Sometimes, the AI-generated pixels don't have enough detail or proper blending, causing print quality issues at large scales.
Always review your extension at 100% zoom to see if the AI blended pixels smoothly. Fix any rough edges or mismatched areas before printing.
Use the 'Match Evening Mood' or 'Replace Sky' tools to better blend the extension with the original image. Adding subtle color adjustments helps too.
Relying on the AI to perfectly blend without manually checking or refining the extension can lead to visible seams or mismatched areas in large prints.
A photo editor or retoucher doing large-scale prints will notice these failures during final proofing or print setup.
AI can create a convincing extension, but for large prints, manual touch-up or blending is often needed to ensure quality at final size.
Yes, it's related because both involve creating or blending new pixels, but generated extensions focus on AI inventing missing parts for printing.
