Built for Reverb Sellers

Reflections on glossy guitar finishes obscure true finish color and condition
Showing honest wear and condition (fret wear, dings, scratches) is critical but hard to photograph
Messy studio backgrounds with cables, pedals, and gear look unprofessional
Lighting creates harsh shadows that hide important details
Clean listings get more views, but professional photography is expensive for every gear piece

Reverb buyers need to see exact condition—every scratch, every fret wear mark, every finish detail. Reflections and messy backgrounds distract from what matters. EditThisPic removes reflections from glossy finishes, enhances critical details like fret condition, and cleans up studio clutter. Show honest condition in professional-looking photos.

Tools Music Gear Sellers Use Most

Create Professional Reverb Listing Photos

  1. Upload your gear photo

    Drop your instrument or gear image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Phone photos work great if you have decent lighting. Natural window light is ideal for showing true finish color and condition.

    Simple edits like background blur: 15-20 seconds. Reflection removal on complex finishes: may need 2-3 refinements for perfect results.
  2. Describe what you want to fix

    Type 'remove reflections from guitar body and show true finish' or 'blur messy studio background behind the amplifier.' The AI understands music gear terminology. Be specific about what to preserve: 'show all fret wear and dings accurately' ensures honest condition photos.

    For vintage gear, add 'preserve natural aging and patina' to keep authentic vintage character visible.
  3. Review details at full zoom

    Zoom in to check critical areas: fret condition, finish checking, serial numbers, wear patterns. Verify reflections are gone and true finish color is visible. Check that all honest wear is still shown—buyers need to see real condition.

    Compare before/after to ensure no condition details were accidentally enhanced or hidden.
  4. Refine specific areas if needed

    If reflections remain in some spots or edge details need work, tap markers on those areas and regenerate. Complex finishes like flame maple or sunburst sometimes need edge refinement. Most gear photos work perfectly on first try.

    For intricate hardware (tuners, bridges), tap markers on those areas to preserve fine details during background cleanup.

Common Music Gear Photo Issues

Reflections still visible on glossy finish after first attempt

Why: Complex reflections on curved surfaces or highly reflective finishes sometimes need refinement. The AI may have preserved some for realism.

Try: remove all reflections from guitar body completely, show perfectly clean glossy finish

Adding 'completely' or 'all reflections' tells the AI to be more aggressive. May need markers on stubborn spots.

Fret wear or scratches look too enhanced or unnatural

Why: Heavy detail enhancement can exaggerate wear. The AI amplified texture across the whole instrument.

Try: enhance fret condition details moderately, preserve natural appearance and accurate wear

Use 'moderately' or 'subtle enhancement' for more natural-looking detail boost.

Background blur made the instrument edges soft too

Why: The AI couldn't distinguish the instrument edge from the background, especially on dark instruments against dark backgrounds.

Try: blur only the background behind the instrument, keep the entire instrument perfectly sharp

Tap markers on the instrument body areas that went soft, then regenerate.

Finish color looks different after reflection removal

Why: Removing heavy reflections changes how colors appear. The original color was influenced by the reflection's brightness.

Try: remove reflections from guitar body, preserve original accurate finish color exactly

If color still drifts, add 'vintage tobacco sunburst' or your specific finish name to the prompt.

Serial number or small text on headstock is blurry

Why: The AI over-smoothed during background processing. Small text is vulnerable to blur.

Try: replace background with clean neutral gray, preserve all headstock text and serial numbers with maximum sharpness

Shoot serial numbers at higher resolution when possible. Sharper source = better preservation.

AI changed the wrong area or affected the instrument itself

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone. This happens with ambiguous requests.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to change, then regenerate with the same prompt

Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS area specifically.' Essential for complex finishes or mixed materials.

Reverb Seller Questions

Do I need to mark the reflection or background before describing?

No! Just type 'remove reflections from guitar body' and the AI handles it. EditThisPic understands what 'reflection' and 'background' mean without any selection. Only use markers if you need precision—like preserving specific hardware details during background cleanup, or targeting stubborn reflection spots after your first attempt.

Will this hide honest wear and condition issues?

No. EditThisPic removes reflections, clutter, and distractions—not condition issues. When you use prompts like 'enhance details to show fret condition accurately,' it makes wear MORE visible, not less. The goal is honest, clear photos that show true condition without distractions. Always compare before/after to verify condition is preserved.

How do I handle reflections on curved glossy finishes like Les Pauls?

Start with 'remove reflections from guitar body, show true finish color.' Curved glossy finishes are tricky and may need 2-3 refinements. If reflections remain after first try, tap markers on those spots and regenerate. Adding 'completely' to your prompt makes the AI more aggressive: 'remove all reflections completely from guitar finish.'

What's the best way to photograph guitars for Reverb to get clean edits?

Natural window light works best—indirect daylight near a window without direct sun. Avoid overhead lights that create harsh reflections. Shoot against a simple, uncluttered background if possible. Even messy backgrounds can be cleaned, but simple backgrounds make edits faster and more accurate.

Can I use phone camera photos or do I need professional equipment?

Phone photos work great. The key is good lighting when you shoot—natural daylight near a window is ideal. The AI can remove reflections, clean backgrounds, and enhance details, but it cannot fix extremely blurry or dark originals. If you can see the details clearly on your phone screen, EditThisPic can work with it.

Is EditThisPic's AI photo editor for reverb photos really free?

Yes — you get 1 free edit per week, no account needed. For unlimited edits, plans start at $3.99/month.

Can I reverb photos on my phone?

Yes. EditThisPic works in any mobile browser — iPhone, Android, tablet. No app download needed.

What photo formats does the AI photo editor for reverb photos support?

JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC. Upload any common photo format and EditThisPic handles the rest.
