Photo Critique & Edit Plan

Get an honest read on why a photo isn't working — composition, light, distractions — plus the specific edits worth making before you open an editor.

The prompt

Critique the attached photo as a working photo editor would. Cover composition, light, colour, and distracting elements. Name the single biggest problem first, say whether it's fixable in post or needs a reshoot, then give me an ordered edit plan of at most 5 concrete steps. Skip compliments I can't act on:

{{intended_use}}

Works in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and other assistants. Replace the highlighted placeholders with your own content.

How to use it

Attach the photo and state its {{intended_use}}, for example a profile picture or a print. You get an honest read on composition, light and distractions, with specific edits to fix them.

Tips for better results

  • The intended use changes the advice, so be specific.
  • Apply the edits one at a time and compare.
  • Ask which single change would help the most.
