You can use Retouch to add and change an area of an image as well as erase objects. It works in a similar way to Edit with AI, except that you choose which area of the image Photoroom will change.
You "paint" over the area where the new object or change will appear
You describe what you want to add or change in a prompt
Photoroom makes the changes and blends the background to make the image look realistic.
For example, in the image below, we used Retouch to draw over an area near the model's hand. We then used a prompt to add a black bag.
Note: Retouch is available as a dedicated standalone tool (for new designs) and as a feature within the editor (for existing designs). In this article, we cover both ways of using Retouch for adding and changing.
