Common Issues

Paint enhancement changed the actual car color

Why: AI interpreted 'vibrant' as a different shade

Try: enhance the shine and reflection without changing the actual paint color

Mention the specific color like 'keep the silver paint color, just add shine'

Background replacement looks pasted on

Why: Lighting direction doesn't match between car and new background

Try: replace background with scenic road, match the lighting direction to the car

Photos taken in soft overcast light work best with background replacements
