Inpainting: Definition & Explanation
Inpainting is a technology where AI naturally replaces or restores selected regions of an image. It is used for removing unwanted objects, filling in backgrounds, and restoring damaged portions of images. Users specify a mask (the area to replace) and can provide a text prompt to guide what should be generated, producing results that blend seamlessly with the surrounding image. Built into image generation AIs like Stable Diffusion and DALL-E, it is used in photo retouching, advertising asset editing, and architectural visualization. Adobe's Generative Fill also utilizes this technology.
