 "title": "Replace part of a photo with an AI layer that matches",
 "page_title": "How to replace part of a photo with an AI layer that matches with Scumble",
 "summary": "Select an area, describe the change, and get a colour-matched layer you can mask, blend or undo.",
 "who": "A photographer or social media editor who needs to remove an object or add something to one picture and has only an API key, no ComfyUI.",
 "problem": "Retouching a region with AI usually returns a flat new image that does not match the lighting, and changing it later means redoing the whole edit.",
 "outcome": "The edit sits as its own layer over the selection, faded at the edge and colour-matched to the surrounding picture, and can be adjusted or flattened when finished.",
 "steps": [
  "Download the Windows installer from https://github.com/DenRakEiw/scumble/releases/latest or run `winget install scumble` in a terminal.",
  "Open Scumble, press Ctrl+, to open Settings, go to API providers, paste your provider key and press Save.",
  "Open your picture, select the area to change with the brush, rectangle, lasso or magic wand, and type what should be there.",
  "Run the generation and check the new layer; move the Match slider in the layer's row if the colour does not blend well.",
  "Mask or erase parts of the layer as needed, then flatten the document only when you are happy with the result."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the Scumble repo at https://github.com/DenRakEiw/scumble, help me replace the selected area of <path to picture> with <description of change> through my API key for <provider>. Expected output: an edited picture with the result as a separate layer. Verify that the result appears as its own layer and that the status line names the provider used.",

  "Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit (the README lists Windows as the platform that runs today)",
