Background Replacement Workflow

Pick the intent mode first, then load a picture, direct what it should do, isolate regions, preview motion, verify replay, and export from the same polished local studio.

Phase 29 adds background replacement workflow planning with subject placement locks, lighting notes, camera direction, lightweight local backdrop preview, and provider-ready handoff contracts while preserving the Phase 26.1 i5-safe performance fixes.

Phase 29 Console

Create or load a starting picture, choose a prompt mode, manage still variations, apply scene restyles, add/remove object jobs, preserve composition and identity/product locks, then build, save, load, paint, mask, brush, vectorize, seam-optimize, drive camera motion, audit, verify, preview, and export from one deterministic project contract.

Image Creation Placeholder

Phase 24 turns creative direction into a starting-image request. It can generate a deterministic local placeholder still now, while also writing a clean provider-ready contract for a later Grok/Vidu/local-model adapter.

Image Edit Instruction Schema

Phase 25 turns edit requests into a structured schema for restyle, add object, remove object, change background, change wardrobe, relight, crop, extend, and repair. This is still local/offline; it prepares clean edit jobs for later provider adapters.

Still Image Variation Manager

Phase 26 saves alternative still results. Phase 26.1 keeps candidates source-ready by reference instead of duplicating large base64 data into every variation. This is still local/offline; provider result import comes later.

Phase 27 applies procedural preview grades and writes a provider-ready restyle request while preserving composition, identity/product details, and selected still-variation targets. This is still local/offline; no cloud restyle is called.

Add/remove Object Workflow

Phase 28 turns add/remove object requests into lightweight local placeholder overlays and provider-ready edit jobs. This still does not synthesize real AI pixels; it gives you a testable workflow, masks, placement, and contracts for future adapters.

Background Replacement Workflow

Phase 29 swaps or plans a new background while preserving subject placement, lighting notes, and camera direction. This is still local/offline: the preview is a lightweight backdrop plate and the JSON is provider-ready for later adapters.

Image-to-Motion Basics

Phase 20 verifies the first complete local workflow: image load, picture instructions, masks, real motion, loop preview, replay, and WebM export. Phase 24 now sits above it as the local image-creation placeholder and provider-request layer for starting-image generation.
