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
Can this replace professional school portrait services?
For budget-constrained schools, yes. While dedicated portrait studios offer controlled environments, EditThisPic can standardize photos taken with phone cameras to a similar quality level at a fraction of the cost.
How do we handle hundreds of student portraits?
Take all photos against the same plain wall, then batch process with the same enhancement prompt. Consistent raw photos plus consistent enhancement creates uniform results.
Will this work for sports action shots?
Yes. The AI can brighten dark gym photos, enhance outdoor field shots, and make action moments clearer. It works especially well on the lighting issues common in school sports photography.
Can yearbook staff students use this?
Absolutely. The simple prompt-based interface requires no photo editing expertise. Student yearbook staff can enhance photos themselves.
What about candid and event photos?
These benefit the most from enhancement. School event lighting is typically poor. The AI can recover detail and correct color in ways that make candid shots publication-worthy.
Is this free?
Yes — 1 free edit per week, no account needed. For yearbook projects, plans start at $3.99/month.
