Common Issues
Fluorescent classroom lighting looks greenish
Why: School fluorescent lights create an unflattering green/yellow color cast
Adding 'natural skin tones' ensures faces look healthy, not sickly
Subject too far away in auditorium or gym
Why: School events force parents to shoot from bleachers or back rows
Use a tap marker on the specific person for targeted enhancement
Harsh shadows from cap, hat, or overhead lights
Why: Graduation caps and overhead gym lights cast deep face shadows
Mentioning 'under the cap' precisely targets the shadow area AI needs to fix
Crowded background distracts from the subject
Why: School events have busy backgrounds with other students, chairs, and equipment
Background blur is more natural than removal — keeps the context while reducing distraction
Frequently Asked Questions
Will removing the shadow look natural?
Yes. The AI brightens the shadowed area to match the lit portions of your face. The result looks like you were photographed in even, flattering light instead of harsh directional sun.
Can I fix the whole graduating class photo?
Yes. 'Brighten all faces under their caps' works for group shots. The AI identifies and corrects each face individually.
Does this work for baseball cap shadows too?
Yes. Any brimmed hat creates the same shadow problem. The fix works identically for baseball caps, sun hats, visors, and helmets.
