Event photos: copy and crowd density must agree
`event-photo-cleanup-people` is primarily used to remove photo vests, floor runners, and temporary obstructions from event assets. The largest risk is often narrative mismatch, not pixel quality: if copy claims sold-out momentum while aisles are visually emptied, trust and compliance issues appear quickly. Align acceptable crowd-density boundaries during briefing before deciding mask scope. During execution, inspect stage gradients, follow-spot edges, and high-contrast transitions to prevent banding and patch artifacts. Before release, run multi-device preview and copy-consistency review, and retain raw masters, approval logs, and export parameters. With narrative alignment, high bit-depth repair, and traceable records, event edits can balance conversion goals with authenticity and legal resilience.
Recommended steps for event remove-person edits
- Inside `event-photo-cleanup-people`, compare the marketing claim with the frame; mask crew lanes only after stakeholders agree on acceptable crowd density.
- At 100% zoom, verify audience texture still feels real and that stage lighting banding did not worsen—switch to 16-bit passes if needed.
- Add a "retouched" callout if brand policy demands it; archive untouched frames with visible credentials internally.
