Selective Swap is an AI-FX filter that lets you modify a selected part of a guest’s image, such as their outfit, body, or entire look, while keeping their real face untouched.
With manual masking, you define which area of the uploaded source image the AI should transform. Using a targeted prompt, the AI will generate a new version of that region, producing a creative or branded output while keeping the guest recognizable.
Selective Swap is ideal for:
Realistic outfit swaps
Branded transformations (e.g., costumes, uniforms)
Stylized upgrades with artistic flair
Guests who want to “transform” without losing their identity
This filter is available in two styles:
Selective Swap – Real: Natural, photorealistic visuals
Selective Swap – Styled: Artistic, animated, or cartoon effects

Important Notes
Selective Swap requires precise prompt structuring for consistent output.
Reference images are recommended for identity-specific or style-targeted swaps.
Works best for single-person images.
Two filter types available: Real for photorealistic human likeness and Styled for more creative, animated, or illustrated outputs.
Each use of a Selective Swap effect consumes 2 credits due to the advanced processing required.- Ensure masks are fully applied to all target areas to avoid incomplete results or artifacts.
Regularly refine and test masks to address any inconsistencies or visual imperfections.
Setup Guide
Selective Swap includes two filter types: Real and Styled. Both follow the same setup process, with the only difference being the type of prompt used to generate the output. Always choose the filter that matches your desired output style:
Real: Best for photorealistic human visuals.
Styled: Best for cartoon, caricature, or illustrated effects.
Filter Setup Steps:
When selecting or creating a Selective Swap filter, you will configure: To optimize results, configure masks that fully cover intended replacement portions and use transparent overlays for adding personalized elements without disrupting the AI output.
Filter Name: Give your filter a clear, descriptive title.
Filter Preview: Upload a preview image that visually represents the intended output.
Options Section: Here, you will configure:
Source Image: This defines the visual style or reference used in the swap.
Mask: Specifies the region of the image to be replaced (e.g., face, shirt).
Prompt: Describe what should appear in the swapped region. Ensure this is aligned with either Real or Styled output style.
Prompt sample:
Realistic portrait, warm lighting, soft shadows, slightly sun-kissed skin, smooth, detailed skin texture, natural makeup, tousled medium-length hair, minimalistic background, high-resolution editorial style.
Troubleshooting Common Errors
If the desired results are not achieved:
Verify the mask is detailed and includes all required areas.
Re-test the filter using new overlays or adjusted masks to spot inconsistencies.
Ensure overlays do not obscure critical sections of the AI filter output.
By following these guidelines, you can effectively address issues and maximize the quality of outputs.
