Model Selection Guide

General Editing (Recommended)

Nano Banana Pro (
fal-ai/nano-banana-pro
)
  • Best overall for image editing and T2I
  • High quality, versatile
  • Good for most editing tasks

Style Transfer

FLUX Image-to-Image (
fal-ai/flux/dev/image-to-image
)
  • Best for: Artistic style changes
  • Strength: 0.3-0.5 for subtle, 0.7-0.9 for dramatic

Object Removal

Bria Fibo Edit (
fal-ai/bria/fibo-edit
)
  • Best for: Removing objects, people, text
  • Works without masks (AI detects objects from prompt)

Background Change

FLUX Kontext (
fal-ai/flux-kontext
)
  • Best for: Placing subjects in new environments
  • Preserves subject identity well

Inpainting

FLUX Inpainting (
fal-ai/flux/dev/inpainting
)
  • Best for: Precise edits with mask control
  • Requires binary mask (white = edit area)

Mask Tips

For inpainting and some removal tasks:
  • White pixels = areas to edit
  • Black pixels = areas to preserve
  • Use PNG format with transparency or solid colors
  • Feathered edges create smoother transitions

Troubleshooting

Edit Too Subtle

The edit is barely visible.

Increase the strength parameter:
--strength 0.85

Edit Too Dramatic

The edit changed too much of the image.

Decrease the strength parameter:
--strength 0.3

Object Not Removed

The object wasn't fully removed.

Tips:
1. Be more specific in the prompt
2. Try using an explicit mask
3. Use the inpainting model for precise control

Background Artifacts

The new background has artifacts around the subject.

Tips:
1. Use a cleaner source image
2. Try FLUX Kontext which handles edges better
3. Adjust the strength for smoother blending
