Introduction to AI Masking: Explain what masking is and how it can be used to refine designs.

Masking is a powerful tool used in digital design that allows you to selectively modify and enhance specific areas of an image without affecting the rest. This technique is particularly useful in interior design, where precision and detail are paramount.
At its core, AI masking involves creating a “mask” — a layer that defines which parts of an image can be edited and which parts remain unchanged. Imagine you’re painting a wall but want to keep the moldings and windows untouched; a mask would be like the painter’s tape that protects these areas.
In the context of interior design, AI masking allows designers to apply changes to specific elements of a room — such as walls, furniture, or fixtures — without altering the rest of the space. This targeted approach enables designers to experiment with different colors, textures, and materials quickly and efficiently.

The mask you create will appear in the masking menu, ready to be used to generate your design.

Step 1: Upload image


Step 2: Select Image Type: Choose from a 3D model snapshot, rendering, sketch, or realistic photo in JPG or PNG format.
2. Write a Prompt and a Negative Prompt: Describe what you want your final result to look like using a detailed prompt. Be specific about the styles, colors, and elements you wish to include. Simultaneously, write a negative prompt to specify what you want to exclude from the final render. This could include certain materials, colors, or design elements that you do not wish to appear.


Step 3: Describe your result image
3. Draw Your Mask: Optionally, you can draw a mask to select specific areas of the image you want to modify, leaving the rest unchanged. This tool is useful if you wish to focus changes on particular elements without affecting the entire image. For a detailed guide on using this feature effectively, please read “How to Use AI Masking in Spacely AI.”

4. Adjust the Advanced Settings: Optionally, you can fine-tune the advanced settings to match your preferences and optimize your results. We offer four advanced settings that you can adjust. We will go through each one to explain how they affect the resulting image.







2. Item is not changing: When using masking to alter an object within your design and noticing no changes or incorrect changes, it’s beneficial to extend the mask slightly beyond the immediate area of the object. This gives the AI additional space to seamlessly blend and replace the object within the context of the surrounding environment.

In conclusion, mastering AI masking and settings in Spacely AI provides you with the tools needed for precision in design. From understanding the basics of AI masking to tweaking advanced parameters, this guide has walked you through enhancing your design workflow.
