Different angles.<\/strong>&nbsp;Left foot points left. Right foot points right. Your new shoes need to match both angles perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Floor contact.<\/strong>&nbsp;The sole needs to touch the ground naturally. One pixel off and it floats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Real shadows.<\/strong>&nbsp;The new shoes need shadows that match your original lighting. Not too dark. Not too light. Just right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manual editing struggles with all three. AI handles them automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-what-you-need\">2\u3001What You Need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Photoshop (any recent version)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PsAide plugin with Nano Banana Pro<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your model photo<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"553\" height=\"569\" src=\"https:\/\/asset.psaide.com\/blog-assets\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-68.png\" alt=\"Your model photo\" class=\"wp-image-5917\" style=\"width:620px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asset.psaide.com\/blog-assets\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-68.png 553w, https:\/\/asset.psaide.com\/blog-assets\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-68-292x300.png 292w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 553px) 100vw, 553px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your new shoe product image<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"379\" height=\"255\" src=\"https:\/\/asset.psaide.com\/blog-assets\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-67.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5916\" style=\"width:620px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asset.psaide.com\/blog-assets\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-67.png 379w, https:\/\/asset.psaide.com\/blog-assets\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-67-300x202.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 379px) 100vw, 379px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>60 seconds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-the-3-step-workflow\">3\u3001The 3-Step Workflow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: Mark in Red<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open your model photo in Photoshop. Grab the Lasso Tool. Draw a rough selection around each shoe. Fill with bright red (R=255, G=0, B=0).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s it. No perfect edges needed. Just cover the shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"615\" height=\"760\" src=\"https:\/\/asset.psaide.com\/blog-assets\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-69.png\" alt=\"Mark in Red\" class=\"wp-image-5918\" style=\"width:620px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asset.psaide.com\/blog-assets\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-69.png 615w, https:\/\/asset.psaide.com\/blog-assets\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-69-243x300.png 243w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why this works:<\/strong>&nbsp;Red is a color that rarely appears naturally in photos. The AI sees it as a clear instruction: &#8220;Replace exactly this area.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: Write One Prompt <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open Nano Banana. Select Pro version. Set aspect ratio to 1:1 and resolution to 2K.
