Image Quality Enhancer Settings: Optimal Configuration for Vehicle Photos

Image quality enhancer settings determine whether your vehicle background photos look professionally polished or artificially processed. Car background quality plays a critical role in this process. This guide provides optimal configuration recommendations for each enhancement type.

Exposure and Lighting Settings

Brightness/Exposure

Optimal range: +5 to +20 for underexposed photos. Avoid exceeding +30.

Warning signs: Loss of highlight detail, unnatural brightness.

Shadow Recovery

Optimal range: +15 to +40 for interior visibility.

Warning signs: Noise amplification, HDR glow effect.

Contrast

Optimal range: +5 to +15 for most vehicle photos.

Warning signs: Lost shadow detail, harsh transitions.

Color Settings

Saturation

Optimal range: +5 to +15 maximum. Easy to overdo.

Warning signs: Glowing colors, paint color inaccuracy.

The CarBG Angle (FAQ Bits)

What if my photos need heavy correction?

If photos require extreme settings, recapturing may be more effective than aggressive enhancement.

Should I use the same settings for all photos?

Use consistent settings within vehicle sets. Different conditions may need different baselines.

How do I know if settings are too aggressive?

If enhancement is visible to viewers, settings are too aggressive.

What is the most common mistake?

Over-saturation is the most common error. Color intensity crosses into artificial territory quickly.

Do settings need adjustment for different vehicle colors?

White and black are more sensitive. Red saturates easily. Adjust conservatively for these colors.

Can I save settings as presets?

Yes. Create presets for different scenarios and apply consistently.
