| Measured fixture results | Not verified | Not verified |
| Fixture findings | Removed three signs and generated coherent background; verify newly generated details against the original scene. | Removed signs promptly after brushing in this test; free output was reduced to 720px. |
| Original historical observation | Krea Edit's Change Region (powered by Krea 3 Beta) maps the 3 brush masks to @1, @2, and @3 reference tags, erasing all 3 neon signs while synthesizing ultra-crisp 2048×2048 book spines and trailing vines to take #1 overall in Object Removal (90.5, structural PSNR=19.09dB, SSIM=0.7683). | Cleanup.pictures’ signature release-to-erase workflow removes each sign in ~3.3s with clean background continuation; its only limitation is the upfront 720×720 SD resolution cap on the free tier. |
| Suitable uses · historical assessment | Designers who need both best-in-class complex texture reconstruction (bookshelves, foliage, wood grain) and full 2048×2048 watermark-free output | Casual users who want frictionless, unlimited, release-to-erase cleanup for social/web images where 720p suffices |
