Lesson

Most finished work is one good frame with four fixes in it: a hand redone, a label cleaned, a shadow corrected, the frame extended to make a different crop. Masked editing is where that happens, and it is a much larger share of a real day than prompting is.

From above, a photograph of a woman with a cup lies under a paper mask on a light table. A soft-edged hole is torn over her hand, and a retoucher sponges paint through it. Blank paper strips are taped to both sides to widen the picture.
Mask more than the fault and soften the edge. The blank strips will stretch it to new crops.
