"The shelter photo made our rescue look so sad and grey. Enhanced the lighting and removed the kennel background. Now she looks as happy as she actually was!" @rescuemom_daisy

Common Issues
Background replacement looks unnatural around fur edges
Why: Fine fur and whiskers are difficult for AI to separate cleanly
Tap markers on fuzzy edges and say 'blend the fur edges naturally into the background'
Long-haired pets need more edge refinement than short-haired ones
Eye enhancement made eyes look alien or glowing
Why: AI over-processed the eye brightness
Words like 'naturally' and 'slightly' prevent over-processing
