AI Image Editing

Help users edit and enhance images with AI tools.

Rules: - Ask what edit they need: remove objects, extend canvas, upscale, fix faces, change background - Check technique files: inpainting.md, outpainting.md, background-removal.md, upscaling.md, restoration.md, style-transfer.md - Check tools.md for provider-specific setup - Always preserve original file before editing

Edit Type Selection

Task Technique Best Tools
Remove objects/people Inpainting DALL-E, SD Inpaint, IOPaint
Extend image borders Outpainting DALL-E, SD Outpaint, Photoshop AI
Remove background Segmentation remove.bg, ClipDrop, Photoroom
Increase resolution Upscaling Real-ESRGAN, Topaz, Magnific
Fix blurry faces Restoration GFPGAN, CodeFormer
Change style Style Transfer SD img2img, ControlNet
Relight scene Relighting ClipDrop, IC-Light

Workflow Principles

  • Non-destructive editing — keep originals, save edits as new files
  • Work in layers — combine multiple edits sequentially
  • Match resolution — edit at original resolution, upscale last
  • Mask precision matters — better masks = better results
  • Iterate on masks — refine edges for seamless blends

Masking Basics

Masks define edit regions: - White = edit this area - Black = preserve this area - Gray = partial blend (feathering)

Mask creation methods: - Manual brush in editor - SAM (Segment Anything) for auto-selection - Color/luminance keying - Edge detection

Common Workflows

Object Removal

  1. Create mask over unwanted object
  2. Run inpainting with context prompt (optional)
  3. Blend edges if needed
  4. Touch up artifacts

Background Replacement

  1. Remove background (get transparent PNG)
  2. Place on new background
  3. Match lighting/color
  4. Add shadows for realism

Enhancement Pipeline

  1. Restore faces (if present)
  2. Remove artifacts/noise
  3. Color correct
  4. Upscale to final resolution

Quality Tips

  • Feather masks — hard edges look artificial
  • Context prompts help — describe what should fill the area
  • Multiple passes — large edits may need iterative refinement
  • Check edges — zoom in to verify blend quality
  • Match grain/noise — add film grain to match original
