Best Prompts for Basketball Game Photos

Gym lighting is harsh and yellow
fix the yellow gym lighting, brighten players with natural white-balanced light

School and rec gym lighting is notoriously yellow and unflattering

Action shot of play is blurry
sharpen the players in action, reduce motion blur on the ball and jumping players

Basketball is fast and vertical - phone cameras struggle with the speed

Layup or dunk from stands
sharpen the player at the basket, enhance the dramatic upward moment

Dunk and layup photos from the stands are always blurry but the best moments

Team photo on the court
brighten the team equally, fix the gym lighting, enhance jersey numbers and faces

Court-level team photos need serious lighting correction

Common Issues

Overexposed sky washes out the scene

Why: Bright sky causes camera to underexpose subjects or blow out the background

Try: balance the exposure β€” darken the bright sky and brighten the subjects

Mentioning both sky and subjects helps AI adjust each independently

Motion blur on fast-moving athletes

Why: Action happens too fast for phone cameras in auto mode

Try: sharpen the moving athlete, reduce motion blur while keeping the action feel

Use a tap marker directly on the athlete for targeted sharpening

Fence, net, or barrier blocking the shot

Why: Sports venues have safety barriers between spectators and the field

Try: remove the fence and net in front of the action

AI handles chain-link and mesh removal well β€” just mark the area

Harsh midday shadows on outdoor action

Why: Direct overhead sun creates deep shadows under hats, visors, and brows

Try: fill in the harsh shadows on faces, brighten under the cap and visor

Specify 'under the cap' so AI targets the shadow without overexposing
