by removing visible lighting equipment while preserving the performance energy.

Common Scenarios

  • Removing stage lights from concert photos for social media or promotional use
  • Cleaning up event photography by eliminating visible lighting rigs and equipment
  • Creating professional-looking venue shots without distracting lighting hardware

Best Practices

  • Specify what to preserve: 'remove lights but keep all performers and audience'
  • For complex lighting setups, work in stages: remove major fixtures first, then detail cleanup
  • Check that lighting effects (beams, colors) remain while only equipment is removed
📷

Professional Venue Shots

Create clean, professional venue photography without visible lighting infrastructure.

Common Scenarios

  • Preparing venue photos for marketing materials without distracting equipment
  • Creating clean architectural shots of performance spaces
  • Documenting events with focus on people and venue, not technical equipment

Best Practices

  • Use 'clean venue look' in your prompt for polished, professional results
  • Remove lighting systematically: overhead rigs first, then side equipment
  • Verify background fills naturally where large equipment was removed
📷

Social Media Content

Polish concert and performance photos for social sharing by removing distracting lighting equipment.

Common Scenarios

  • Cleaning up live performance photos before posting to Instagram or Facebook
  • Creating shareable concert content without visible technical equipment
  • Preparing event photos that focus on people and performance, not lighting gear

Best Practices

  • Keep lighting effects and atmosphere while removing only the physical equipment
  • Start with the most obvious/distracting lights and work toward smaller fixtures
  • Use simple prompts like 'remove stage lights' for quick social media cleanup

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or removed something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which lighting equipment you meant from description alone. This happens when there are multiple light sources or performers near lighting.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific lighting fixture you want removed, then regenerate with the same prompt
Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'remove THIS light specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Performers or instruments got affected when removing lights

Why: Stage lighting is often close to performers, making it challenging for the AI to separate equipment from people.

Try: remove the stage lights but carefully preserve all performers, instruments, and audience members
Try This →

Tip: Adding 'carefully preserve' in your prompt prioritizes keeping people intact over perfect light removal.

Background looks unnatural where lights were removed

Why: Large lighting equipment leaves big gaps that need intelligent background reconstruction based on surrounding venue elements.

Try: remove the stage lights and naturally fill the background with venue ceiling and walls
Try This →

Tip: 'Naturally fill the background' guides the AI to reconstruct appropriate venue elements behind removed equipment.

Some lighting equipment still visible after removal

Why: Complex lighting rigs with multiple fixtures may need multiple passes, especially when equipment blends with stage architecture.

Try: Tap markers on remaining lighting fixtures and regenerate: remove these remaining lights and equipment
Try This →

Tip: Target remaining lights individually rather than re-running the full removal for better precision.

Stage lighting effects (like beams) removed instead of equipment

Why: The AI interpreted 'lights' as lighting effects rather than the physical lighting fixtures and equipment.

Try: remove the lighting equipment and fixtures, not the light beams or lighting effects
Try This →

Tip: Specify 'equipment and fixtures' to target physical hardware rather than lighting effects or beams.
