"Wedding reception photos were ruined by the venue's awful lighting. Every candid looked dark and yellow. Fixed the lighting across 200 photos in an afternoon. The couple cried happy tears when they saw the album." @WeddingLens_Jessica

Built for Event Photographers

Photobombers and strangers appear in important shots
Venue lighting creates dark, unflattering photos
Someone blinked or had a bad expression in the group shot
Exit signs, cables, and venue clutter distract from the moment
Mixed lighting creates color casts on skin tones
The DJ or catering staff accidentally got in frame

Events are chaotic. You can't control crowds, venue lighting, or who walks behind your subjects. But you can fix what went wrong after the fact. EditThisPic lets you describe what needs to change - remove that random guest, brighten the dark corner, clean up the background. The AI handles the tedious work so you can deliver a perfect album.

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Upload your event photo

Drop your event image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Works with wedding receptions, corporate events, birthday parties, concerts, and any gathering. Flash photos, ambient light, outdoor venues - any conditions work.

Single person removal: 25 seconds. Lighting fixes across a photo: 20 seconds. Complex group shot cleanup: may need 2-3 passes.
2

Describe your edit in plain English

Type what you need: 'remove the waiter visible behind the bride' or 'brighten this dark reception photo and fix the yellow color cast.' Be specific about who or what to remove. For lighting, describe the look you want - 'natural,' 'bright,' or 'warm but not yellow.'

For group shots, use identifiers: 'the person in the red dress on the left' or 'the tall man behind the groom' helps the AI find the right person.
3

Review and download

Check that removed people left natural-looking backgrounds. Verify skin tones look healthy after lighting adjustments. Ensure group shots have all intended faces visible and sharp. Download your album-ready event photo.

Refine specific areas if needed

If the AI removed the wrong person or the lighting needs adjustment, tap a marker on that specific area and regenerate. Event photos often have complex scenes - markers help the AI understand exactly what you mean.

For batch consistency, save your lighting prompt and reuse it across photos from the same venue.

Copy-Paste Prompts for Event Photos

Photobomber in the background
remove the person photobombing in the background behind the main subjects, fill naturally with the venue environment

'Behind the main subjects' tells the AI which layer of people to target

Dark venue lighting
brighten the image significantly while keeping skin tones natural, reduce harsh shadows and balance exposure

'Skin tones natural' prevents the AI from over-brightening faces to the point of looking washed out

Yellow color cast from tungsten lights
correct the yellow color cast to neutral white balance, make skin tones look healthy and natural

Works for any color cast - tungsten yellow, fluorescent green, or mixed lighting

Waiter or staff in frame
remove the catering staff member visible at the edge of the frame, extend the background naturally

Works for any service staff - DJ, bartender, photographer assistant

Show 4 more prompts
Exit sign ruining the shot
remove the exit sign and any cables or equipment visible on the ceiling, fill with natural venue ceiling

Venues often have distracting safety signage - this cleans up the background

Red eye from flash
fix the red eye on all people in the photo, make eyes look natural

'All people' ensures the AI catches everyone, not just the main subjects

Group shot needs enhancement
enhance all faces in the group shot to be sharp and clear, improve skin tones while keeping the image natural

Great for large group photos where some faces are soft or poorly lit

Stranger walked through shot
remove the random person walking through the foreground, restore the floor and background naturally

'Foreground' and 'background' help the AI understand depth in busy event scenes

When Things Go Wrong

AI removed the wrong person

Why: In crowded event photos, descriptions can be ambiguous when multiple people match.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific person to remove, then: remove this person, keep everyone else

Markers are essential for crowded event photos where verbal descriptions aren't specific enough.

Lighting fix made skin look orange or unnatural

Why: Correcting color casts can sometimes over-correct or shift skin tones incorrectly.

Try: adjust the skin tones to look natural and healthy, keep the lighting correction but fix skin colors

'Natural and healthy skin tones' is the key phrase for realistic results.

Removed person left a visible hole or artifact

Why: Complex backgrounds or people overlapping others are challenging to fill seamlessly.

Try: Tap marker on the artifact, then: fill this area naturally with the surrounding venue environment, blend seamlessly

For overlapping people, you may need to regenerate the remaining person's edges.

Group faces still look soft after enhancement

Why: Significantly out-of-focus faces can only be improved so much - the AI can't recreate missing detail.

Try: sharpen the faces as much as possible while keeping them looking natural, enhance details

Very soft faces may look better slightly improved than artificially sharpened.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I remove someone from a group photo without leaving a gap?

Yes. The AI will fill the space naturally, adjusting the remaining people and background to look seamless. For tightly grouped people, you may need a refinement pass to blend edges where the removed person was touching others.

Will the lighting fix work consistently across multiple photos from the same venue?

Yes. Save your lighting prompt and reuse it for photos from the same venue with similar lighting conditions. This ensures consistent look across an album. 'Brighten and correct yellow cast, natural skin tones' works well as a repeatable prompt.

Can it fix motion blur from dancing or movement?

Minor blur can be sharpened with 'enhance sharpness and detail.' However, significant motion blur is difficult to fully correct - the AI can improve it but can't recreate detail that was never captured. For dancing shots, try it and see if the improvement is acceptable.

How does it handle flash photography with harsh shadows?

Describe what you want: 'soften the harsh flash shadows, create more even lighting across the scene.' The AI can fill in shadow areas and balance exposure. Works well for typical flash photos from events.

Can I edit photos from concerts or low-light venues?

Yes. Low-light photos can be brightened and enhanced, though there are limits to how much detail can be recovered from very dark images. Stage lighting and colored lights can be balanced or preserved depending on your prompt.

What about corporate event photos with logos that need to stay?

Be specific about what to keep: 'remove the photobomber but keep the company banner visible.' The AI follows instructions, so mention any branded elements that must remain in frame.
