Luxury Watch Lighting Upgrade

Enhance a watch photo with controlled reflections and rich material detail.

Prompt

Refine the uploaded watch photograph into a luxury product editorial. Keep the exact case shape, dial layout, hands, indices, crown, strap, and readable markings unchanged. Place the watch on dark slate with a discreet contact shadow. Use a broad overhead strip reflection on the metal and a narrow side highlight to describe the case edges. Keep the crystal clear enough to reveal the original dial; avoid inventing machinery or digits. Preserve realistic brushed and polished finishes, detailed blacks, and a restrained charcoal palette. Use a square composition with the whole watch visible.

Clean Document Photo to Scan Look

Improve a photographed page while preserving every visible mark and word.

Clean the uploaded photograph of a document into a readable scan-like image. Correct page perspective and rotation, preserve the full page boundaries, and even out illumination by reducing cast shadows and glare where existing detail supports recovery. Keep all original text, numbers, signatures, stamps, handwriting, annotations, and diagrams exactly as visible. Preserve intentional paper color and meaningful colored markings. Do not rewrite text, change content, remove marks, or invent obscured characters; if key content is unreadable, request a clearer photograph. Use gentle sharpening and retain the page's natural proportions.

Seamless Photo Expansion for a Wide Crop

Extend a photograph horizontally while protecting the original subject.

Expand the uploaded photograph horizontally to a 16:9 composition without cropping the original subject. Keep the original image region unchanged as closely as possible, including identity, pose, object placement, and focal detail. Extend only the side areas, continuing the background's perspective, light, texture, depth of field, and horizon. Prefer simple plausible scene continuation; do not add people, text, landmarks, or prominent new objects. Avoid duplicating existing objects or stretching the image. Keep the subject at its original scale and blend the extension boundaries invisibly.

Architectural Perspective Correction

Straighten building geometry while preserving realistic proportions.

Correct perspective in the uploaded architecture photograph. Make true vertical building edges parallel and level the horizon using the scene's actual geometry. Preserve the building's design, floor count, facade pattern, doors, windows, and material texture. Retain a natural sense of depth; do not force every receding horizontal line to be parallel. Use the smallest crop needed to remove empty transformed corners, and do not invent missing facade sections. Keep people and vehicles proportionate. Maintain the original light and color, with modest detail sharpening only.

Automotive Editorial Photo Enhancement

Refine car lighting and reflections while preserving the exact vehicle.

Enhance the uploaded car photograph into a clean automotive editorial. Preserve the vehicle's make-specific body shape, wheels, trim, lights, mirrors, paint color, and visible markings without guessing unreadable text. Keep its original location and camera angle. Remove minor dust and distracting surface smudges, then use broad soft highlights to define panels while retaining reflections consistent with the surroundings. Balance exposure under wheel arches, preserve tire tread and road contact shadows, and keep windows believable. Do not redesign the car, lower the suspension, add branding, or replace the scene. Retain the original aspect ratio.

Fine Art Pet Portrait

Create a softly lit pet portrait that preserves individual markings.

Edit the uploaded pet photo into an elegant photographic portrait. Preserve the animal's species, breed characteristics, exact coat markings, muzzle shape, eye color, ear shape, and expression. Replace the background with a soft warm-gray studio backdrop, keeping the existing pose and a believable support surface if visible. Use broad side light, gentle fill, detailed fur, and small natural catchlights. Retain whiskers and fine ear hair. Do not humanize the animal, add accessories, change its proportions, or apply painterly effects. Frame vertically at 4:5 with ears fully visible.

Subtle Film Look for Travel Photos

Give travel images a restrained analog finish without changing their content.

Apply a subtle analog-film treatment to the uploaded travel photograph. Preserve all people, objects, architecture, perspective, and composition. Use gently warm highlights, slightly cool shadows, restrained greens, and a soft highlight roll-off while keeping natural skin tones and detailed blacks. Add fine, irregular photographic grain scaled to the image rather than coarse noise. Retain clear subject detail and moderate contrast. Do not add date stamps, borders, dust, scratches, light leaks, or new elements. Keep the original aspect ratio and avoid heavy orange-and-teal grading.
