Seven everyday image edits for a small business

Processes that need more than one tool

Each process below uses several tools, each for the job it does best. Any AI chat assistant works where one is named.

1. Fix a team photo

   Tools, in order: Fotor → YouCam

   1. Correct light and sharpness of the team photo in Fotor.
   2. Fix only small agreed things, such as a closed eye, in YouCam, and show the result to everyone in the photo.

   The prompt for this process

   I am fixing a team photo: light and sharpness in Fotor, small retouching in YouCam.
   
   What is wrong with the photo: [describe]
   What each person agreed to: [e.g. fix closed eyes only]
   
   List the edits to make in order, and for each one say what must stay unchanged (faces, bodies, skin, clothes). Then write a short message asking everyone in the photo to approve the final version.
   
   Start with the edit list.

2. Menu or poster image

   Tools, in order: Higgsfield → a design tool

   1. Generate a simple background for the season or event in Higgsfield.
   2. Add your real text, prices and dates in a design tool and check them against the source.

   The prompt for this process

   Write a background image prompt for Higgsfield for my [menu or poster].
   
   Business: [what you do]
   Event or season: [describe]
   Space needed for text: [e.g. top half empty]
   
   Write 3 prompts of at most 30 words each: no text in the image, no people, no children, no animals, plain area left for my text. Then write a checklist to compare every price and date on the final design with my source list.
   
   Start with prompt 1.

3. Remove clutter from a shop photo

   Tools, in order: YouCam → Fotor

   1. Remove passing clutter such as boxes, cables or cars in YouCam.
   2. Sharpen the result in Fotor and compare it with the original side by side.

   The prompt for this process

   I am removing clutter from a photo of my shop in YouCam, then sharpening it in Fotor.
   
   What the photo shows: [describe]
   What I want removed: [e.g. delivery boxes, a cable]
   
   For each item, say whether removing it could mislead a visitor (is it always there when they arrive). List what must stay exactly as it is: room size, walls, furniture, signs. Then write the removal instruction for the items that are fine to remove.
   
   Start with the check.

4. Edit with a prompt

   Tools, in order: any AI chat assistant → Fotor

   1. Ask a chat assistant that edits images for one change at a time, saying what must stay the same.
   2. Fix light and sharpness of the kept result in Fotor.

   The prompt for this process

   Help me write one-change image edit prompts.
   
   The photo: [describe]
   Changes I want: [list]
   
   For each change, write a prompt of at most 30 words with two parts: what to change, and what must stay exactly the same (product, colour, label, faces, room). One change per prompt. Then say which change carries the highest risk of altering something else, and what to compare after it.
   
   Start with change 1.

5. Product, banner and profile picture

   Tools, in order: Fotor → a design tool

   1. Remove the background and fix the light of the product photo in Fotor.
   2. Crop the banner and the profile picture to the sizes your site and platforms need in a design tool.

   The prompt for this process

   I need three finished images: a product photo, a website banner and a profile picture.
   
   Source photos: [describe]
   Sizes: [banner size, profile size, product size]
   Where each is used: [describe]
   
   For each image, list: crop and size, what the clean-up in Fotor should fix (background, light, sharpness), what must not change about the product, and one check before upload.
   
   Start with the product photo.
