If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone. This happens with ambiguous requests like 'make it more professional' when multiple elements could be improved.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to change, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS area specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Business attire looks unrealistic or poorly fitted

Why: The AI struggles with complex clothing transformations on certain poses or when the original outfit has very different proportions than business attire.

Try: Try 'adjust business suit to fit naturally' or specify simpler changes like 'add navy blazer over existing shirt'

Try This →

Tip: Start with photos where your pose and body position already suggest professional attire for best results.

Expression looks too serious or not engaging enough for LinkedIn

Why: LinkedIn networking requires approachable expressions, but aggressive transformations can make faces appear stiff or overly formal.

Try: Use 'create approachable professional expression' or 'maintain natural smile for LinkedIn networking'

Try This →

Tip: For LinkedIn, aim for 'confident and approachable' rather than 'corporate stern' for better networking results.

Background replacement looks artificial or distracting

Why: Sharp edges or mismatched lighting between subject and new background create obvious compositing artifacts that hurt LinkedIn credibility.

Try: Add 'with natural edge blending' or 'professional background that matches subject lighting' to your prompt

Try This →

Tip: Subtle gradient backgrounds often look more natural than solid colors for LinkedIn professional standards.

Photo doesn't look LinkedIn-appropriate or too casual

Why: LinkedIn has specific professional standards that balance approachability with competence, requiring careful attention to styling details.

Try: Try 'optimize for LinkedIn professional standards' or 'create LinkedIn-appropriate business presentation'

Try This →

Tip: LinkedIn favors 'professional but personable' over either 'too casual' or 'overly corporate' styling.
