The economics of fixing instead of re-rolling

Most near-miss renders are not bad images — they are good images with one wrong thing: a hand, a strap, a background object, a crop that cuts too tight. Re-rolling the whole brief to fix one detail trades a known-good composition for a fresh lottery ticket, and the new ticket usually changes three things you liked to fix the one you did not.

The Editor exists to break that trade. You mark the region, describe what should be there, and the model rebuilds only that region, blending light and texture into the surrounding frame. Composition, character and mood — the expensive parts to get right — survive untouched.

The three edits, in depth

Inpaint — replace what is inside the mask

Brush over the flaw and describe its replacement in the same vocabulary the original brief used. Inpainting is at its best on local problems: hands, jewellery, garment details, small props, background artifacts. Two disciplines matter. Mask generously — give the model a margin of healthy pixels around the flaw, or the repair has no context to blend into. And describe the fix, not the flaw: “a relaxed hand resting on the windowsill, evening light” rebuilds better than “fix the hand”.

Restyle — same composition, new decisions

Restyling keeps the pose and framing and re-decides the surface: wardrobe, setting dressing, hour of day, season. It is the fastest way to turn one strong composition into a series — the same shot as evening, as studio, as summer — without risking the anatomy lottery each time. Restyle prompts should name what changes and what must not: “same pose and framing; change the dress to deep green velvet; keep her face and hair identical.”

Extend — grow the frame

Outpainting continues the scene beyond its edges: a portrait becomes a full scene, a tight crop becomes a banner. Extend in modest steps — a moderate grow per job blends more honestly than a huge one — and check the seams at full size before you upscale.

Edit briefs that work

A working order for edits

1. Structure first: extend or recompose before detail work, so you never inpaint a region you later crop away.
2. One change per job: if a result disappoints, you know which instruction caused it — the same one-variable rule as prompting.
3. Details last: inpaint small flaws after restyling, because restyles redraw surfaces.
4. Upscale at the very end with the Image Upscaler — never before editing, since edits are cheaper at working size.

Editing etiquette

Edit your own creations and media you hold rights and consent for. Editing a real person’s photo into a sexual context without documented consent is prohibited — the same standard as the transformation tools, explained in the Moderation Policy.
