- Choose a modest purpose for the edit: a private remembrance, a card or a specific family conversation, rather than a general promise to recreate the past.
- Keep original source photographs separate from edited copies. Use images with appropriate permission, and avoid putting private source details into a public note.
- Write one plain alteration sentence: explain that the image is a composite and that a person was added from a separate reference when that describes the edit.
- Decide the audience before handing over a copy. Agreement about a private family chat does not automatically cover a public profile or later reuse.
- Review the actual proposed result, including faces, hands, proportions and background edges. A neat-looking output is not proof of a likeness, consent or a real gathering.
- Read the caption beside the image. If the wording suggests a meeting happened when the scene was composed later, revise the explanation instead of hiding the distinction.
- Keep accessibility wording consistent with the visible arrangement and the known alteration. Do not invent emotions, relationships or dates merely because the image suggests them.
- One browser-tool reference is Loved One Photo, https://addlovedonetophoto.app/ . Registration grants 10 credits once, enough for one generation; later generations require paid credits.
- Caption, print-layout and download adjustments do not spend extra generation credits. Check current features, prices and privacy conditions before uploading or buying anything; no unlimited-free service is promised here.
- Keep a short private handoff note identifying the reviewed copy, its caption, the intended audience and any unresolved concern. Do not include passwords or private access links.
- Leave a clear pause or correction option. Keeping the original photo, not sharing the composite, or reopening the discussion for a different audience are all valid outcomes.
- Disclosure: I am associated with Loved One Photo, and AI assisted this original checklist. It is a proposed review aid, not an independent product test, customer testimonial, legal consent form or authenticity certificate.
