Definition: AI inpainting


An AI photo restoration and modification function. AI inpainting allows parts of an image to be modified either by clearing up a faded or flawed area or by superimposing something else in that place. For example, Stable Diffusion and Midjourney offer AI inpainting as do many other AI applications. See Dream Studio and Midjourney.

How It's Done
The surrounding pixels in the modification area are examined to determine the borders where objects start and end. Pixels within the area are either adjusted with different shades and colors, or they are replaced entirely with a new image. Inpainting is offered in many products and long before AI was on the tip of everyone's tongue.
