Common Issues

Room looks darker and smaller than reality

Why: Phone cameras struggle with indoor exposure, especially mixed lighting

Try: brighten the room evenly, make it look spacious and well-lit

'Spacious and well-lit' triggers AI to open up shadows and enhance natural light

Windows are blown out white while interior is dark

Why: Extreme contrast between bright windows and dim rooms exceeds camera range

Try: balance the window and room exposure β€” show the view while brightening the interior

This HDR-style fix is one of AI's strongest capabilities β€” it handles it naturally

Clutter and personal items make space look messy

Why: Lived-in spaces have furniture, toys, and personal items that distract

Try: remove the clutter and personal items, make the space look clean and staged

For listing photos, decluttered spaces get significantly more engagement

Colors look wrong β€” walls appear yellow or green

Why: Indoor lighting and mixed light sources create color casts

Try: correct the wall colors to look true and neutral, fix the white balance

Mention the actual wall color if you know it for more accurate correction

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I show paint colors accurately?

Use prompts focused on 'accurate color representation' and 'neutral lighting.' The AI corrects the lighting conditions that distort how paint colors appear in photos.

Why do my paint colors look different in photos?

Phone cameras adjust color temperature automatically, and room lighting adds color casts. Enhancement corrects these distortions to show the true paint color.

Do before/after photos help sell paint jobs?

Dramatically. Color transformation is visual by nature. Clear before/after comparisons are the single most effective marketing tool for painting contractors.

Can I show different color options?

Yes. Photograph sample areas or completed projects in different colors. Enhanced to show accurate colors, these become a visual menu for prospective clients.

What about commercial painting documentation?

Commercial projects benefit from the same enhancement. Professional documentation of large-scale painting work wins future commercial contracts.

Is this free?

Yes β€” 1 free edit per week. Plans start at $3.99/month.
