Remove a Background

  1. Open your image in Magic Edit.
  2. Select Remove Background.
  3. Stocktree automatically detects your product's edges and removes the background.

Fixing Tricky Edges

For products with fine detail — jewellery, glass, fur, or loose fabric — use the edge refinement brush after the automatic removal to clean up any missed areas.

Common Questions

Why does the edge look rough on a reflective or transparent product?

Glass, chrome, and transparent materials are harder to auto-detect. Refine the edge manually with the brush tool, or start from a photo with a plainer, higher-contrast background for a cleaner automatic result.

How Do I Use Replace Background?

Swap your product into a new styled scene.

Replace Background places your product into a new setting entirely, matching the lighting so the result looks natural rather than pasted in.

Replace a Background

  1. Open your image (with or without the background already removed).
  2. Select Replace Background.
  3. Describe the new scene, or choose a ready-made scene from the picker.
  4. Generate — Stocktree places your product into the new setting and matches the lighting.

Fine-Tuning the Result

If the lighting or shadow doesn't quite match, regenerate with a more specific lighting description, or send the result to Retouch for a final polish.

How Do I Use Clean Up?

Brush away unwanted objects, blemishes, or clutter.

Clean Up removes unwanted elements from an image — a stray object in the background, a blemish on a product, or clutter you don't want in frame.

Remove an Object

Open your image in Magic Edit.

  1. Select Clean Up.
  2. Brush over the object or area you want removed.
  3. Click Apply — Stocktree fills the area seamlessly based on the surrounding image.

VIDEO PLACEHOLDER — Demo clip: brushing over an unwanted object and watching it disappear on Apply.

Common Questions

What's the difference between Clean Up and Retouch?

Clean Up removes whole objects or clutter. Retouch is for finer polish — smoothing texture or correcting small imperfections — without removing anything entirely. See How Do I Use Retouch? for details.

How Do I Use Generative Selection?

Regenerate one specific area of an image, leaving the rest untouched.

Generative Selection lets you select a region of an image and describe what should appear there instead — without regenerating the whole image.

Regenerate a Selected Area

  1. Open your image in Magic Edit.
  2. Select Generative Selection and draw around the region you want to change.
  3. Describe what you'd like to appear there instead.
  4. Click Generate.

VIDEO PLACEHOLDER — Demo clip: selecting a region, entering a new prompt, and generating just that area.

Common Questions

When should I use this instead of just regenerating the whole image?

Use Generative Selection whenever most of an image is already right and you only need to change one part — it preserves everything outside your selection exactly as it was.

  4. Generate and review.
