Segmentation
Tap the wall.
Change only the wall.
Renovate AI finds each object in your photo: the walls, the floor, the cabinets and the furniture. Tap an object to select it. Then tell RAI what to change.
Tap an object in the photo.
ChatGPT: No segmentation. It cannot select one object. It makes the full image again, so other parts also change.
Precise edits
Change one thing.
Keep everything else.
Tell RAI: “Paint the walls charcoal and the garage doors gray.” RAI changes the walls and the doors. The roof, the driveway and the trees stay the same.
