How it works

  1. Upload your mismatched photo

    Drop the photo that doesn't match—usually the 'after' photo taken at different time, angle, or lighting than the 'before.' Common for renovation projects, fitness transformations, beauty treatments, or organizing jobs.

    Expect: Lighting/color matching: 20-30 seconds. Angle adjustments: may need refinement.

  2. Describe what needs to match

    Type 'match the lighting and color to look like same time of day as before photo' or 'adjust angle to match the before shot for fair comparison.' Be specific about what's different. The AI understands portfolio context—'make both photos look taken same day' or 'match the natural window light from before.'

    Tip: Upload both photos together if possible, or describe the before photo's lighting: 'bright morning light' or 'evening warm tones.'

    Copy one of these to get started:

    After photo taken different time of day than before match the lighting and color temperature to look like same time of day as the before photo

    After photo from different angle than before adjust perspective to match the same angle and viewpoint as the before photo for fair comparison
    Try This →
    Indoor lighting different between before and after match the indoor lighting to consistent brightness, make both photos look taken with same lights
    Try This →
    Color cast making after look worse remove the yellow/blue color cast, match neutral colors to the before photo
    Try This →

    Weather different between outdoor before and after match the sunny/cloudy conditions to show same weather as before for fair comparison

    Camera quality different between photos enhance the lower-quality photo to match resolution and sharpness of the better photo
    Try This →
    Background clutter distracting from transformation blur or clean up background to focus attention on the actual transformation area
    Try This →

  3. Review for fair comparison

    Check that lighting matches between before and after. Verify angles show the same perspective. Ensure colors are consistent so the transformation is the only difference. Fair comparisons build trust with potential clients.

  4. Refine if needed

    If lighting needs fine-tuning or angles need adjustment, describe the specific change and regenerate. Most portfolio comparisons work on the first try.

    Tip: Save your before photo specs (time of day, camera settings) so future afters can match from the start.

"My bathroom remodel photos were different times of day—before looked bright, after looked dingy. Matched the lighting in 20 seconds. Now they look like a legit transformation." @ContractorMike

Prompt: match the lighting and color temperature to look like same time of day as the before photo

If something looks off

Matched lighting looks too perfect or fake

Why: Heavy color correction can sometimes over-correct and look artificially processed.

Try: match lighting naturally, keep realistic imperfections and texture
Try This →

Tip: Add 'keep it looking real' to prevent the over-processed Instagram filter appearance.

Angle adjustment distorted the image

Why: Large perspective changes can introduce distortion if the original angle was very different.

Try: subtle perspective adjustment, maintain natural proportions
Try This →

Tip: For very different angles, it's better to retake the photo than try to fix with heavy perspective warping.

After photo now looks worse than before

Why: If the after was actually taken in better conditions, matching to worse before conditions hides your work.

Try: enhance the before photo instead to match the after's better lighting
Try This →

Tip: Match to the better photo, not the worse one—both should show the work at its best.

Colors don't quite match between photos

Why: Different cameras or auto-adjustments can create subtle color differences that are hard to perfectly match.

Try: Tap markers on specific areas that need color matching, then: match this area's color exactly to the before
Try This →

Tip: Focus on matching skin tones, walls, or other consistent elements rather than everything at once.

AI changed the wrong part of the photo

Why: Vague descriptions like 'match the lighting' when there are multiple light sources can be ambiguous.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area to adjust, then describe: match only this area's lighting
Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS specific light source or area.' Use them for complex lighting scenes.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark areas before describing what to match?

No! Just describe what needs matching: 'match the lighting to before photo' or 'adjust angle to match.' The AI understands portfolio photo context. Only use markers if you need to specify a particular area or light source when there are multiple in the scene.

Why do before-after photos need to match?

Fair comparisons build trust. If before is bright and after is dark (or vice versa), potential clients think you're manipulating the comparison. Matched lighting, angles, and conditions prove your work stands on its own merit. Mismatched comparisons look deceptive and reduce conversions. Professional portfolios show honest transformations with consistent photography.

Can I use these matched photos in my portfolio?

Yes. You're creating fair comparisons, not falsifying results. Matching lighting and angles removes photography variables so clients see your actual work. This is standard practice in professional portfolios. Don't alter the actual transformation (adding results that didn't happen), just standardize the photography conditions.

What should I match between before and after photos?

Match: (1) Time of day and lighting conditions, (2) Camera angle and distance, (3) Color temperature and white balance, (4) Resolution and image quality. The only difference should be your work. Everything else—photography conditions—should be identical for a fair comparison that highlights your transformation.

Should I match to the before or enhance the before to match the after?

Match to whichever photo has better conditions, usually the after. If your after photo has great lighting but before was dark, enhance the before to match the after's lighting. Both photos should present the space/person at their best photographic quality—the transformation is the only variable.
