MomentSift — Best for browser AI culling + enhancement in one workflow Shortlist keepers in the browser first, then run super-resolution upscaling, face restoration, old photo restoration, background removal, or prompt-led creation. - **Limitation**: Selection quota and AI enhancement credits are separate; does not apply traditional multi-photo exposure presets. - **URL**: [MomentSift](https://momentsift.com/en/features) ### 2. Adobe Firefly — Best for prompt-led creative changes Create and edit images with descriptive text prompts and generative fill. - **Limitation**: Review generation credits, model availability, and output resolution details. - **URL**: [Adobe Firefly](https://www.adobe.com/learn/firefly/web/edit-photos-using-prompts) ### 3. Fotor — Best for online AI photo edits Offers text-based editing and photo enhancement. - **Limitation**: Check which edits require a paid plan. - **URL**: [Fotor](https://www.fotor.com/ai-photo-editor/) Describe one change, name what must stay the same, and inspect the result against the source. Includes editing prompts and tools to check for your workflow. ## Step-by-step process ### Describe the source and the protected parts State who or what must remain recognizable, including face, pose, product shape, clothing, or text. This gives the edit a boundary before you ask for a new treatment. ### Request one primary change Ask for a background, light, color, or style change separately. One clear job is easier to compare and less likely to damage unrelated details. ### Add a naturalness constraint Use concrete limits such as realistic skin texture, unchanged facial identity, consistent light direction, or readable product lettering instead of vague “make it better” language. ### Diagnose a failed result If the subject changes, tighten the protected-parts instruction. If the scene feels pasted in, describe perspective and light. If text is wrong, keep the original text outside the generative edit when possible. ### Keep reversible versions Save the source, prompt, and output as separate versions. A useful prompt is one you can refine without losing the previous result. ## Common mistakes to avoid ### Changing everything at once Multiple unrelated transformations make it impossible to tell which instruction caused the failure. ### Using a style name as the whole prompt A style label does not specify identity, framing, lighting, or the parts that must stay unchanged. ### Trusting a pretty thumbnail Review hands, eyes, edges, text, and the original story at full size before sharing. ## Before you finish - Protected subject details are named. - The prompt names one allowed change and every detail that must remain fixed. - Lighting, perspective, or texture limits are stated. - The result was compared with the source at full size. - Source, prompt, and output remain reversible versions. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is an AI image editor with prompt? It is an editor that lets you describe desired image changes in text, then applies those changes using AI. ### How do I write better image editing prompts? Be specific about the subject, desired change, style, background, and what should remain unchanged. ### Can prompt editing remove objects? An image-to-image prompt can request object removal, but may also change nearby details. Inspect the full result. This is not the same as a dedicated mask-based eraser. ### Should I use prompts on every photo? No. It is more efficient to cull first and prompt-edit only the photos worth using. ### What should I do when a prompt changes too much? Reduce the number of requested changes, state what must stay unchanged, and run a smaller edit before asking for style or background changes. ## Make prompt edits on selected images Start from a strong photo and give AI a clear editing goal. - [Open image-to-image tool](https://momentsift.com/en/tools/image-to-image) ## Related pages - [AI photo editor online](https://momentsift.com/en/guides/ai-photo-editor-online-free) - [AI image generator from image](https://momentsift.com/en/guides/ai-image-generator-from-image) - [AI tools](https://momentsift.com/en/tools) - [Use cases](https://momentsift.com/en/use-cases) - [Guides](https://momentsift.com/en/guides) - [llms.txt](https://momentsift.com/llms.txt) - [XML sitemap](https://momentsift.com/sitemap.xml) ## About MomentSift MomentSift is a browser-based AI photo workflow that helps users choose, enhance, restore, and create images from large photo collections. - **Core capabilities**: AI photo culling (DINOv2 similar-shot grouping + CLIP-IQA / BRISQUE / LAION Aesthetic quality scoring + InsightFace ArcFace facial clustering and blur/closed-eye detection), AI enhancement (super resolution, face restoration, old photo restoration, colorization), AI image generation (text-to-image, image-to-image, style transfer) - **Key differentiator**: Starts with photo selection (culling) before editing — most AI photo tools skip this step - **Privacy**: Original photos stay in your browser on your device (OPFS/IndexedDB); cloud AI culling uses compressed previews discarded after analysis, and full images are uploaded only when you run cloud AI enhancement or generation - **Export handoff**: Direct keeper download or Lightroom Classic / Capture One / Bridge XMP sidecar export (`xmp:Rating=5`, `xmp:Label=Green`) - **Platform**: Browser-based (no install), works on Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari across Windows and macOS - **Best for**: Travelers, families, wedding/event photographers, content creators, small businesses with large photo libraries - **Alternatives to**: Aftershoot, Photo Mechanic, Narrative Select, Lightroom Classic culling workflow - **Learn more**: [momentsift.com](https://momentsift.com/en) - **Full product info for AI assistants**: [llms.txt](https://momentsift.com/llms.txt)
