AI Erase and Replace

Once you have created your AI masks using the AI Mask Selector, AI Mask Brush or both, you can use the AI Erase and Replace operation to remove elements from your imported image. The AI processor will remove any elements that are masked and reconstruct the image by replacing the masked elements with whatever the AI processor believes would exist in its place.

  1. Apply masks to your image using the AI Masking tools.

  2. Open Tool Properties.

  3. Select AI Erase and Replace from the Operation options.

    A progress bar will appear as your image is processed with AI.

    Once processed, the AI Erase and Replace dialog will open.

  4. Click OK.

    Once you click OK, a new layer containing the generated image will be created above the original image layer.

TIP You can compare the processed image to the original in the AI Erase and Replace dialog by either pressing Alt or clicking the Show Original Image icon.

For more information about the AI Masking tools, see AI Masking.

IMPORTANT The new layer generated with the AI Erase and Replace will be labelled with a “g” for generated. This will indicate that your image has been generated through AI.

AI Erase and Replace Dialog

The AI Erase and Replace dialog is where you can view the output image that has been processed. This will allow you to preview how the AI has interpreted the removal and substitution of the masked areas. The AI Erase and Replace dialog will also indicate the size of the rendered image.

You may also generate multiple outputs at once from the dialog. You can select a number from the number box and click the Generate New Images button.

This will output the designated number of preview images as selected. To view the new generated images, you can use the previous image and next image command to cycle through the different generated images.

TIP You can use the left and right arrow keys to cycle through your images in the Preview window.

By generating multiple outputs, you can review other ways that the image may be processed. The original image will be processed again and new images will be output in the AI Erase and Replace dialog. You can compare the images that are generated to the original by clicking the Show Original Image icon or by pressing Alt. Each new image is kept on the disk until the Cancel or OK command is selected. When you click OK, the current image in the preview is the image that will be rendered.
