When Things Go Wrong

Edges look choppy on the item

Why: Complex outlines challenge AI edge detection.

Try: Tap markers on choppy edges, then: smooth edges naturally

High contrast between item and original background works best.

Colors don't match the real item

Why: Color correction overcorrected or mixed lighting.

Try: fix color to show accurate natural color, do not over-saturate

Photograph in consistent daylight for best results.

Details got smoothed away

Why: Enhancement over-processed the image.

Try: replace background with white, do not alter the item in any way

'Do not alter the item' preserves all detail.

AI changed the wrong area

Why: Description was ambiguous.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area, then regenerate

Markers tell the AI exactly where to focus.

Result looks fake

Why: Lighting mismatch with new background.

Try: replace background with soft neutral, match existing lighting

'Match existing lighting' creates realistic composites.
