Tips for Best Results

Mask Creation Guidelines: Create effective masks for optimal results
- High contrast: Use pure white (#FFFFFF) for areas to remove, pure black (#000000) for areas to keep
- Clean edges: Ensure mask edges are clean and well-defined for precise object removal
- Accurate boundaries: Trace object boundaries carefully to avoid removing desired elements
- Multiple objects: Use separate processing for complex scenes with multiple objects
Image Quality Considerations: Optimize source images for best results
- High resolution: Higher resolution images provide better inpainting quality
- Good lighting: Well-lit images help the AI understand context and textures
- Clear details: Sharp, detailed images produce more realistic inpainting results
- Stable exposure: Consistent lighting across the image improves blending
Mask Design Best Practices: Design masks for optimal object removal
- Precise selection: Include only the object to remove, avoid unnecessary areas
- Edge refinement: Use soft brushes for natural edges, hard brushes for defined objects
- Context preservation: Leave enough surrounding context for realistic inpainting
- Feathering: Use slight feathering on mask edges for seamless blending
Object Type Considerations: Different objects require different approaches
- Simple objects: Clean, geometric objects with defined edges work best
- Complex textures: Objects with intricate details may require careful mask creation
- Overlapping elements: Separate overlapping objects into multiple processing steps
- Background integration: Consider how removed objects integrate with background patterns
Format & Quality Optimization: Choose appropriate output settings
- PNG: Best for images requiring transparency or high-quality archival
- JPEG: Suitable for photographs and web use with smaller file sizes
- WebP: Modern format offering excellent compression for web applications
Advanced Techniques: Enhance results with advanced approaches
- Iterative processing: Process complex removals in multiple stages for better results
- Mask refinement: Adjust masks based on initial results for improved accuracy
- Context enhancement: Ensure sufficient background context around masked areas
- Quality validation: Review results and reprocess with adjusted parameters if needed

Mask Quality Checklist

✅ Exact dimensions: Mask matches source image dimensions perfectly
✅ High contrast: Clear white (remove) and black (keep) areas
✅ Clean edges: Smooth, well-defined boundaries around objects
✅ Complete coverage: All parts of target objects are marked for removal
✅ Context preservation: Sufficient background area left intact for inpainting

Notes

Stable Image Core Object Remover uses advanced diffusion-based inpainting specifically optimized for object removal
Results quality depends on mask accuracy, image complexity, and surrounding context availability
The model excels at removing well-defined objects with clear boundaries and sufficient background context
Processing times vary based on image resolution, mask complexity, and object size
For best results, ensure masks are precisely created and source images have good resolution and lighting
Multiple processing passes may be beneficial for complex scenes with overlapping or intricate objects
The AI model intelligently analyzes surrounding context to generate realistic replacement content
