Step-by-Step Guide to Using PicLumen’s AI Replace:
Now that you know what PicLumen’s AI Replace can do, let’s explore a few specific scenarios in which this powerful tool can truly shine.
First thing first, I’ll tell you guys the regular steps for using our AI image replacer:
- Step 1: Brush Over the Area You Want to Change
- Step 2: Enter Your Prompt
- Step 3: Generate Your New Image
Now let’s start the major part of the day, how you actually work with AI Replace.
Scenario 1: Transforming a Dull Sky into a Vibrant Sunset
Let’s say you’ve generated an image with a beautiful landscape, but the sky looks dull and overcast.It looks like this:
But you need a brighter image and want to change the sky. The AI replacement function allows you to perform a couple of actions.
How to do:
1. Select the brush size and paint the area you want to replace.
2. Input your prompt to describe what sky you need.
3. Submit your request and wait for the new image.
Then you will get this result:
It looks okay, right? But don’t you think there’s still a disconnect between the sky and the ground? They are not harmonious. Don’t worry, I have a tip to improve it.
The key point is to paste your primary text prompts when you type replace prompt.
For the former image, I just entered the prompt to describe the sky I want—”under a vibrant sunset sky with warm tones of soft orange and pink, with pinkish-purple in the distance.”
To get a better result, I pasted the primary prompts. I incorporated the new sky description – “A wide-angle shot of a serene landscape with rolling hills, under a vibrant sunset sky with warm tones of soft orange and pink, with pinkish-purple in the distance, captured during the late afternoon with soft, diffused light, shot with a Sony A7R IV, 28mm lens, subtle cool tones”. Then I get this image:
Scenario 2: Adding a Playful Element to a Simple Scene
If you get an image that’s not too bad, but on closer inspection, it’s a bit boring. Then, it’s time for our Inpainting to step in; paint the parts that need more detail, then enter your description.
I also have tips for the replacement. As you can see, I added two details to the picture. Actually, I did two separate AI swaps. I know you guys want a one-time result, and I’ve tried that, too, but I didn’t get satisfactory results. Therefore, I generated them separately and then got a more ideal result.
For the first generation, I replaced the eggs with Easter Eggs. Then, I brushed the wall to add some decorations based on the first-time generated image.
Another tip is that when you swap little parts that don’t significantly influence the image, you could just type the necessary text prompts without pasting the primary prompt.
Scenario 3: A Red Umbrella in the Dim Rain
This usage is suitable for highlighting the focal point of your image or making the colours more harmonious. However, I would suggest changing the colors for specific items. If the overall colors of the image do not meet your expectations, modify your text prompts and add a description of the colors, then generate a new one.
Scenario 4: A Face Swap into a Bearded Male
No bullshit, just look at my creation:
Advanced Tips for Optimizing AI Replace
Now that you’ve got the basics down, let’s kick things up a notch! PicLumen’s AI Replace isn’t just about quick fixes—it’s a powerful tool that can help you achieve some truly amazing results. These advanced tips will help you get the most out of AI Replace, whether aiming for photorealism, artistic effects, or something in between.
Refine your prompts for better result
The quality of your text prompts plays a huge role in the success of your AI Replace edits. Here’s how you can optimize your prompts:
- Be Specific: The more detailed your prompt, the better the AI can understand and execute your vision. Instead of saying “replace with a tree,” try “replace with an oak tree with dark green leaves and a thick trunk.”
- Use Descriptive Language: Include color, texture, lighting, and mood in your prompts. For instance, “replace the sky with a sunset with deep orange and purple hues, with the sun half-set and rays peeking through clouds.”
- Test Variations: Don’t hesitate to tweak and test different prompts if the first result isn’t exactly what you wanted. Sometimes, small changes in wording can lead to significantly different results.
Refining your prompts allows you to guide the AI more effectively, ensuring the replacements fit your creative vision.
Pay Attention to Lighting and Shadows
One of the keys to making AI Replace edits look natural is matching the lighting and shadows of the new element with the existing scene. Here’s how to optimize this:
- Observe the Light Source: Before making replacements, identify the light source in your image. Ensure the new element aligns with this source—shadows should fall in the same direction, and the lighting should be consistent.
- Adjust the Lighting Manually: If the AI-generated replacement doesn’t perfectly match the existing lighting, use PicLumen’s editing tools to tweak brightness, contrast, and shadow intensity. This helps ensure that everything looks cohesive.
Matching lighting and shadows is essential for creating believable, professional-quality images.
