"My daughter was born with jaundice and all our first photos showed that yellow tinge. One prompt fixed the skin tone completely and removed the bili lights. Now we have beautiful photos of her first day that we can actually frame." @FirstTimeDad_Mike

Step-by-Step Guide
-
Upload your newborn photo
Drop your newborn image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Works with hospital photos, first week at home shots, posed studio attempts, and quick phone snaps. Any image from baby's first days works.
Skin tone correction: 20 seconds. Background replacement: 30 seconds. Complex edits with multiple fixes may need 2-3 refinements. -
Describe your edit in plain English
Type what you need: 'correct the skin redness and jaundice' or 'remove the hospital monitors and create a soft dreamy background.' Be specific about skin tone goals - 'healthy pink' versus 'reduce yellow tinge.' The AI understands newborn photography and keeps delicate features natural.
Include 'keep natural newborn features' to preserve tiny details like vernix, lanugo hair, and natural skin texture that make newborn photos authentic. -
Review and download
Check that skin tones look healthy but natural - not artificially perfect. Verify hospital equipment is completely removed with no ghosting. Ensure the background transition looks seamless around tiny fingers and wispy hair. Download your frame-worthy newborn portrait.

Refine specific areas if needed
If skin correction went too far or some equipment remains, tap a marker on that specific area and regenerate with adjusted instructions. Newborn photos should look natural and timeless, not airbrushed.
For jaundice correction, 'reduce yellow tinge while keeping warm undertones' prevents overcorrection to unnatural pink.

When Things Go Wrong
Skin tone correction made baby look too pink or artificial
Why: The AI may have overcorrected, removing all redness including healthy pink tones.
restore some warm pink undertones to the skin, make it look like healthy natural newborn skin not artificial
'Healthy natural' is the key phrase - you want correction, not perfection.
Jaundice correction removed warm undertones completely
Why: Aggressive yellow removal can make skin look cold or gray.
Tap marker on affected areas, then: add back warm undertones while keeping jaundice correction, skin should look warm not gray
Request 'warm healthy skin' rather than just 'remove yellow' for better results.
Hospital equipment removal left ghosting or artifacts
Why: Complex equipment near the baby can be difficult to cleanly remove and fill.
Tap markers on remaining artifacts, then: clean up these areas and fill with smooth soft background matching surroundings
For stubborn artifacts, try a full background replacement instead of spot removal.
Background replacement cut off tiny fingers or wispy hair
Why: Newborn extremities and fine hair are challenging for edge detection.
restore the baby's fingers and wispy hair that got cropped, keep the new background but fix the edges around baby
Tap markers on the specific areas where details were lost for targeted restoration.
AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed
Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone. This happens with ambiguous requests.
Tap a marker on the specific area you want to change, then regenerate with the same prompt
Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS one specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.
Baby acne smoothing removed natural skin texture
Why: Over-aggressive smoothing can make newborn skin look plastic or artificial.
restore natural newborn skin texture while keeping blemish reduction, skin should look real not airbrushed
Use 'gently reduce' rather than 'remove' for baby acne to preserve authenticity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to mark the skin areas before correcting redness or jaundice?
No. Just describe what you want: 'correct the skin redness' or 'reduce the jaundice yellow tinge.' The AI understands these concepts and applies corrections to visible skin automatically. Only use markers if you need to correct a specific area while leaving others unchanged.
Will skin correction preserve my baby's natural features like birthmarks?
Yes, unless you specifically ask to remove them. The AI corrects overall skin tone while preserving individual features. If you have a stork bite or birthmark you want to keep, include 'keep the birthmark on [location]' in your prompt. These marks are part of your baby's identity.
How do I correct jaundice without making skin look unnatural?
Request 'reduce the yellow jaundice tinge while keeping warm natural undertones.' The key is 'warm undertones' - this prevents overcorrection to unnatural pink or gray. Healthy baby skin has warmth to it, even without jaundice.
Can it remove bili lights and phototherapy equipment?
Yes. Request 'remove the bili lights and phototherapy equipment, replace with soft white blanket.' The AI can remove these along with the unusual blue lighting they create. You may need to also request skin tone correction since bili light photos often have color casts.
Is there a free newborn photo editor that doesn't require login?
Yes - EditThisPic is free to try with no account required and no watermarks. You get one free edit per week. Perfect for new parents who need to fix a few special photos without subscribing to software or learning complex tools.
What's the best way to handle peeling newborn skin in photos?
Request 'gently smooth the peeling skin while keeping natural newborn texture.' The word 'gently' is important - you want to reduce the appearance without creating artificial-looking skin. Some texture is normal and authentic for newborn photos.
