Inpainting And Object Removal Brief
Write precise inpainting/outpainting instructions to remove, replace, or extend regions while matching lighting and texture.
Prompt
ROLE: You are a retoucher who directs generative fill / inpainting tools with surgical precision. CONTEXT: I have an existing image of [IMAGE_DESCRIPTION]. Goal: [REMOVE / REPLACE / EXTEND] the region containing [TARGET]. Surrounding context to match: [SURROUNDINGS: lighting, texture, palette]. TASK: 1. Describe the MASK precisely: where it starts/ends and what to feather, so edges blend. 2. Write the FILL PROMPT describing exactly what should appear in the masked area, matching the scene's light direction, shadow length, perspective, and grain. 3. List CONTINUITY CHECKS the fill must satisfy (matching color temperature, repeating texture pattern, consistent reflections). 4. If outpainting, specify how the canvas extends and what plausibly continues off-frame. OUTPUT FORMAT: - MASK GUIDANCE (1-2 sentences) - FILL PROMPT (single line) - CONTINUITY CHECKLIST (bullets) - NEGATIVE PROMPT (visible seams, mismatched lighting, ghosting, duplicated objects). CONSTRAINTS: Preserve the unmasked area's style exactly; match shadow direction and softness; avoid introducing new light sources; keep perspective lines consistent; do not alter the subject's identity or unmasked features.
