Do I need to mark the medical equipment before removing it?
No. Just type 'remove the IV pole and medical equipment' and the AI identifies and removes hospital items automatically. It understands what medical equipment looks like in birth photos. Markers are only needed if you want to remove something very specific that the AI might miss, or if equipment is partially hidden.
Can I fix multiple issues in one hospital photo?
Yes. Combine fixes: 'remove all medical equipment, soften the harsh lighting, clean up the background clutter, and make this warm and peaceful.' The AI handles multiple changes at once. Pro mode (4 credits) works best for comprehensive hospital photo transformations because it applies changes in the right sequence.
Will this make the photo look fake or over-edited?
Not if you ask for natural results. Hospital photos are tricky because they're already authentic moments—you're just removing distractions. Use words like 'natural,' 'realistic,' or 'subtle' in your prompts. The goal is making the photo match your memory of the moment, not creating something that never happened.
What if my baby was in the NICU and photos are through the isolette?
You can remove isolette reflections and glass with 'remove the isolette glass and reflections, make it look like baby is being held.' This is emotionally powerful but technically complex—Pro mode works much better. The AI can't change the actual medical situation, but it can remove visual barriers.
Can I make myself look less exhausted without looking fake?
Yes, gently. Try 'soften the shadows under eyes and make skin look healthy and radiant, natural post-birth glow.' Keep it subtle—you want to look like yourself rested, not like a different person. The exhaustion is part of the story, but harsh lighting shouldn't make you look worse than you felt.
Should I edit these photos or keep them authentic?
That's entirely your choice. Some parents love the raw hospital reality—it's part of the story. Others prefer cleaning up medical clutter to focus on the emotional moment. There's no wrong answer. Your baby won't remember or care about IV poles, so if removing them makes you happier about displaying the photo, that's valid. These are your memories to preserve however feels right.
