What does the AI Golden Hour effect change?

AI Golden Hour performs a scene-aware generative edit guided by the source image, changing the requested area while aiming for coherent perspective, lighting, and identity. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with AI Golden Hour?

Choose AI Golden Hour for scene-aware background changes, consistent campaign-image variations, or damaged or undersized photographs when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains ambiguous low-resolution subjects, hidden facial features, or requests that require inventing exact factual details not present in the source.
