What is the effectve way to use the AI Editor?

In fact Gemini did a better jobs when I asked (second time) to remove shadows

 

Hi ​@DhandaNot I think the negative language is a big part of why that prompt failed. Words like without, do not, don’t regenerate, and "pixel-level only" often get ignored or, worse, make the model focus on the thing you told it not to do.

What happens if you use phrases such as: "reduced shadow on feathers, same texture" or "brightened feathers matching nearby plumage"?

I find Nano Banana follows commands better, so if it appears in the model picker, try it for this kind of edit. Let us know how it goes!

The elaborate prompt was: Reduce the shadows on the existing bird without altering its colour, shape, feathers, or details. Pixel-level adjustment only; do not regenerate the bird.

AI editor did not understand anything and disobeyed everything requested.
