Frequently asked questions
About this service
-
What counts as a custom edit?
A scene or look built from your own photos to your brief: a child as an astronaut, a Christmas card scene, a floating portrait, a double exposure. If you have an idea that doesn't fit a standard fix, this is the service for it.
-
Can you create the scene from scratch?
Not without your photo. Every custom edit starts from a photo you send, and the people in it are composited from that photo, not redrawn. Around them, the editor can generate a costume, props or a background with AI, or use a background photo you send. We edit photos; we don't design: you bring the idea, and we don't create logos or come up with concepts.
-
What should I send?
The photo of the people who should appear in the final image, plus your own background photo if you want one used, ideally clear shots where the subject is easy to separate from the background (for floating or action edits, the whole body in frame). Add a reference you like, or one sentence about the mood, such as "gentle and dreamy". To add only words, names or a date to a photo, see crop, extend and add text.
-
How much does a custom edit cost?
Most custom edits cost the same as any other fix: 1 credit (US$8) for each photo you send us to edit, which covers up to 20 minutes of an editor's work. Costumes, props or backgrounds we generate with AI are not charged separately; a background photo you send is edited into the result, so it counts as a photo too. Composites that take longer by hand, like a floating subject or a double exposure, cost more, and each example page shows its price. As with every order, the editor pauses and asks before charging more than the estimate.
-
How do I make sure it turns out the way I imagined?
Describe the idea as clearly as you can and attach a reference. If the first result isn't right, you can ask for changes for free for 14 days, as long as they follow your original idea. If it still doesn't work out, you get a full refund.
Ordering with Tucia
-
Is my photo edited by a real person or by AI?
By a real person. Every photo is assigned to a professional human editor who does the work by hand, and a human checks the result before delivery. AI tools are used only for narrow helper steps, never as a one-click filter.
-
How much does it cost?
Pricing is per photo, in credits, from 1 credit (US$8). The price and delivery time shown at checkout are an estimate. If your edit turns out to need more work than that, the editor pauses that photo and messages you with the extra amount, and nothing more is charged unless you agree. If you decline, that part is dropped and refunded.
-
How long does it take?
Most orders are back within 24 hours; larger batches take longer, and you'll see an estimate at checkout. There is no paid rush option. If you have a deadline, say so in your order notes and we'll do our best to fit it in, though we can't guarantee a date.
-
What if I'm not happy with the result?
Ask for changes: revisions are free for 14 days after delivery. They need to follow your original instructions (a new direction counts as a new order). If it still doesn't work out, you get a full refund. The full terms are in our revision policy.
-
Are my photos kept private?
Yes. We never share your photos or show them publicly, and we never use them for marketing. A few editing steps rely on third-party AI tools — here is exactly which ones, and what we can and can't guarantee. More in our Privacy Policy.
