## Image Editing Tools
Once your image is generated, Magai offers powerful editing capabilities:
### Inpainting
Inpainting allows you to modify specific parts of your image:
- Click the inpainting tool
- Your cursor becomes a brush
- Paint over the area you want to change
- Enter a description of what you want in that area
- Generate the change
This is perfect for adding elements, correcting details, or making selective modifications to otherwise perfect images.

Magai also offers several video generation models:

## Tips for Getting the Best Results

- Use the Prompt Enhanced feature to add rich detail to simple prompts
- For photorealism, try the Flux family of models
- For illustrations, cartoons, or CGI, consider Dalle-3 or Ideogram
- For design work and logos, try Ideogram with the design style setting
- Save your favorite prompts for reuse
