{% endstep %}

{% step %}
### Define the changes

Define how you want to restyle it.

{% hint style="info" %}
Example: dark wood chai&#x72;_. white background_
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Optionally, you can click the <mark style="color:purple;">blue magic wand button</mark> to refine your description. Alternatively, upload a reference image and press the same button to analyze it and generate an accurate description based on the attached image.
{% endhint %}

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
### Define the visualization parameters&#x20;

Define how much the AI model should follow your reference. This means:

* A lower value allows the AI **more creative freedom**, meaning it may deviate from your design and introduce new elements.
* A higher value ensures the AI **closely follows your sketch**, preserving details like line contours, which may result in a less realistic appearance.

### (Optional) Paint a specific area

For more accurate results, you can paint the area you want to edit on your original design. To do this, go to the '_Magic Brush_' page. [Learn more](../overview/tools) about pages.
