Key Steps

1

Navigate to Magic Edit and Upload Your Photo

First, log into your Expression Editor AI account and navigate to the "Magic Edit" feature from the dashboard page. Upload a photo where the subject's head and shoulders are clearly visible. A photo without existing headwear is ideal.

2

Select the "Clothing" Optimisation Mode

To ensure the AI is perfectly tuned for this task, select the "Clothing" optimisation mode. This tells the AI to pay special attention to fashion items, ensuring a more realistic and high-quality result for the hat.

3

Write a Clear and Descriptive Prompt

Now, tell the AI what you want to add. Be specific! Instead of just "add a hat," use a detailed prompt like "a stylish, wide-brim straw hat." You can even specify colors or materials for a more tailored look.

4

Apply, Generate, and Style

Click "Apply" and let Expression Editor AI work its magic. In moments, you'll have a new version of your photo with the hat added. Feel free to experiment with different hat styles by changing the prompt and generating again!
