ChatGPT Prompts for Photo Editing

I need you to edit this portrait photo professionally. Please: 1) Enhance skin tone with natural smoothing while keeping texture visible, 2) Brighten eyes and add subtle sparkle, 3) Whiten teeth naturally without making them look artificial, 4) Adjust lighting to create a soft, flattering glow, 5) Slightly blur the background to make the subject stand out, 6) Fix any minor blemishes or distractions, 7) Enhance color vibrancy while maintaining natural tones, 8) Add subtle contrast to make the image pop. Keep all changes natural and realistic.

Transform this photo into a vintage film aesthetic. Apply these edits: 1) Add warm, golden-orange tones reminiscent of 1970s film photography, 2) Introduce subtle grain texture to mimic film stock, 3) Slightly reduce contrast for that faded, nostalgic look, 4) Add a gentle vignette around the edges, 5) Desaturate colors slightly but keep warmth in highlights, 6) Create soft, dreamy lighting with reduced sharpness, 7) Add subtle light leaks or film burn effects in corners if appropriate. The final result should look like it was shot on expired Kodak film.

Apply cinematic color grading to this photo with the following specifications: 1) Implement a teal and orange color scheme (push shadows toward teal/cyan, push highlights toward warm orange), 2) Increase contrast significantly for dramatic depth, 3) Crush blacks slightly for a film-noir inspired look, 4) Add subtle bloom to highlights for a cinematic glow, 5) Desaturate midtones while keeping vibrant accents in highlights and shadows, 6) Create depth with split-toning, 7) Add film grain for texture, 8) Ensure skin tones remain natural despite the dramatic grading. The result should look like a frame from a blockbuster movie.

Enhance this landscape photo with natural, realistic adjustments: 1) Boost sky detail and add drama to clouds without over-processing, 2) Enhance green tones in foliage and grass for richness, 3) Increase overall vibrancy while keeping colors believable, 4) Sharpen details in foreground elements, 5) Add subtle graduated filter from top to bottom for balanced exposure, 6) Enhance golden hour warmth if sunset/sunrise, or cool tones if blue hour, 7) Increase clarity for enhanced texture in rocks, trees, and terrain, 8) Remove any distracting elements like power lines or trash. Keep the scene natural and believable.

Edit this photo for a high-fashion editorial look: 1) Create bold, saturated colors with emphasis on complementary color palettes, 2) Apply sharp, crisp details with high clarity, 3) Add high contrast with deep blacks and bright highlights, 4) Implement advanced skin retouching with frequency separation technique, 5) Enhance clothing textures and fabric details, 6) Create separation between subject and background with selective focus, 7) Add subtle color grading that matches current fashion trends, 8) Make the overall aesthetic clean, modern, and magazine-ready. The result should look like it belongs in Vogue or Harper's Bazaar.

Transform this image into a moody, dark, and atmospheric photograph: 1) Lower overall exposure while preserving key highlights, 2) Push shadows to near-black for dramatic depth, 3) Add cool-toned color grading (blues, teals, desaturated greens), 4) Introduce atmospheric haze or fog if scene allows, 5) Use selective dodging to highlight the main subject subtly, 6) Add grain for gritty texture, 7) Reduce color saturation for a desaturated, melancholic feel, 8) Create mystery by obscuring some details in shadow. The mood should feel contemplative, mysterious, and emotionally evocative.
