A reflection is a second kind of the same event.
If the AI changes clothes, poses or objects only on the main person, the mirror retains the previous version. The error is especially noticeable not because of the quality of a picture, but due to a violation of communication between two areas of one scene.
Mirror, window and water show the scene in different ways
Gives a clear image with exact pose and clothing, but changes the visible side of the object.
Mixes the reflection of the street with products and light indoors.
It distorts the vertical with waves, reduces contrast and can trim part of the figure.
Changeable signs should be listed for both areas.
The "don't change the mirror" request is dangerous: it anchors old information, it's more reliable to preserve the surface itself, but synchronize the reflected person with the edit that has been made.
Reflection is not a horizontal copy of the photo
The camera sees the person and the mirror from different angles, so the sleeve that is closer to the Mirror can take up a different area, while the object in the right hand is displayed on the opposite side of the frame. Simply dubbing and flipping gives a visually clean but geometrically wrong result.
Rule the main person and reflection in one launch
- 01
Name the person or object that is the source of reflection.
- 02
Describe one change and its mandatory signs.
- 03
Ask to synchronize the reflection taking into account the surface angle.
- 04
Fix the frame, glass, waves and overlaps before reflection.
ExampleReplace the woman's jacket with a coral and synchronize her reflection in the mirror: same color, collar and sleeve length according to mirror angle. Save face, pose, frame, glare on the glass and interior.
Compare pairs of features, not the whole picture.
A small or heavily covered reflection can be checked with a separate crop.
If the mirror occupies a few percent of the frame, it is difficult for the model to simultaneously hold the face in the main portrait and fine synchronization. Do the first result, then separate local editing of reflection from the confirmed version.
It doesn't mean repainting the mirror from scratch. Secure frame boundaries, brightness, overlaps and existing surface defects by changing only a mismatched feature.
Reflection must change with the cause.
You can save the surface, you can't save old information. Good editing takes into account common features, different geometry and your own properties of a mirror or glass or water.
