Examples

1. Enhancing Product Photography

E-commerce Seller

Background

Product photos taken in natural light often look slightly dull and lack the professional 'pop' needed for a storefront.

Problem

The images look flat and fail to highlight the product's texture and color depth.

How to use

Upload the product image, set the contrast level to +25, and export as a high-quality PNG.

contrast: 25, format: png, quality: 100

Outcome

The product appears sharper with deeper shadows and brighter highlights, making it more appealing to customers.

2. Improving Scanned Document Readability

Student

Background

A scanned page of handwritten notes is difficult to read because the ink is faint against the paper background.

Problem

Low contrast makes the text blend into the background, causing eye strain.

How to use

Upload the scan, increase the contrast to +40, and save as a JPEG.
