Pain Points (Public)

Individual creators and business owners frequently capture critical photos with composition, lighting, or staging defects—such as missing product packaging, poor ambient exposure, awkward neck postures, or unwanted bystanders. Generic consumer filters fail at contextual compositing, struggling to harmonize realistic contact shadows, match focal depth, and preserve human anatomical fidelity during complex object insertion or removal.

Suggested Approach (Public)

Develop a precision photo manipulation pipeline integrating depth-aware inpainting and pose-guided synthesis (using ControlNet and Depth estimation) alongside automated shadow generation and relighting. This pipeline allows targeted object insertion, posture re-alignment, and seamless artifact removal while dynamically calibrating against the target image's light source direction, color temperature, and sensor grain.

Development brief PRO

Worth building?
Needs validation first
How to position

What to build first
    1. Web canvas interface built with HTML/CSS and JavaScript allowing image upload, brush masking for person removal, and side-by-side comparison.
