Inpainting

Plain-English explanation

Inpainting lets users replace, repair, or extend parts of an image while preserving the rest. Good masks and preservation instructions matter.

Why it matters

Inpainting matters because it affects how AI systems are designed, evaluated, priced, or trusted. Knowing the term helps you ask better questions and avoid vague implementation decisions.

• Ask how it changes quality, cost, speed, or safety.
• Look for concrete examples in the workflow you are building.
• Document the tradeoff before choosing a tool or architecture.
