Fix harsh shadows, blown highlights and uneven exposure for bright, inviting photos.

Every image is edited by a specialist retoucher and quality-checked before delivery, so your listings look consistent, professional and ready to sell.

Most dealer photos are taken in whatever light the day gives you — harsh midday sun, a dark showroom corner, or a grey sky that flattens everything. Our car lighting correction service rebalances exposure and shadows so the car is bright, clear and evenly lit in every shot. Left alone, the camera records the weather and the room as much as the car.

Editors recover blown highlights on roofs and windscreens, open up the detail hidden in dark wheel arches and interiors, and even out the patchy contrast you get from mixed showroom lighting. Windows stop looking black, tyres show their tread again, and the body lines read properly from every angle. None of it is a one-click filter: each image is balanced by hand, because the front three-quarter and the interior shot never need the same fix.

Lighting work pairs with colour correction when a set needs both, and it is part of the standard pass in our dealer photo editing workflow. Send two problem photos through the free trial — the dark, difficult ones are exactly where this service proves itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

What lighting problems can you fix?
Blown highlights, dark shadows, uneven showroom lighting, dull overcast shots and interiors that are too dark to see. If the detail is in the file, we can usually bring it back.
How much does lighting correction cost?
It is $0.49 per image. Volume discounts apply automatically — 10% off at 100+ images and 15% off at 500+.
Can you fix photos taken at night or in a dark showroom?
Usually, yes. Modern phone and camera files hold a lot of shadow detail. Send us the worst example in a free trial and we will show you honestly what is recoverable.
Is lighting correction the same as colour correction?
They are close cousins. Lighting work fixes brightness, contrast and shadows; colour correction fixes the tones themselves. Many sets get both in one pass.
How fast is delivery?
Standard delivery is 24 hours. If a car is being listed today, choose Express (12 hours) or Same day when you order.
Will brightening make my photos look washed out?
No. We protect the highlights and keep contrast in the bodywork, so photos come back brighter but still rich — never flat or faded.
