When Things Go Wrong
Items moved or rearranged during editing
Why: The AI might shift item positions during surface replacement.
replace only the surface underneath, do not move alter or rearrange any items at all, everything stays in exact position
Use 'items stay in exact position' as a default for all flat lay edits.
Surface replacement left weird gaps between items
Why: Some items may have shadows or transitions that look odd on a new surface.
Tap markers on the gaps, then: fill these gaps with the same clean surface, seamless and natural
Markers on specific problem spots give the AI precise guidance.
Fabric texture from old surface still showing through
Why: Surface texture can bleed through transparent or thin fabric items.
replace the surface completely, ensure no old surface texture is visible anywhere, clean and uniform new surface
For thin fabrics, you may need a second pass to fully clean up bleed-through.
Lighting is still uneven after editing
Why: One side of the flat lay may still be brighter than the other.
make the lighting perfectly even across the entire flat lay, no bright spots or dark areas, uniform illumination
Combine surface replacement with 'perfectly even lighting' for the best result.
