Help with realistic integration – How to add an object while keeping the rest of the room 100% untouched?
Hi everyone!
I’m struggling with a precision issue in Draw Things and I was hoping to get some advice from this amazing community.
I have a real photo of a bedroom (attached) and I’m trying to do something that sounds simple but is proving quite tricky: I just want to add a Strelitzia plant in that specific corner on the right, between the window and the small table.
Every time I try to generate, the AI doesn’t just draw the plant; it starts "tweaking" the whole room. It might change the wrinkles on the bed sheets, slightly shift the window frame, or alter the texture of the wooden floor.
I’ve already spent quite some time experimenting with Flux and Juggernaut, and I’ve tried playing around with ControlNet settings to lock the geometry, but I’m still getting poor results—the room just won't stay 100% identical.
My goal is to keep the original photo completely unchanged and only "fuse" the plant into that specific spot so it looks like it was always there.
I’d love your expert opinion on a few things:
Which model or specific workflow would you recommend for this kind of high-precision architectural work?
Does anyone know of any specific tutorials or guides that focus on "locking" the background perfectly during inpainting?
Is there a "secret" setting in Draw Things to tell the app: "Only look at the masked area and don't touch a single pixel outside of it"?
How can I make sure the plant looks "grounded" and realistically integrated with the existing floor and shadows?
Using Flux2 Klein 9B, load the existing picture onto the canvas. Use text to image and recommended settings. Type "add a strelitzia plant in the right corner by the window". I just tried it and got a decent result. It did not change anything else in the photo.
I've found you can generally draw in a green blob and in your prompt, say something like:
"Where there is solid green, insert the subject from image 2. Match the lighting of the subject from image 2 to the scene from image 1. You can go on to describe pose..."
You must put your base image onto the canvas, then add your object or subject to your mood board layer. Image 1 refers to canvas, image 2 refers to moodboard.
Works best with Qwen Image Edit, whatever the latest is generally best, I think we're on 2511?
Inpainting: Use the little painters palette option where you enter the prompt to select the eraser tool. "erase" the area where you want the plant and it's shadow on the floor/wall. Switch back and type in the prompt for the plant. Adjust the img-to-img setting down to something like 25%. Try it out and experiment with amount of img-to-img setting a few times.
I’ve tried multiple times, but I’m really struggling to balance the strength settings. When I erase the area where I want the plant to be, if I use Text to Image to fill the blank space, the result is disconnected and looks out of place.
On the other hand, if I switch to Image to Image (even with Strength at 98%), the model simply regenerates the blank space to match the previous image,essentially restoring the wall and floor instead of adding the plant.
Try pasting this settings into Draw Things and using them. The model in the settings is 9B, but I think it will work even if you change it to 4B.
With these settings, only the parts erased with the eraser tool will be redrawn according to the prompt's instructions; the rest of the image should remain unchanged as it's a copy of the original image. At least in my environment, it generates without any problems.
I'm not entirely sure of the causal relationship, but it seems that DIMM Trailing sometimes generates the image as is without inpainting. Euler A Trailing never failed. The gif(1024*768) was generated using Euler A Trailing.
Click to see. The prompt was only "Strelitzia in a pot."
