Change Clothing Colors Accurately

1

Use Even Lighting

Avoid shadows that distort the original color. Natural daylight works best.

2

Be Specific with Colors

Use exact shades: "navy blue" not "blue," "burgundy" not "red."

3

Preserve Texture

Add "keep fabric texture" to maintain realistic material appearance.

Photo Guidelines for Color Changes

Even neutral lighting = accurate color replacement.

Do This

  • Solid color garments (easier)
  • Even neutral lighting
  • Minimal shadows on fabric
  • Clear fabric texture visible
  • High resolution image
  • Neutral background color

Avoid This

  • Strong colored lighting
  • Harsh shadows across fabric
  • Busy patterns or prints
  • Low resolution pixelation
  • Heavy color filters applied
  • Overexposed highlights
💡

Color Tip

Avoid colored ambient light (red walls, blue LED). Neutral white light helps AI see the true fabric color for accurate replacement.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Quick fixes for the most common problems

Outfit doesn't look realistic

Solutions:

  • Use a higher quality source photo (at least 512px resolution)
  • Ensure good lighting in your original photo
  • Try a more detailed prompt with specific colors and materials
  • Avoid complex poses - neutral standing poses work best

Body proportions look wrong

Solutions:

  • Make sure your full body or 3/4 body is visible in the photo
  • Stand in a neutral, upright pose
  • Avoid extreme camera angles or distortion
  • Use photos taken at eye level, 6-8 feet away

Colors don't match my description

Solutions:

  • Be very specific about colors (e.g., "navy blue" not just "blue")
  • Mention material types that affect color (e.g., "matte black" vs "glossy black")
  • Try regenerating - AI has some randomness
  • Check that your photo has good color accuracy

Background got changed or distorted

Solutions:

  • Use photos with simple, uncluttered backgrounds
  • Avoid busy patterns or complex scenes behind you
  • Stand away from walls or objects
  • Try using a plain background if possible

Generation takes too long or fails

Solutions:

  • Check your internet connection
  • Try a smaller image file (under 5MB)
  • Refresh the page and try again
  • Contact support if problem persists
