Key Steps

1

Navigate to Magic Edit and Upload Your Photo

Start by logging into your Expression Editor AI account and opening the "Magic Edit" feature. Choose a photo where there's a natural spot for a dog to appear, such as next to a person, on a sofa, or on the floor.

Select the "Versatile" Optimisation Mode

For adding animals, the "Versatile" optimisation mode is the best setting. It allows the AI to intelligently analyze the entire photo to find the most realistic way to add the dog, ensuring it matches the scene's lighting, shadows, and perspective.

Write a Prompt to Describe Your Canine Companion

Time to bring in the dog! In the prompt box, describe the dog you want to add. Be specific about the breed and where you want it. For example: "Add a happy golden retriever sitting on the floor next to her."

Apply, Generate, and Meet Your New Furry Friend

Click "Apply" and let the AI generate the new image. It will create a dog that blends seamlessly into your photo. Want a different breed or pose? Simply update your prompt and click generate again to create endless canine companions!
