Car buyers browse dozens of listings, and the cars that look clean, bright and consistent stand out. Automotive editing makes vehicles look their best on forecourt websites and marketplaces, while staying accurate about condition.
We edit for dealers, car photographers and private sellers: background replacement, reflection clean-up, colour correction and consistent framing.
Common challenges we solve
Busy backgrounds
Forecourts and streets distract from the car. We replace or clean them.
Reflections
Glossy paint reflects everything around it.
Consistency
Stock photographed on different days should look like one fleet.
Honesty
We do not hide scratches, dents or damage.
Services we recommend
- Background Removal Service – Clean white, transparent or custom backgrounds for product, people and marketplace images, cut by hand.
- Image Masking Service – Layer, channel and alpha masking for hair, fur, lace, glass and smoke: the edges a clipping path cannot handle.
- Colour Correction Service – Accurate colour, white balance and exposure so products look the same on screen as they do in the box.
- Shadow Creation Service – Natural, drop, reflection and cast shadows that ground cut-out products and make them look real on white.
- Photo Retouching Service – Natural, careful retouching for products and people: dust, blemishes, reflections and distractions removed without the plastic look.
Shooting tips that make editing better
- Shoot each car from the same set of angles.
- Avoid harsh midday sun; overcast light is easier to edit.
- Clean the car and remove number plate holders you do not want shown.
- Tell us if plates should be blurred.
What better images do for automotive
Good photos do more than look nice. They answer questions before a customer has to ask, they make a business look established and trustworthy, and they reduce the gap between what people expect and what they receive. That last point matters: when images are accurate, fewer orders come back and fewer reviews mention that something looked different online.
Consistency is just as important as quality. A page where every image shares the same background, light and framing feels calm and professional. A page where each image looks different makes people work harder to compare, and many simply leave. Editing is the most practical way to get that consistency, especially when photos are taken on different days, by different people or with different equipment.
Our quality checklist
- Every image checked at full size before delivery.
- Edges reviewed on contrasting backgrounds.
- Colour compared against the original or your reference.
- Consistent margins, alignment and naming across the batch.
- A second editor signs off each file.
Files and delivery
We accept JPG, PNG, TIFF, PSD, HEIC and most camera RAW formats, shared by upload or a Google Drive, Dropbox or WeTransfer link. We deliver in the format, size and colour profile you need, whether that is web-ready JPGs, transparent PNGs, layered PSDs for your designers or print-ready TIFFs. Your file names and folder structure are kept so everything drops straight back into your workflow. Delivery times depend on volume and complexity, and we confirm a firm deadline with every quote.
How working with us looks
You send a few sample images and tell us where they will be used. We edit them free so you can check quality and style. Once you are happy, we agree a per-image price and a delivery time, save your style preferences, and every future batch follows the same rules. You can ask for changes on any image at no extra cost.
We never use your images in our own marketing without written permission, and you keep full rights to everything we deliver.
