Quick answer
Mark the extra figure and its shadow, name the people to retain, and describe the background that should replace the masked area. Compare the generated candidate with the original before using it.
For creators correcting an existing comic, manga or webtoon panel. This guide covers fictional cast mistakes, rather than general photo retouching or planning a new character.
Which repair should you use?
| Situation | Recommended approach | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Small bystander on an empty wall | Mask the figure and its shadow | Check wall texture and perspective lines. |
| Duplicate protagonist overlaps the real protagonist | Redraw the panel with the approved cast | Check the retained character’s face, hands and silhouette. |
| Extra face appears only in one reflection | Mask the reflection area | Keep intentional reflections of the main cast. |
| Correct image, wrong speaker pointer | Edit the speech-bubble layer | Avoid regenerating the picture for an editable pointer. |
What this workspace produces
This workspace creates a new image candidate through an existing LlamaGen editing flow. It does not automatically replace a saved comic panel. Keep the source, compare the result, and use the project editor when you need to replace a particular panel.
When to use a different workflow
If the extra figure overlaps an approved face or limb, consider a panel redraw. A local removal must invent any scene content hidden behind the figure.
Step-by-step workflow
Upload and mark the extra figure
Brush over the unwanted person and associated shadow. Retain the approved faces and props outside the mask.
Describe what should replace it
Specify the background to reconstruct and which people remain. Replace the generic editing instruction with details from your panel.
Generate and inspect
Follow the existing sign-in and credit prompts. Compare cast count, background joins and neighboring anatomy before downloading a candidate.
A worked editing brief
Illustrative writing example. This is not a recorded before-and-after image test or a customer result.
An original two-person bakery scene contains an accidental third adult by the left doorway. The customer, baker, paper bag and counter are approved.
An ambiguous instruction
Remove the wrong character and fix the scene.
A more specific instruction
What would make the result acceptable?
Accept only if the extra adult is gone, exactly the intended two people remain, and the floor joins cleanly. Reject a version that deletes the paper bag or changes the customer’s face.
Review the result before accepting it
- Count the intended visible people, including meaningful silhouettes.
- Check faces, hands and held props beside the edited region.
- Inspect repeating background patterns at the mask edge.
- Read dialogue and check who each pointer addresses.
- Compare neighboring panels before replacing the original.
If the edit still misses the mark
- A faint silhouette remains
- Include the figure’s shadow or reflection in a new mask; do not enlarge onto approved faces.
- The main character changed
- Restore the original and reduce the mask. Use the project’s reference-aware redraw if the figures overlap.
- A new bystander appears
- Make the desired empty area explicit. Simplify the current cast and reference selection.
Common questions
Can I remove a duplicate without redrawing the whole page?
Often a separate duplicate can be addressed with a local mask. When it overlaps important anatomy, redraw only the affected panel and inspect identity again.
Will a prompt guarantee that nobody else changes?
No. Preservation instructions express intent. Compare the candidate with the source before accepting it.
Does the standalone tool update my comic automatically?
No. It produces a repair candidate. Save it and use the existing project editor to replace the intended panel.
Should I upload every character sheet?
Use the references relevant to the current panel. A story-wide cast sheet can introduce people who should be absent from this scene.
