Fix a Dark Photo

Recover a room shot against the light.

What it does

Most rooms get photographed against the window, which leaves everything else in silhouette. This recovers the exposure so the room reads properly — worth running before any other tool, since everything downstream works better from a photo you can see.

How to use it

  1. 1Upload the dark photo as it came off the phone.
  2. 2Run it before any remodel tool.
  3. 3Use the result as the input everywhere else.

Questions

Does it change the room?
No. Only exposure, contrast and colour balance.
Will it recover a completely black photo?
No — there has to be some detail in the shadows to work with.
