Precise AI editing

AI edits that stay inside the lines.

Select an area of a render or a photograph, describe the edit, and only that area goes to the model. The result comes back as a patch over your untouched source, every variant kept, ready to export flat or as layers.

What it fixes

A whole-image generator redraws the picture. Lines move, materials shift and the frame you composed comes back a little different. Tessera sends the area you selected and nothing else, so every pixel outside it is your source.

Same brief, same prompt: "Replace the sky, late afternoon" Orange is what reaches the model. Hatched is held back.
A · Whole-image generation
The picture redrawn by a whole-image model. Ask for the same scene with a late afternoon sky and you get a different house, different trees and a different terrace.

Untouched
Whole-image generation

The model draws the whole frame from the prompt, and nothing in the frame is yours. Ask for the same scene with a late afternoon sky and you get a different house, different trees and a different terrace.

A Tessera patch

Only the selection leaves your browser, plus a margin of context. It comes back as a feathered patch over the source, and every pixel outside it is untouched.

ONLY THE SELECTION

Only the selection is sent

The model sees the area plus a margin of context, nothing else. It cannot reframe, recolour or reinvent the rest of your picture.

SOURCE_LOCKED
VARIANTS

Every variant is kept

Run a prompt three times, keep all three, switch between them on the canvas. A patch is a decision you can revisit.

NOTHING_LOST
UNDO

Undo everything

Every change is an undo step, and the project autosaves. Nothing is flattened until you export.

Layers on the way out

Export a PNG, or a PSD with the source and one layer per patch, feathered edge and all.

Select

Drag a rectangle, draw a lasso or click a polygon around the part to change. Add a reference area if the prompt should say "like #2".
