What you will get

The same photo, lighter and softer: lifted shadows, gentle highlights, pastel or warm whites and a light film softness, with natural skin tones and nothing added to or removed from the scene.

Common mistake

Highlights wash out and window or sky detail disappears.

Fix: Keep “highlights soft without clipping” in the prompt and add “keep detail visible in the windows and sky”. Start from a photo that is not already overexposed.

Also watch for

Skin turns pale, grey or orange. Choose the warm whites option for people in warm light, and repeat “skin tones must stay natural”. Compare against the original before posting.
The photo looks flat and faded, not airy. Ask for “keep gentle contrast and a few true darks, so it feels bright but not washed out”.

Try a variation: moody warm variant

For a cosier look, swap the whites for “warm cream” and add “slightly deeper shadows and a soft golden tone”. Keep the same keep-the-content-unchanged line at the end.
