Generation or editing — pick the mode
Generation or editing — pick the mode
A bakery wants their product photo kept exactly as it is — same pastry, same plate — but with the background replaced by a warm café table scene. Everything about the pastry itself must stay identical.
Which mode fits the task best?
Hint
Ask: is the goal to construct something new, or to change one thing in an image that already exists?
Why this is the answer
Generation constructs from your words; editing transforms an image you supply. The moment a brief contains “keep everything else the same”, you want an edit — ideally on a selected region. That single choice is the difference between a product photo and a product photo of something that is no longer your product.
