✅ Great example: Bright daylight with clean background
Use Soft Daylight
Shoot in the morning or late afternoon to avoid harsh shadows. Natural light reveals paint depth and body lines.
Pro Tip: Cloudy days are perfect—no need for studio lights.
Photo Good Practices
Capture Photos That Enhance Beautifully
Follow these tips before you upload. Better source material means faster processing, cleaner backgrounds, and more realistic lighting.
Do This Before You Upload
✅ Great example: Bright daylight with clean background
Pick Clean Backgrounds
Driveways, open streets, or rooftops with minimal clutter allow AI to isolate the car quickly.
Pro Tip: Remove trash bins, tools, and people from the frame before shooting.
✅ Great example: Bright daylight with clean background
Frame at 45°
Stand at eye level and capture the front three-quarter angle so wheels, grille, and roofline all show.
Pro Tip: Take at least one full side profile and one rear three-quarter shot for variety.
Avoid These Pitfalls
⚠️ Poor example: Dim lighting and heavy distractions
Avoid Night Shots
Headlights and street lamps blow out details and make correction difficult.
Fix it: If you must shoot indoors, ensure even lighting across the entire vehicle.
⚠️ Poor example: Dim lighting and heavy distractions
Skip Busy Parking Lots
Rows of cars, signposts, or pedestrians anchor the background and reduce enhancement quality.
Fix it: Move the car a few feet to an open space before shooting.
⚠️ Poor example: Dim lighting and heavy distractions
Don’t Crop Components
Cutting off bumpers, mirrors, or the roof leaves the AI guessing what it should restore.
Fix it: Step back until the entire vehicle fits comfortably within the frame.
Final Reminder
AutoPhotoPro enhances lighting, color, reflections, and backgrounds. We cannot recreate missing body panels, repair extreme lens distortion, or fully recover detail from blurry images. Uploading low-quality, obstructed, or extreme-angle photos limits the final result. By submitting images you acknowledge we are not responsible for outcomes when the source image quality is insufficient.
