At the core of the NewArc.ai sketch-to-image generator is a mix of randomness and creativity. It allows fashion and footwear designers to generate images and experiment with a variety of ideas in a matter of minutes.
However, sometimes it can be challenging to achieve an accurate image that matches a designer's vision. This is where our Editing tools allow you to put the finishing touches on the image to achieve perfection.
How Editing tools work
Use Inpainting, Regeneration and Removal tools to turn a sketch into a photo you really want:
To start editing an image, click on the "Edit" button below the image:

Key features of the Editing tools
1. Inpainting
Modify a part of a generated image by describing in the prompt how you'd like to change it. For instance, you could tell it to make the sole of a sneaker gold.

2. Regeneration
Generate a new version of a specific part of an image based on the original prompt. For example, get a new version of the hood without changing the current aesthetics, colors and materials.

3. Removal
Get rid of tiny unwanted elements from your generated image, whether it is logos or body parts.

Remember that any changes made using the Inpainting and Regeneration tools will stick to the contours of the original input image. This lets you preserve the object's original shape while allowing for continuous refinement.
Useful tips
1. Describe the whole object for Inpainting
Always specify the entire object and its color in the prompt.
For instance, to change the material and color of the hood and sleeves of a hoodie, mask the hood and sleeves first, and then provide a prompt:
- Correct: A grey hoodie made of cotton β
- Incorrect: Grey hood and sleeves made of cotton β
- Incorrect: Grey, cotton β
Make sure you describe the entire hoodie, even if you only need to change the hood and sleeves. The AI, guided by the mask, will understand that only the hood and sleeves need to be modified.

2. Use hotkeys to control your brush
- 'x': Toggle between brush and eraser modes.
- '[': Decrease brush size.
- ']': Increase brush size.
3. Use negative prompt to remove body parts
If the AI adds unwanted elements like a head or a leg, you can Inpaint these areas by masking them and specifying "head, leg" in the negative prompt.
Alternatively, you can try the Regeneration and Removal tools to see what works best.

4. Use removal tool to get rid of small elements
The Removal tool is great for removing small details such as logos or strings. However, it might struggle with large areas. So try to use it to remove small elements.
In the example below, the generated image has a logo and an extra hole for the laces:

Now we can mask these elements and use the Removal tool to get rid of them:

5. Draw a mask to capture lines from the input image
For best results with Inpainting, make sure your mask captures lines from the input image. For example, if you're modifying a hood, your mask should include the hood's outline.
