What you will get

Your team photo with boxes, cables and signs removed and a clean office or plain wall behind, while faces, expressions, clothes and positions stay the same.

Why it works

Team photos are often taken in messy offices, so the prompt removes named clutter and swaps the background for a clean office or plain wall. The strict rule not to change faces, expressions, clothing or positions keeps everyone looking like themselves, which matters on a company page. Evening out the light on faces at the same time, as the tip says, makes the group look like one photo.

Common mistake

Someone’s face changes in the edit.

Fix: Upload the highest resolution photo you have and say “do not change any person” before the background details.

Also watch for

Clutter is removed but leaves smudges. List each item to remove and what should be behind it, such as “plain grey wall where the boxes are”.
Edges of hair look cut out. Ask for natural hair edges and the same light on the new background as on the people.

Try a variation: use brand colours

Replace the background with a soft wall in your brand colour, slightly out of focus, for a team page.

Still not right? Reply with this

Keep every face exactly as in the original. Make the lighting on all faces even and natural, so nobody looks darker or brighter than the rest.
