# What is Inpainting?

Regenerating only a masked area of an image, such as a stray cable or a wrong label, while the rest of the frame stays as it was. You mask the spot, describe the fix, and the model blends it in.

## In real work

The packshot was approved except for the photographer reflected in the bottle, so the retoucher used inpainting to replace just that patch of glass.
