# Invert

## BRIEF OVERVIEW

By selecting INVERT, you can use the mask brush to protect areas you DON'T want Transformed. <br>

Our system will Mask what is NOT highlighted. Great for changing environments around a character or protecting minor areas you want preserved

## INVERT INPAINT DEMO

This workflow is if you want to preserve parts of your image, but want to aggressively change everything else in your image. For this example we love parts of the shoe, but we don't like the rest of the shoe or the environment and want to really change it up!

\
Step 1: Send the image to Transform suite.&#x20;
------------------------------------------------

\
Step 2: Select inpaint brush and brush a mask around the area you want to preserve. Select invert so the system knows you are masking what SHOULD NOT be changed.&#x20;
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 3: Select the MJ XL Model (optional) and prompt the change you want to see with the area not masked.  \

Here are the results:
