Editing Images - Overview
Renovate AI (RAI) offers three main ways to edit the image (the photo you uploaded) to re-imagine your space:
- Tell RAI field – (most common) use this when you want to “tell RAI” what changes you want to make to the image
- Style Application (sometimes called Style Transfer) – use this when you’re playing around with different ideas for inspiration
- Design Consultation – use this when you want RAI to walk you through a question-answer type of experience to re-imagine your space
Here is a breakdown of when to use which editing method:
| Tell RAI Field | Design Consultation | Style Application / Style Transfer |
|---|---|---|---|
Best When | You have some ideas about what you’d like to do to the space | You need RAI to walk you though a step-by-step (question/answer) approach | You are looking for inspiration or just messing around with the direction you’d like the space to take |
Examples | From the main editing screen, which we call the “canvas,” click the Tell RAI field and enter: “Change the flooring to colorful tile” “Remove the couch”“Add a walkway from the driveway to the main door” | At the bottom of the home screen, click Designer. Upload your photos of the space, and answer a question or two about what you don’t like about the space and what you wish it could be.The RAI Designer will create a Design Consultation Report for you, including an image of your re-imaged space. | From the main editing screen, which we call the “canvas,” click Inspiration Library | Styles | Modern (modern style) |
Limitations | Your ability to describe the changes you want RAI to make | A Design Consultation Report provides lots of details. It can take minutes to create, so it requires you to have more patience than RAI’s other editing methods. Hang tight! The coliseum wasn’t built in a day! (But 5 minutes seems about right by today’s standards.) | RAI will make broad assumptions about the changes you want to make. Using styles is a great way to get ideas for a space, but it gives you less control than the other methods. |
Tips | You can add your own custom images, which we call “components” (paint colors, flooring, tile, wall coverings, textiles, furnishings) to RAI’s Imagination Library and then apply them to your image using the Tell RAI field. See Adding Components | Upload multiple photos of your space from different angles, so the RAI designer can get a more complete sense of the space. | You can use all of these editing methods together. So for example, if you start with styles, you can save your image and make additional changes using the Tell RAI field. |
