AI photo editing is strongest when the instruction says both what to change and what must not change.
Use editing when the source image is already close to the goal. Ask for a specific change: background, light, style, cleanup, crop, or product presentation.
Avoid asking for too many changes at once. Smaller edits are easier to evaluate and repeat.
