When Things Go Wrong

Photo looks over-enhanced

Why: AI applied too aggressive effects.

Try: subtle, natural enhancement - slightly brighter, slightly sharper

Use 'subtle' or 'natural' for gentle improvements.

Colors too saturated

Why: Color boost overdone.

Try: accurate natural colors, not oversaturated

Add 'accurate' to keep colors realistic.

Details got smoothed

Why: Enhancement smoothed textures.

Try: preserve all details and texture, only fix lighting and background

Specify 'preserve details' for textured items.

Background looks pasted

Why: Lighting mismatch.

Try: match item lighting to white background, add shadow

Shadow grounds the item naturally.

Flaws more visible after brightening

Why: Brightening shows everything more clearly.

Try: brighten but keep wear marks at natural visibility

This is actually good for honest selling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do better photos really help sell faster on Craigslist?

Yes. This is the single biggest factor. Better photos get more clicks, attract serious buyers, and result in faster sales at better prices. Multiple studies show 2-3x faster sales.

Is enhancing photos dishonest?

Not if done honestly. Brightening, cleaning backgrounds, and fixing lighting show the item as it actually looks in good conditions. Don't remove defects or misrepresent condition.

How many photos should I enhance?

All of them. 3-5 photos with consistent editing creates a professional listing. Main photo, detail shots, condition, and accessories.

Will I get higher prices?

Better photos justify fair prices. When buyers see an item clearly in good condition, they're less likely to lowball. You get fair value faster.

How is this different from phone filters?

Filters apply generic effects. EditThisPic's AI understands your specific photo and fixes its specific problems intelligently.

Does Craigslist rank listings by photo quality?

Craigslist's search is simpler than OfferUp, but buyers still choose which listings to click based on the thumbnail photo. Better photos get more clicks.
