Any aspect ratio
Generate a cinematic side-view fashion portrait inside a subway car, showing a subject sitting cross-legged on muted pastel-colored seats along the car wall, wearing a puffy baby-pink jacket with detailed fabric texture and silver over-ear headphones; the subject is holding an open fashion magazine and a highlighter, appearing absorbed in reading with a soft, dreamy, intimate expression; the subway interior features consistent muted seating stretching across the frame, a clearly framed subway map positioned above, and the edge of a subway door visible on the right; outside the window is the dark subway tunnel reflecting soft interior lighting, creating a calm nighttime atmosphere; casual layered streetwear fits naturally with relaxed, anatomically correct posture; soft diffused subway lighting gently illuminates the scene, emphasizing fabric detail, natural skin tones, subtle reflections on glass and handrails, and an immersive, cozy urban transit mood.
AI Image Editor Template: Smart Background Cleanup & Object Removal
Use this template to clean up product shots, social content, and portraits in seconds with Magic Hour’s AI Image Editor. It’s designed for fast, precise edits that look natural enough for e‑commerce, marketing campaigns, and professional portfolios.
What this template is best for
This template is optimized for:
- Removing stray objects, logos, or people from photos
- Cleaning up product shots for marketplaces or DTC sites
- Polishing social and ad creatives without a full design team
- Fixing “almost perfect” shots (trash cans, exit signs, background clutter)
- Preparing images for repurposing into video, GIFs, or ads
It’s based on the same inpainting and generative fill techniques described in modern image editing research (e.g., Pathak et al., “Context Encoders” and follow‑on work in generative inpainting), but packaged into a workflow that doesn’t require design or ML experience.

Tips for better, more consistent results
- Be specific in your prompts
Describe the environment (“studio lighting, white seamless background”) rather than just “clean up.” - Think like a retoucher
Decide what should stay, what should go, and what should be de‑emphasized before you start editing. - Standardize your language
Keep a shared doc of 5–10 prompts your team uses repeatedly (e.g., “DTC skincare brand, minimalist, soft daylight”). - Use upscaling at the end
Once you’re happy with the edit, run the final image through the AI Image Upscaler to preserve detail for web, print, or high‑res campaigns.
How to make this template your own
To create your own version of this template inside Magic Hour:
- Pick 5–10 representative images from your brand or client work.
- Run them through the AI Image Editor, repeating similar edit patterns.
- Save and document:
- Which types of elements you remove (props, clutter, text)
- The prompt phrasing that best matches your visual style
- Any follow‑up tools you consistently use (e.g., upscaler, background generator)
- Reuse that pattern across new projects so your team can replicate results in minutes instead of rebuilding from scratch.
This gives you a practical, reusable “AI editing system” rather than a one‑off effect—ideal for creators, agencies, and startups who need to move fast without sacrificing visual quality.
