Free Spotlight toolQuick answer
Drone photographers use PhotoEdit Spotlight to highlight a property, plot or garden in aerial photos. Draw a boundary around the subject and fade, darken, blur or convert everything outside to black and white — free in the browser, with no Photoshop, account or upload required.
Use Spotlight: upload the drone frame, draw around the house, plot or garden, then choose an effect that fades everything outside the selection. Export a clean JPG, PNG or WebP ready for portals and brochures.
No. Spotlight handles the common aerial marketing edit — keeping the subject clear while the neighbourhood falls back — free in the browser without layers, masks or desktop software.
Yes. Spotlight is free in PhotoEdit Studio. Your image is processed locally on your device, with no account required to start.
Drone photography sells context — the house in its street, the garden against the fields, the development in the landscape. Buyers still need to know which plot is for sale. A wide colour frame alone often leaves that unclear.
Spotlight is built for that moment. Draw a simple boundary around the property and garden, then fade everything outside with Classic black and white, Focus, Brochure outline, Dark or Blur. The subject stays sharp; the surroundings step back.
It runs free in PhotoEdit, locally in the browser. When you also need crop, straighten or tone work, the full editor is one click away — but for aerial marketing packs, Spotlight is the main tool.
Step-by-step
From a wide aerial frame to a clear, plot-focused marketing image — in three steps.
Drop in an aerial JPG, PNG or WEBP. Processing stays on your device — nothing is uploaded to a server.
Trace the plot, building or garden with a simple polygon. Adjust points until the selection is clean.
Choose Classic, Focus, Brochure, Dark or Blur, then export a marketing-ready image at full resolution.
Spotlight first
The tool that turns neighbourhood context into a clear “this one” signal for listings and brochures.
Keep the house and garden in full colour while streets, fields and neighbours fade back.
Wide drone shots are exactly where Spotlight shines — portals, brochures and auction packs.
Everything runs locally in the browser. No upload, no AI processing, no remote storage.
Deliver a polished aerial highlight between shoots without opening desktop software.
Example use cases
Real ways property professionals put this to work every day.
Show which house and garden are for sale from above.
Outline a development site or paddock for sales packs.
Add a clean outline or fade for print-ready aerials.
Call out a building or yard in a busy industrial frame.
Many agents and developers now expect a “spotlight” aerial as standard — subject clear, context soft. Offer it as a quick add-on or include it in every pack without adding hours of desktop work.
Need a crop, straighten or exposure tweak before or after Spotlight? The free PhotoEdit editor handles everyday property adjustments in the same browser. For staging, decluttering or day-to-dusk, hand off to ReHub AI tools when a client wants more.
