}'Prompt Tips for Object Removal
When requesting object removal, include these details in your prompt:
- What to remove: Be specific about the object(s) to remove
- Location: Describe where the object is in the image (left, right, center, background)
- Fill guidance: Describe what should replace the removed area
- Context preservation: Mention if certain elements should be kept intact
Example Prompt Structure
"Remove [object description] from [location in image].
Fill the area with [expected background/content].
Keep [elements to preserve] intact."Good Prompt Examples
- "Remove the person in the blue jacket standing near the fountain on the left side"
- "Remove all text and watermarks from the image, restore the original background"
- "Remove the car and fill with matching grass and pathway"
Prompts to Avoid
- "Clean up this photo" (too vague)
- "Remove stuff" (not specific)
- "Make it better" (unclear objective)
Mode Selection
| Mode | Best For | Speed | Quality |
|---|---|---|---|
max | Final deliverables, complex removals, professional work | Slower | Highest |
eco | Quick previews, simple removals, bulk processing | Faster | Good |
Recommendation: Use max mode for complex removals (people, large objects) and eco for simple cleanups (small blemishes, dust spots).
Best Practices
For Best Results
- High-resolution source: Use the highest quality source image available
- Clear descriptions: Be specific about what to remove and where it is
- Simple backgrounds: Objects in front of simple, repetitive backgrounds are easier to remove cleanly
- Multiple passes: For complex scenes, use multi-turn removal to address one element at a time
Challenging Scenarios
- Complex backgrounds: Objects in front of detailed, unique backgrounds may require manual refinement
- Large objects: Removing very large objects (more than 30% of image) may produce less realistic results
- Reflections: Objects with reflections may need separate removal requests for the object and its reflection
- Shadows: Remember to request shadow removal if the object casts a visible shadow
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
Failed to create prediction: HTTP 422 | Insufficient balance | Top up at eachlabs.ai |
| Content policy violation | Prohibited content | Review content guidelines |
| Timeout | Complex generation | Set client timeout to minimum 10 minutes |
| Poor removal quality | Vague prompt | Be more specific about location and fill content |
Client Timeout Configuration
Object removal operations can take time, especially for complex scenes. Configure your HTTP client with a minimum 10 minute timeout to avoid premature disconnections.
# Example with extended timeout
