Photo edit prompt
Relight a flat photo with golden-hour light
Relight a flat photo with golden-hour light: a free, copy-paste prompt for Gemini and ChatGPT. Upload your photo, paste the prompt, and fill in any [BRACKETED] fields.
The prompt
Relight this photo as if it was taken at golden hour, about 30 minutes before sunset. Warm side light from [LEFT / RIGHT], soft rim light on hair, gentle lens glow and slightly deeper shadows. Keep the person, clothing, pose and background exactly as they are. Do not change the face or add objects. Natural colours, no heavy filter look.
Pro tip: Works best on outdoor photos taken in flat midday or cloudy light.

Frequently asked questions
Which AI tools work with this prompt?
It is written for Gemini and ChatGPT. Both can edit a photo you upload.
What do I need to fill in?
Replace the field before you send it: LEFT / RIGHT. Each field shows an example in the prompt.
Will the AI change my face?
The prompt tells the AI to keep faces and identities the same, but results vary between runs. If a face drifts, regenerate or reply "keep the face identical to the original".
Is my photo uploaded to PromptUp?
No. PromptUp only gives you the text of the prompt. You upload your photo directly to the AI tool you choose, under that tool's own privacy terms.
