Four sequential AI image edits. Synthetic fictional café. Built-in Codex image tool; exact backend and variant not exposed. Reviewed 9 September 2026.


EDIT A
Edit target: the attached fictional Northyards Coffee interior. TEST 04 A, precise-object-edit. EDIT THE EXISTING IMAGE, DO NOT REIMAGINE IT. Remove only the folded grey cloth lying on the near right edge of the grey counter, next to the white saucer. Reconstruct the small area of grey counter that was hidden beneath this cloth. Preserve the white saucer. Every other pixel and physical feature should stay unchanged: framing, exposure, NORTHYARDS COFFEE lettering, windows and handles, chair legs, three tables, plant branches, espresso machine, two pendants, shelf/cups, fir slats, concrete floor, exterior objects and geometry. Same 3:2 full frame. No new objects, no crop, no aesthetic restyling.


EDIT B
TEST 04 B. Edit the provided result A of fictional Northyards Coffee. EDIT THE EXISTING IMAGE, DO NOT REIMAGINE IT. Subtly improve only the natural photographic lighting: lift darkest interior shadows about one third stop while retaining the overcast daylight and highlight detail. Neutral white balance, no new light sources, no sunbeams. Keep absolutely unchanged every object's shape and position, all room geometry, floor and doormat textures, table legs, plants, ceiling beams, window frame and handles, signage with exact NORTHYARDS / COFFEE, espresso machine and cups, two pendants, counter slats and saucer. Cloth must remain absent. Same viewpoint, same full 3:2 frame and crop. No cleanup or texture replacement.


EDIT C
TEST 04 C. Edit target is result B of fictional Northyards Coffee. EDIT THE EXISTING IMAGE, DO NOT REIMAGINE IT. Produce slightly more usable negative space for an HTML caption by reframing ONLY through a modest crop of the existing image: remove a small strip of busy ceiling at the top so the existing blank centre plaster above the NORTHYARDS lettering has more compositional emphasis. Keep 3:2 aspect ratio. Do not expand/outpaint or invent any part of the room. Do NOT erase wall signage or objects to manufacture empty space. Preserve actual existing architecture, furnishings, textures, plants, counter, espresso machine, window geometry, natural lighting and saucer; the cloth remains absent. It is acceptable for a few peripheral pixels to leave frame because of the small crop. No typography added. No physical changes.


EDIT D
TEST 04 D. Edit the supplied result C ONLY. EDIT THE EXISTING IMAGE, DO NOT REIMAGINE IT. Produce a production editorial finish and a 3:2 crop for a dark byImprint profile fixture, keeping the existing current framing if further cropping would lose useful architecture. Very subtle neutral white balance and photographic sharpening only, restrained overcast daylight. Preserve every physical feature and current proportion including NORTHYARDS / COFFEE lettering, exact window/door framing, furniture count and shapes, counter base, slats, espresso machine, two pendants, plants and floor texture. Do not restore or reinvent earlier versions. No new material, no expansion/outpainting, no extra space or light sources, no skin, no people. The cloth stays absent. The goal is a polished photograph of precisely this current image, not a nicer place.
