Common Issues

Overexposed sky washes out the scene

Why: Bright sky causes camera to underexpose subjects or blow out the background

Try: balance the exposure β€” darken the bright sky and brighten the subjects

Mentioning both sky and subjects helps AI adjust each independently

Motion blur on fast-moving athletes

Why: Action happens too fast for phone cameras in auto mode

Try: sharpen the moving athlete, reduce motion blur while keeping the action feel

Use a tap marker directly on the athlete for targeted sharpening

Fence, net, or barrier blocking the shot

Why: Sports venues have safety barriers between spectators and the field

Try: remove the fence and net in front of the action

AI handles chain-link and mesh removal well β€” just mark the area

Harsh midday shadows on outdoor action

Why: Direct overhead sun creates deep shadows under hats, visors, and brows

Try: fill in the harsh shadows on faces, brighten under the cap and visor

Specify 'under the cap' so AI targets the shadow without overexposing

Frequently Asked Questions

Can AI really fix motion blur?

It can significantly reduce it. Light to moderate motion blur recovers well with clear detail. Heavy motion blur (large streaks) will improve but may not become razor-sharp. Results depend on blur severity.

Does this work for kids' sports photos?

Yes. Youth sports photos are the most common use case β€” parents shooting from the sidelines with phones. The same prompts work whether it's T-ball or high school football.

What about indoor sports?

Indoor sports combine dim lighting with motion blur β€” the worst combination. Use Smart mode and add 'brighten' to the prompt for the best results.
