Editing Suggestions

What it does

Sends your photo to Google Gemini's vision model, which looks at the actual exposure, contrast, colour and framing in the shot and suggests specific post-processing edits — not generic editing tips, but advice grounded in what it sees in this particular photo.

What you'll need

• A photo (upload or take one with your camera) — ideally the shot as it came out of the camera, before you've already edited it, so the advice reflects what still needs doing.
• Explicit consent, given via the checkbox above, since your photo is sent to an AI service for this one.

Steps

1. Read and check the consent notice above.
2. Upload a photo or take one with your camera.
3. Tap "Analyze photo" and wait a few seconds for the suggestions.

Reading the result

The summary line is the single highest-priority fix; the four columns below break advice down by exposure, contrast, colour grading and crop. These are directions to apply in your own editor (Lightroom, Photoshop, or whatever you use) — CAPTD doesn't edit the photo for you.

Tips

• Suggestions are most useful as a second opinion before you post — compare them against your own eye rather than following them blindly.
• This tool is capped at a shared 30 AI analyses per month across Composition Analysis, Scene Recognition and Editing Suggestions.

What kind of editing advice does this give?

This tool sends your photo to Google Gemini's vision model, which looks at the actual exposure, contrast, colour and framing in the shot and suggests specific post-processing directions — not generic tips copied from a tutorial, but advice grounded in what it actually sees in this particular photo, broken down by exposure, contrast, colour grading and crop.

Why photographers use it

Not sure whether a shot needs more contrast, a different crop, or nothing at all? This gives a second opinion before you commit to an edit — a starting direction to weigh against your own eye, rather than opening your usual editor and guessing where to begin.

Common mistakes

• Following every suggestion literally without applying your own eye. this is a second opinion meant to be weighed against your own read of the shot, not a set of instructions to execute blindly — treat it as a comparison point, not a checklist.
• Uploading an already-edited version and expecting fresh, useful advice. the suggestions are grounded in what's actually visible in the file you upload. Analysing a version you've already corrected mutes the very issues the tool would otherwise catch — upload the shot as it came out of the camera when possible.
• Expecting the tool to edit the photo for you. it only gives written directions — "recover highlights in the sky," "add warmth to skin tones" — you still apply them yourself in Lightroom, Photoshop, or whatever editor you use.
• Skipping the summary line to jump straight to one category. the summary is the single highest-priority fix; the four columns below break it down further, but skipping the summary can mean missing the most impactful single change.
• Spending an analysis on a shot you're not actually going to edit. this shares its 30-per-month cap with Composition Analysis and Scene Recognition — save it for shots you're genuinely planning to post or refine.

Example settings

FAQ

Does this actually edit my photo?

No — it gives written directions only. You apply any changes yourself in your own editing software.

How is this different from Composition Analysis?

Composition Analysis focuses on framing and arrangement — rule of thirds, leading lines. Editing Suggestions focuses on post-processing directions — exposure, contrast, colour grading, crop. They're related but distinct, and you can run the same photo through both.

Is my photo stored after analysis?

No — it's deleted immediately after analysis, not retained. See the Privacy Policy for full details on data handling.

Can I ask it to match a specific editing style, like "moody" or "bright and airy"?

No — it gives general improvement suggestions based on what's technically off in the shot, not style-matching to a particular aesthetic. Treat its advice as a technical starting point you then push toward your own style.

Why is this tool capped at 30 analyses a month?

It shares that cap with Composition Analysis and Scene Recognition, since all three call an AI vision model with a real per-request cost. The browser-only tools — Sharpness, Exposure, Colour, Lens & Settings — have no cap.
