Edit
AI image editing guide — use masks for local inpainting and brushes for hint-painting to precisely control which areas the AI redraws.
Image editing lets you work directly on a canvas — use masks to mark areas for redraw, brushes to paint reference colors, or feed the whole image as a reference with img2img.
Main Modes
| Mode | Use case |
|---|---|
| Mask | Mark areas to redraw. The AI only repaints inside the mask; everything else stays untouched. Good for fixing faces, swapping outfits, changing backgrounds |
| Paint | Paint colors directly as a hint for the AI. Great for covering unwanted elements or guiding color choices |
| Img2img | No mask — the whole image acts as a reference for a fresh generation. Use Strength to control how much changes |
Basic Workflow
Load the image
Upload an image to enter edit mode.
Draw a mask
Switch to mask mode and paint over the area you want to change. Make the area a bit larger than needed and turn on feathering so the new content blends naturally with the surroundings.
Write a prompt and generate
Describe what you want the masked area to become, then click Generate. The AI only repaints what the mask covers.
