"My cutting board photos used to have sawdust and clamps in every shot. Now they look like they came from a professional catalog. Orders doubled within a month." @WoodshopWill
Built for Etsy Woodworkers

How to Edit Your Woodworking Product Photos
-
Upload your woodworking photo
Drop your piece into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 7MB. Workshop photos with sawdust and all are fine - the AI handles messy starting points. Just make sure the actual wood piece is well-lit enough to see the grain.
Background swap: 15-20 seconds. Full styled scene creation: may need 2-3 refinements. -
Describe your ideal product shot
Type exactly what you want: 'remove workshop background and replace with kitchen counter, warm natural light highlighting the grain' or 'enhance the walnut grain and add white marble surface.' Mention your wood species - the AI adjusts color accuracy accordingly.
Name your wood species in the prompt: 'walnut,' 'cherry,' 'maple,' or 'olive wood' helps the AI get colors and grain patterns right. -
Check grain detail and color accuracy
Zoom to full resolution. The wood grain figure, chatoyance, and joinery details should be sharp and clear. Compare wood tones to your actual piece - walnut should look warm and rich, not orange or flat brown.
Buyers zoom into grain photos - make sure you can see individual grain lines and any figured wood features. -
Refine edges if needed
For items with live edges, bark inclusions, or irregular shapes, tap markers along the natural edge. This tells the AI that the organic shape is intentional, not something to clean up.
Live edge pieces need special attention - mark the bark and natural edge so the AI preserves the organic character.
Copy-Paste Prompts for Woodworkers
replace background with modern kitchen counter, white marble backsplash, warm natural light from side window, fresh herbs and olive oil nearby for context
Kitchen context makes buyers imagine using your cutting board - it's the #1 conversion driver for kitchen woodwork
enhance the wood grain to show full depth and figure, bring out the chatoyance and natural color variation, warm natural lighting
Words like 'chatoyance,' 'figure,' and 'character' help the AI understand wood-specific detail you want enhanced
remove the workshop background and replace with pure white studio backdrop, soft natural shadow, keep all wood grain and joinery detail sharp
White backgrounds are universal and let the wood speak for itself - great for any wood species
replace background with modern minimalist living room, hardwood floor, white walls, natural light from window, furniture shown in real room context
Furniture needs room context so buyers can visualize it in their space and understand the scale
Show 4 more prompts
replace background with weathered barn wood surface, burlap fabric accent, warm rustic ambient lighting, farmhouse aesthetic
Match your background to your brand - rustic farmhouse backgrounds work perfectly for reclaimed wood items
enhance the joinery detail, show the dovetails/finger joints/mortise clearly, warm directional light raking across the joints
Raking light (from the side) highlights joinery by creating micro-shadows in the joint lines
correct the color temperature from cool fluorescent to warm natural light, make the wood tones accurate and warm, remove green/blue color cast
Fluorescent lights add green or blue casts that make warm woods look sickly - mention 'warm natural light' to fix
replace background with elegant gift wrapping setting, kraft paper and twine nearby, warm holiday lighting, gift-ready presentation
Personalized wood items sell as gifts - showing them in gift context drives seasonal purchases

Common Woodworking Photo Issues
Wood color looks wrong after background change
Why: Workshop fluorescent lighting creates color casts that the AI may carry into the new scene, or the new background's lighting doesn't match.
replace background with [your choice], correct wood color to warm natural tones, this is walnut (should be rich dark brown with purple undertones, not orange)
Name your wood species in the prompt - 'walnut,' 'cherry,' 'maple' each have specific color profiles the AI recognizes.
Grain detail was smoothed or lost
Why: Low-resolution or poorly lit originals may not give the AI enough grain information to preserve during editing.
enhance and sharpen the wood grain detail, every grain line should be visible, maintain the natural figure and character marks
Start with the best-lit grain photo you can get. Side lighting (raking light) captures grain better than overhead.
Live edge or bark inclusion was trimmed
Why: The AI may interpret bark, voids, and live edges as damaged areas to remove rather than natural features.
replace background with [your choice], preserve the natural live edge and bark inclusion exactly as-is, these are intentional design features
Tap markers along the entire live edge boundary so the AI knows it's an intentional design feature.
Finished surface reflections look odd in new context
Why: Lacquered and poly-finished surfaces reflect their environment. New backgrounds don't match existing reflections.
replace background with [your choice], adjust the reflections on the finished wood surface to match the new environment naturally
Matte or oil-finished pieces are easier to edit than high-gloss poly finishes - mention your finish type.
Scale is hard to judge in the photo
Why: Without context objects, buyers can't tell if your item is 6 inches or 6 feet.
replace background with [kitchen/room setting], include context objects like [knife/plate/book] nearby for natural scale reference
Include a familiar object (mug, knife, hand) in your original photo for natural scale reference.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the AI preserve my wood grain detail?
Yes, wood grain preservation is a priority. Mention 'keep wood grain sharp and detailed' in your prompt. For figured woods (curly maple, spalted, burl), name the specific figure type. The AI treats grain detail like the product's main feature - because for woodworking, it is. Zoom in to verify grain lines after editing.
How do I fix the yellow/green cast from my shop lights?
Add 'correct color temperature to warm natural light, remove fluorescent color cast' to any prompt. Fluorescent shop lights add green or yellow tints that make beautiful wood look sickly. The AI can shift the color temperature while keeping your actual wood tones accurate. Name your wood species for best color accuracy.
What background works best for cutting boards?
Kitchen context sells cutting boards best. 'Modern kitchen counter with marble backsplash, warm natural light' is a proven winner. For high-end boards, dark backgrounds (slate, dark marble) create dramatic contrast. For rustic or farmhouse boards, weathered wood or burlap backgrounds match the aesthetic.
Can the AI handle photos of large furniture pieces?
Yes, but context matters more for furniture than any other wood product. Use prompts like 'replace background with modern living room, show the piece at scale next to a sofa.' Buyers need room context to visualize furniture in their space. If possible, include something for scale reference in your original photo.
How do I show joinery quality in photos?
Mention your joint type specifically: 'enhance the dovetail joint detail with raking light from the left.' Side lighting creates micro-shadows that highlight joinery work. The AI can simulate directional light that makes your joints and mortises stand out as craftsmanship features.
Will the AI preserve live edges and natural features?
Yes, when you tell it to. Say 'preserve the natural live edge and bark inclusion as intentional design features.' Tap markers along the live edge if the AI tries to trim or smooth it. Voids, spalting, and bark inclusions are selling points in woodworking - the AI needs to know they're features, not flaws.
