Key Steps

1

Navigate to Magic Edit and Upload Your Photo

First, log into your Expression Editor AI account and go to the "Magic Edit" feature. Upload a photo that has some space for a new furry friend, like an empty lap, a sofa cushion, or a spot on the floor.

2

Select the "Versatile" Optimisation Mode

For adding a new subject like an animal, the "Versatile" optimisation mode is your best choice. It gives the AI the flexibility to analyze the entire scene and find the most natural way to place the cat, matching lighting and perspective.

3

Write a Prompt to Describe Your New Friend

Now for the fun part! In the prompt box, describe the cat you want to meet. Be specific about the breed and placement, for example, "Add a fluffy Ragdoll cat curled up on her lap."

4

Apply, Generate, and Welcome Your New Pet

Click "Apply" and let the AI create your new image. It will render a cat that looks like it belongs in the photo. Want a different breed or pose? Just update your prompt and generate again to meet a new companion!
