Soften the dark shadow that a flash threw on the wall
A flash fired straight at a group puts a hard dark shadow of each person on the wall behind. It looks like a second person standing there. Send a photo of the print and the bot softens the shadows and evens out the light across the scene.

Make it in TelegramShadows on a wall
A shadow thrown behind a person is a copy of the outline in darkness. The bot lightens the wall and keeps the outline of the person clear, so the people stop looking pinned to the wall. Where a shadow touches a shoulder or hair, the edge is delicate, and a close look will show whether the transition is clean. A soft edge looks more natural than a perfect one.
Keep the party mood
Hard shadows are a sign of the moment, a camera in a hurry at a busy table. You may decide that a mild fix is enough. Ask for the shadows to be softened, not erased, and review the result next to the original. Many people prefer a middle path. Save the best version and print it, and keep the other copy in the folder as a record of the evening.
Tips
- Point out the strongest shadow.
- Say what color the wall is.
- Ask for a gentle change if the picture has a cozy feel.
- Compare the result with a flat view of the original.
