Clean White Background Product Photo

Create a clean catalog image while retaining exact product shape and detail.

Edit the uploaded product photograph into a clean catalog image. Isolate the existing product on a uniform white background while preserving its silhouette, dimensions, color, material, seams, controls, and any existing markings. Do not invent text or repair unreadable labels by guessing. Center it with even margins, use soft studio light, and retain a faint natural contact shadow beneath the base so it is grounded. Remove dust and background clutter only. Keep transparent or reflective areas physically plausible and all product edges sharp without halos. Output a square composition.

Cinematic Rainy Night Street Edit

Rework a street portrait with believable wet surfaces and restrained neon light.

Edit the uploaded street portrait into a cinematic rainy evening. Keep the subject recognizable with unchanged anatomy, pose, clothing design, and street layout. Add fine rain visible mainly against darker areas, subtle dampness to outerwear, and shallow wet-pavement reflections. Introduce muted cyan ambient light and a warm shop-window glow that follow the scene geometry. Keep the face readable with natural skin color. Reflect only lights that have plausible sources. Preserve the original crop and avoid readable invented signs, oversized rain streaks, or a synthetic illustration look.

Dramatic Black and White Portrait

Create a textured monochrome portrait with controlled directional contrast.

Transform the uploaded portrait into a photographic black-and-white study. Preserve facial structure, expression, age, hairstyle, and visible clothing. Use a soft directional key from camera left, with a gradual shadow transition across the face and enough fill to retain the far eye. Separate dark clothing from the background through tonal contrast rather than an invented halo. Maintain pores and fine hair, luminous but unclipped highlights, and detailed blacks. Add very fine monochrome grain. Keep the original framing; do not add color tint or excessive sharpening.

Golden Hour Portrait Relighting

Give an existing outdoor portrait believable warm sunset light.

Relight the uploaded outdoor portrait as a natural golden-hour photograph. Preserve identity, pose, outfit, background structures, and camera position. Place the low warm sun behind the subject on camera right, adding a fine rim to hair and shoulders and soft neutral fill on the face. Make scene shadows agree with this direction. Keep skin color believable, protect bright detail, and use restrained warm highlights with slightly cooler shadows. Retain the original depth of field and aspect ratio. Avoid orange skin, artificial sun disks, and heavy lens flare.

Natural Professional Headshot

Turn a casual portrait into a polished, identity-preserving professional headshot.

Edit the uploaded portrait into a professional headshot. Preserve the person's facial proportions, age, skin tone, hairline, distinctive marks, and expression. Frame from the upper chest upward at eye level. Use a soft light-gray studio background, broad window-style key light, gentle fill, and realistic catchlights. Retain the existing clothing while removing only distracting lint or creases. Keep pores, natural under-eye texture, and individual hairs; do not reshape the face or whiten teeth beyond realism. Produce a clean 4:5 composition with comfortable headroom.
