Describe your edit
Type what you want: 'replace background with clean white studio backdrop' or 'brighten to show true colors' or 'remove the messy background and show the item on white.' The AI understands product photography needs.
Review product edges
Check that the AI preserved your item's edges cleanly, especially for clothing with complex outlines, straps, or accessories. Zoom in on edges to verify nothing got cut off.
Refine edges if needed

When Things Go Wrong
AI cut off part of my item (straps, lace, handles)
Why: Thin or delicate parts of items can be mistaken for background by the AI.
Tap markers on the cut areas, then: 'restore these parts of the item, only remove background'
For items with thin straps or handles, tap markers on them before the first edit.
Background replaced but edges look rough
Why: Complex item edges (fur, fringe, detailed stitching) challenge the AI's edge detection.
Tap markers on rough edges, then: 'clean up these edges smoothly against the white background'
Clothing with clean outlines (blazers, solid shirts) works best. Furry or fringed items may need refinement.
Colors look different after editing
Why: Lighting correction sometimes shifts colors slightly when balancing exposure.
correct the color to match the original item, maintain true fabric colors
Add 'preserve original colors' to your background replacement prompts.
AI changed the wrong area or affected my item
Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone.
Tap a marker on the specific area you want to change, then regenerate with the same prompt
Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.
White background has grey spots or isn't pure white
Why: The AI sometimes leaves subtle shadows or variations in the background.
make the background pure white, completely clean and seamless throughout
Add 'pure' and 'seamless' to get that crisp e-commerce white.
