Our platform will enhance your image whether you like it or not however you only pay for the edit if you like it. If you reject the edit and 'Send to Artist' you will not pay for the AI edit, instead, you will be charged for the hand edit (same price unless 2-hour selected).
Yes! There is a small panel underneath the photo with a few simple alteration options include:
- Change sky
- Use original sky and
- Use original verticals
Facelift photos performed by AI will be available to download in seconds. A hand-edit Facelift is available within 6 to 24 hours unless you select our premium 2-hour service (for £1 more).
Digital surgery we aim to return the same day or by the following morning, and virtual furnishing within 1 - 2 days.

We're very aware of Consumer Protection Regulations and would always recommend not to go ahead with an edit if you were in breach. When removing and adding objects, every effort will be taken to make it as accurate as possible. To help us, you can upload photos of what's behind an object or there's a space to add in a Google Street View address so we can check online how a property should look. Equally, we would not remove items that are likely to deceive if they're taken out. This includes things like street furniture, lamp posts, views of other buildings etc.
It depends on the complexity of the edit. We aim to get all edits back the same day or by the following morning. We also have a fast-track option which bumps your edit up the queue for £1. If it's a really big job (like finishing a half-built house) we generally say 1-2 days.
Sign up to Direct Debit and you'll automatically join the Doctor Photo Club. Simply send more than 24 Facelift edits a month and the price drops from £1.20 to 70p. Wish to send us thousands? Give us a shout...
With digital surgery we do not remove anything that is permanently there. If you ask us to remove a lamp post for example, we simply won't do it as we don't want to get you in trouble! For Virtual Furnishing, it's our view you do not need a disclaimer unless you're altering permanent features like walls and carpets - you may wish to add one and we're happy to do this for you. Larger edits, like finishing a part-built property, changing walls or adding flooring will DEFINITELY need a disclaimer.
No problem. When you upload your photo there are lots of options to brief-in exactly what you're after. You can even annotate a photo when briefing a digital surgery picture. But we must admit, sometimes we're not mind readers. That's cool. Please let us know via the 'Feedback' button when you receive your edit back (available in the photo recovery area via email, or on your Order page) and we'll make the corrections you ask for ASAP.
Our Facelift service (Adding blue skies and enhancing the photo) is made by AI, but you can still choose to send a photo to an artist to Facelift by hand.
Our other services such as Digital Surgery (that's our name for Removing Objects) and Virtual Furnishing (that's our name for Adding CGI Furniture to a Room) are made by hand.
Why isn't it all AI?
We believe that if you're selling the biggest asset anyone is going to purchase in their lifetime, it has to be done right. And it's probably worth waiting a few hours for...
Our artists may use AI to glaze our work and improve photo-realism. But we have the tools, experience and capability to do it right. And very well indeed.
