This tutorial uses Ernie Image Turbo in Draw Things on Mac to repair selected parts of generated images. The speaker demonstrates image-to-image inpainting with a text-to-image model and argues that a dedicated editing model is unnecessary for some repairs. The examples cover Porsche rear lettering, small Chinese text on a Sprite can, and distorted hands.

The workflow starts by enlarging the problem area on the canvas without leaving transparent empty space. The speaker suggests a working resolution around 1024 × 1024, switches to image-to-image mode, and sets strength above 85%, usually around 90%. The eraser marks the area to redraw. A short prompt describes the intended result, such as the Porsche logo or hands resting naturally on knees. The speaker describes Draw Things' repair mode as changing only the erased area.

The examples also include removing a microphone. Claims of perfect repairs and better results than editing models reflect the speaker's assessment of these examples.

Visible seams remain a possible limitation. The suggested fixes are to adjust the processed region for more surrounding context and tune mask blur or mask blur outset to soften the boundary.
