Upload your condition photo
Drop your condition close-up into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 7MB. Photograph every area of wear, damage, scratches, stains, or defects that buyers should know about.
Lighting enhancement: 15 seconds. Background cleanup with condition preservation: may need 2-3 refinements. -
Describe what you need
Type 'enhance lighting to show condition details clearly, preserve all wear and damage as-is' for condition documentation. The key phrase is 'preserve as-is' which tells the AI you want honest documentation, not cosmetic fixes.
Always include 'preserve all flaws as-is' or 'honest condition documentation' in your prompt. This prevents the AI from trying to 'fix' damage you need to show. -
Verify flaws are visible
Zoom to 100% and check that every scratch, stain, dent, or wear mark is clearly visible. Compare to the actual item to ensure the photo accurately represents the condition.
If any flaw looks less visible than in real life, the documentation isn't honest enough. Re-shoot or adjust the prompt to enhance that specific area. -
Refine specific condition areas
If the AI smoothed over or reduced visibility of specific flaws, tap markers on those areas and regenerate. Tell it explicitly to preserve those condition details.
Markers are your best tool for condition documentation. Mark specific flaws to prevent the AI from cleaning them up.

Common Condition Documentation Issues
AI cleaned up flaws I wanted to document
Why: The AI interpreted wear, scratches, or stains as problems to fix rather than condition details to preserve.
enhance lighting only, preserve ALL scratches, wear, stains, and damage exactly as-is, honest condition documentation
The phrase 'honest condition documentation' is the strongest signal to the AI that flaws should be preserved, not fixed.
Scratches less visible after editing
Why: Enhancement can sometimes smooth subtle scratches that were only visible in certain lighting.
enhance contrast and directional lighting to make scratches MORE visible, preserve exact scratch patterns
If scratches disappear, mark those areas and ask for enhanced contrast specifically on the scratched regions.
Stain color looks different after editing
Why: Color enhancement can shift stain colors, making them appear lighter or different than the actual stain.
enhance lighting around stain, preserve exact stain color and intensity, no color correction on stained area
Add 'no color correction on stained area' to prevent the AI from trying to fix discoloration you need to document.
Lighting enhancement exaggerates minor flaws
Why: Enhanced lighting can make minor surface marks look more severe than they actually are.
enhance lighting naturally, no over-enhancement, balanced representation of condition
Add 'balanced representation' to prevent the AI from over-enhancing contrast on condition details.
Background removal affected condition details at edges
Why: The AI sometimes processes edge pixels too aggressively when removing backgrounds near condition details.
Always mark condition details that are near the item's edges before background removal.
Dark areas still hiding condition details
Why: Some shadow areas resist general lighting enhancement and need targeted attention.
specifically enhance lighting in shadow areas, reveal hidden condition details in dark regions
If general lighting enhancement doesn't reach dark areas, request 'fill lighting in shadow areas' for targeted illumination.
Condition Documentation Questions
How do I show flaws without making items look worse than they are?
Use 'enhance lighting to show condition details clearly' rather than 'enhance contrast' which can exaggerate. The goal is accurate representation. Add 'balanced representation' if the AI makes flaws look worse than they actually are. Good documentation shows truth, not exaggeration.
Will the AI try to fix condition issues I want to show?
It might, unless you're explicit. Always add 'preserve all scratches, wear, and damage as-is' or 'honest condition documentation' to your prompt. The AI needs to know you want documentation, not cosmetic fixes. These phrases signal your intent clearly.
What lighting works best for condition documentation?
Directional side lighting reveals scratches and surface texture best. A single desk lamp at an angle works well. Avoid overhead lighting that can either hide or exaggerate flaws. EditThisPic can then enhance this lighting for even clearer documentation.
How many condition photos should I include?
Document every area of notable wear, damage, or defect. eBay allows 12 photos per listing. Use at least 2-3 for condition documentation: overall condition, worst area close-up, and any specific defects. More documentation means fewer surprises and fewer returns.
Does honest documentation actually help sales?
Yes. Studies show that honest condition documentation increases buyer confidence, leading to higher bids and significantly fewer return disputes. Buyers who can see exactly what they're getting bid with confidence. Hidden surprises lead to returns.
Can I use this for eBay condition grading photos?
Absolutely. Whether you're grading as 'Like New,' 'Very Good,' or 'Acceptable,' clear condition photos support your grading claims. Enhanced lighting makes the difference between grades visible, helping buyers trust your assessment.
