Common Issues

The fix changed areas you didn't want changed

Why: AI sometimes applies edits too broadly across the image

Try: only fix the specific area I marked, leave everything else untouched

Use tap markers to precisely indicate the area that needs fixing

Edit looks artificial or over-processed

Why: AI sometimes overdoes corrections, making results look fake

Try: make the correction look subtle and natural, not over-processed

Adding 'subtle and natural' to any prompt reduces AI over-correction

Colors shifted after the fix

Why: Brightness or exposure corrections can inadvertently shift color balance

Try: fix the issue but preserve the original color tones throughout

Mention 'preserve original colors' when you only want one specific thing fixed

Fix worked on some areas but missed others

Why: AI focuses on the most prominent area and may skip smaller ones

Try: apply the same fix to all affected areas, not just the main one

For missed areas, do a second pass with a marker on the specific spot

Frequently Asked Questions

Can AI really replace a construction site convincingly?

Yes. Smart mode generates a matching background based on context β€” if a building is under construction, it creates a plausible clean building. The result matches the lighting and perspective of the original photo.

What if the construction partially overlaps with the subject?

The AI separates the subject from the background. Minor overlaps (barrier next to you, scaffold partially behind you) are handled well. Major overlaps may need marker-guided editing.

Can I use this for real estate photos with nearby construction?

Yes. Great for listing photos where a neighbor's renovation is creating an eyesore. Replace with a clean, attractive neighboring building.

Is this really free?

Yes β€” 1 free edit per week, no account needed. Plans start at $3.99/month for unlimited.
