"Crystals look completely different in photos vs real life. EditThisPic finally shows the shimmer and color my customers actually receive. Returns dropped to almost zero." @CrystalMoonShop
Built for Etsy Crystal Sellers
Crystal buyers are visual shoppers who've been burned by inaccurate photos. They need to see the exact color, the internal structure, and the sparkle before committing. EditThisPic enhances crystal-specific qualities that phone cameras flatten - light play, translucency, and color accuracy - so buyers trust what they see.

How to Edit Your Crystal Product Photos
-
Upload your crystal photo
Drop your crystal, gemstone, or geode photo into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 7MB. Phone photos work well - even imperfect ones. The AI is designed for the challenges of photographing translucent and reflective minerals.
Color and sparkle enhancement: 15-20 seconds. Background swap with lighting fix: may need 2-3 refinements. -
Describe what your crystal needs
Type exactly what you want: 'make the amethyst purple accurate and enhance the sparkle' or 'show the translucency and internal rainbow inclusions.' Name your crystal type and its specific color - 'rose quartz should be soft pink, not gray' or 'labradorite flash should show blue-green.'
Name the specific mineral and its signature quality: 'labradorite flash,' 'amethyst depth,' or 'citrine warmth.' The AI adjusts for each mineral's unique optical properties. -
Verify color accuracy
This is the most important step for crystals. Hold your actual crystal up to the screen and compare. The purple, blue, green, or pink should match real life. Crystal buyers are highly sensitive to color differences - inaccurate photos lead to returns.
If the color isn't exactly right, be more specific: 'the amethyst should be deep violet-purple, not light lavender' gives the AI a clear target. -
Refine sparkle and detail
If specific facets or crystal points lost their sparkle, tap markers on those areas. For geodes with interior crystal formations, mark the inside to ensure the AI preserves and enhances the crystal structure rather than smoothing it.
For geodes, mark the interior crystal cavity - this tells the AI the sparkly inside is the product's best feature.
Copy-Paste Prompts for Crystal Sellers
enhance the crystal sparkle and light play, show how light catches each facet and surface, warm directional light from side, the crystal should look alive and shimmering
Side lighting catches crystal facets best - specifying light direction in your prompt creates the most realistic sparkle
correct the crystal color to match real life, the amethyst should be deep violet-purple with natural color zoning, not washed out lavender, accurate mineral color
Crystal color accuracy prevents returns - name the exact shade and describe any natural color variations
replace background with dark velvet or dark silk surface, crystal displayed elegantly, warm accent light catching the sparkle from left, premium collector display feel
Dark backgrounds make crystal colors pop dramatically - dark velvet is the industry standard for mineral photography
enhance the translucency of this crystal, show light passing through, internal inclusions and rainbows visible, the see-through quality should be obvious
Translucency is a major selling point for quartz and fluorite - backlight prompts help show the light-passing quality
Show 4 more prompts
enhance the crystal formations inside this geode, show the individual crystal points and druzy sparkle, warm light reaching into the cavity, rich interior detail
Geode interiors sell the piece - use markers on the cavity to ensure the AI enhances rather than smooths the formations
replace background with natural raw stone or driftwood surface, crystal displayed on natural element, warm earthy lighting, organic mineral collection aesthetic
Natural displays appeal to the spiritual/healing crystal market - earth elements feel authentic and grounding
enhance the labradorite flash to show the blue and green iridescence, capture the color play at this angle, the flash should be vivid and dramatic
Labradorite's flash only shows at certain angles - describe the specific colors in your stone's flash pattern
replace background with pure white, accurate crystal colors maintained, soft shadow for depth, professional mineral specimen photo
White backgrounds are standard for mineral specimen listings and required by some marketplaces

Common Crystal Photo Issues
Crystal color doesn't match real life after editing
Why: The AI may shift colors based on the new background or lighting, or the original photo had such poor color data that the AI guessed wrong.
correct the crystal color accurately, this is [mineral name] that should be [exact color description], maintain color accuracy above all else
Be extremely specific: 'deep violet-purple with slight blue zone at the tip' is better than 'make it more purple.'
Sparkle was added where there isn't any in reality
Why: The AI may add artificial sparkle effects when asked to enhance crystals, creating false expectations.
show the natural sparkle and light play that exists in this crystal, do not add artificial sparkle effects, realistic mineral photography
Use 'natural sparkle' instead of just 'sparkle' - this prevents the AI from adding fantasy glitter effects.
Translucent crystal lost its see-through quality
Why: Background changes can fill in the transparent areas with opaque material.
maintain the crystal's translucency, light should pass through the stone naturally, the see-through quality is a key feature to preserve
For translucent stones, simpler backgrounds work better. Complex backgrounds create unrealistic looking transparency.
Fine crystal points on clusters look blurry
Why: Tiny crystal terminations can be smoothed when the AI processes the overall image.
sharpen every individual crystal point and termination, each tiny crystal should be crisp and defined, mineral specimen detail quality
Mark individual crystal points on clusters to tell the AI they're important features, not noise to smooth.
Geode interior still looks too dark
Why: Deep cavities are challenging - the original photo may have very little data in those shadow areas.
brighten and reveal the interior crystal formations in the geode cavity, warm light reaching deep inside, show every crystal point inside
Try photographing with a small flashlight or phone light illuminating the geode interior before uploading.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the AI really capture crystal sparkle in a still photo?
The AI enhances the light play that already exists in your photo. It simulates directional lighting that catches crystal facets, bringing out the sparkle that flat lighting hides. The result looks like your crystal under ideal lighting conditions. For best results, try to capture at least some natural sparkle in your original photo - even a hint gives the AI something to enhance.
How do I ensure crystal color accuracy for my listings?
Name the exact mineral and color: 'amethyst deep violet-purple' or 'rose quartz soft warm pink, not gray.' After editing, hold your real crystal next to the screen and compare. If it's off, describe the difference: 'needs more blue undertone' or 'less saturated, more natural.' Color accuracy is the #1 factor in preventing crystal returns.
What background works best for crystals?
Dark backgrounds (black velvet, dark slate, dark wood) are the industry standard for mineral photography - they make crystal colors pop dramatically. White backgrounds work for clean, clinical specimen shots. Natural surfaces (raw stone, driftwood) appeal to the spiritual/healing crystal market. Match your background to your audience: collectors want dark, spiritual buyers want natural.
Can the AI show the inside of geodes?
Yes, the AI can brighten and enhance geode interiors. Say 'enhance the crystal formations inside, warm light reaching into the cavity.' For best results, tap markers on the interior crystal area. The AI works better when the original photo has at least some light reaching inside - try shining a phone flashlight into the geode before photographing.
How do I photograph labradorite flash?
Labradorite flash only appears at specific angles. Take your photo at the angle where flash is visible, then use 'enhance the labradorite flash, vivid blue-green iridescence.' The AI amplifies the flash that's already showing. If the original photo doesn't show any flash (wrong angle), the AI can't create it from nothing - you need to capture the right angle first.
Will the AI make my crystals look fake or over-edited?
Not when you use 'natural' and 'realistic' in your prompts. Say 'natural mineral photography, realistic sparkle, accurate colors.' The goal is making your crystal look like it does in person under ideal lighting - not adding fantasy effects. Crystal buyers are savvy and will distrust photos that look too perfect or artificially enhanced.
