Workflow comparison

Image-to-Image AI vs AI Photo Editor

Both workflows begin with an image, but they should represent different user intentions. Image-to-image is for a broader visual transformation; AI Photo Editor is for a narrower change with explicit preservation of the rest.

Open the AI Photo Editor
01

Use image-to-image for broader exploration

Choose image-to-image when you want new materials, atmosphere, visual direction, or a meaningful variation of the complete scene. The reference anchors the result, but broader changes may introduce more variation.

02

Use AI Photo Editor for a focused request

Choose the photo editor when you can describe a bounded edit such as removing one prop, correcting light, changing one material, or cleaning a distracting background element. State what should remain untouched.

  • One focused change
  • Explicit preservation boundary
  • Compare edited and unedited areas
  • Restart from the original for a new edit branch
03

Neither workflow is pixel-deterministic

Both are generative. They can change details outside the requested area. Use full-size review, and switch to a manual or masked editing tool when exact pixels, labels, geometry, or legal accuracy are required.
