Common Issues
Flash washed out the celebration scene
Why: Camera flash overpowers ambient party lighting and decorations
reduce the flash washout, restore the warm ambient party lighting and decoration colors
Mentioning 'ambient party lighting' helps AI preserve the festive atmosphere
Decorations and colors look dull in the photo
Why: Phone cameras often desaturate vibrant party decorations in mixed lighting
Ask for 'vibrant but natural' to avoid over-saturated neon-looking results
Group photo has people blinking or not looking
Why: Large group celebrations make it impossible to get everyone perfect
For large groups, focus on fixing the most obvious issues first
Indoor party photo is too dark or orange
Why: Warm indoor lighting and dim party settings confuse phone cameras
Specify 'keep the warm party feel' if you want brightness without losing coziness
Frequently Asked Questions
Can AI balance candle light with dark faces?
Yes. The AI selectively brightens the dark areas (faces, room) while leaving the candle exposure alone. The result looks like the room had a gentle fill light alongside the candles.
Will it ruin the warm birthday atmosphere?
Not if you include 'keep the warm candlelight mood' in your prompt. The AI brightens faces while preserving the cozy amber glow that makes birthday photos special.
