Built for Architect Portfolio Professionals

Built projects look different from renderings β€” need enhancement to match vision
Construction site documentation is messy and poorly lit
Sky and weather affect how buildings photograph
Material and facade details need visibility at building scale
Interior architectural spaces have extreme lighting contrast
Model photography needs clean controlled lighting

Architecture is experienced visually. Your portfolio needs to show spatial quality, materiality, and design intent β€” whether in built projects, models, or presentation materials. EditThisPic elevates architectural photography to publication quality.

Common Issues

Edit affected areas you didn't want changed

Why: AI sometimes applies changes too broadly across the image

Try: only edit the specific area I marked, leave everything else exactly the same

Use tap markers to precisely indicate what should change β€” everything else stays

Result looks over-processed or artificial

Why: AI can over-correct, creating an unnatural or HDR-like appearance

Try: make the edit look natural and subtle, not over-processed

Adding 'natural and subtle' to any prompt helps keep results realistic

Colors shifted or look wrong after the edit

Why: Brightness and exposure changes can inadvertently alter color balance

Try: correct the edit but preserve the original color tones

Mention 'preserve original colors' when you only want one specific change

Photo still doesn't look quite right after one edit

Why: Complex issues may need multiple targeted adjustments

Try: refine the previous edit β€” make it slightly more natural and polished

Multiple focused passes often produce better results than one big edit

FAQ

How do I photograph buildings in bad weather?

Photograph anyway for documentation. The AI can dramatically improve sky conditions and lighting, turning an overcast documentation shot into a publication-quality portfolio image.

Should I include construction photos in my portfolio?

Yes. Enhanced construction documentation shows process and builds client confidence. Include key milestones and completion comparisons.

What about architectural model photos?

Clean background, even lighting, and careful angles make model photos look professional. Enhancement adds the studio quality that impresses competition juries.

How do I balance interior architectural photos?

Shoot with windows properly exposed, then enhance to recover the darker interior. Or shoot for the interior and let the AI balance the windows. Either approach works.

Can I enhance rendering images?

Yes. Even 3D renderings benefit from enhancement β€” improved lighting, color grading, and atmospheric effects elevate presentation quality.

Is this free?

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