Hero images\u2014the main photos that represent your product\u2014need to be perfect. But what happens when you need to change the vase in your image?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional manual replacement requires:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Precise masking around the original vase<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Matching the perspective and angle of the new vase<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Recreating realistic shadows that fall naturally on the table<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjusting lighting to ensure the new vase looks like it was photographed in the same scene<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blending edges so the replacement is undetectable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This process can take 30-45 minutes for an experienced retoucher. For product photographers and e-commerce teams, this creates a significant bottleneck when updating catalogs or testing different product options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The creative product editing process involves complex compositing that requires both technical skill and artistic vision&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/retouchinglabs.com\/creative-product-photo-editing\/#toc-4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a>. Manual object replacement is especially challenging because products often have unique shapes, reflective surfaces, and require perfect shadow integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nano Banana Pro automates this entire process through AI-powered scene understanding. It analyzes the original image&#8217;s lighting, perspective, and shadows, then seamlessly integrates the new vase while preserving the scene&#8217;s natural look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-the-solution-nano-banana-pro-in-3-steps\">2\u3001The Solution: Nano Banana Pro in 3 Steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>PsAide is a Photoshop AI plugin designed to integrate powerful AI capabilities directly into your Photoshop workflow&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.producthunt.com\/products\/psaide?launch=psaide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a>. Nano Banana Pro, built on advanced image models, delivers professional-grade editing with strong scene understanding and consistency .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s how to replace a vase in your hero image:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What You Need<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Adobe Photoshop with PsAide plugin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your hero image with the original vase<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your new vase product photo<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>60 seconds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"606\" height=\"634\" src=\"https:\/\/asset.psaide.com\/blog-assets\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image.png\" alt=\"What You Need\" class=\"wp-image-6367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asset.psaide.com\/blog-assets\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image.png 606w, https:\/\/asset.psaide.com\/blog-assets\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-287x300.png 287w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 606px) 100vw, 606px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 1: Mark the Original Vase in Red<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open your hero image in Photoshop. Use the Lasso Tool to draw a selection around the vase you want to replace. Include the entire vase\u2014body, neck, and any visible rim or handles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry about perfect edges. Just cover the main shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fill the selection with bright red (RGB: 255, 0, 0). This red marker tells the AI exactly what to replace, preserving everything else in the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 2: Configure and Write Your Prompt<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open the PsAide panel. Launch&nbsp;<strong>Nano Banana<\/strong>&nbsp;and select the&nbsp;<strong>Pro version<\/strong>. Set output resolution to&nbsp;<strong>2K<\/strong>\u2014this provides excellent detail for product images while maintaining fast processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upload your two images in the correct order:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Image 1:<\/strong>&nbsp;Your hero image with the red-marked vase<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Image 2:<\/strong>&nbsp;Your new vase product photo<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Type this comprehensive prompt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>&#8220;Remove the vase and flowers from image 1, and replace the vase in Image 1 with the vase in Image 2, with natural lighting and shadow blending.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Click&nbsp;<strong>Generate<\/strong>.

It identifies the red-marked area and removes the original vase. It analyzes the scene&#8217;s lighting direction and table surface. It places the new vase at the correct perspective. It generates realistic shadows that match the original lighting. It blends all edges seamlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"630\" height=\"730\" src=\"https:\/\/asset.psaide.com\/blog-assets\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-2.png\" alt=\"Get Your Professional Result\" class=\"wp-image-6369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asset.psaide.com\/blog-assets\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-2.png 630w, https:\/\/asset.psaide.com\/blog-assets\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-2-259x300.png 259w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Your hero image now shows the new vase. Same scene. Same lighting. Same composition. Different product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-pro-tips-for-perfect-vase-replacement\">3\u3001Pro Tips for Perfect Vase Replacement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Mark the entire vase.<\/strong>&nbsp;Include the body, neck, and any handles. The AI needs to see the complete object to replace it correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Use 2K resolution for product images.<\/strong>&nbsp;2K preserves fine details like table textures, flowers, and vase reflections while keeping file sizes manageable. 4K is useful for large prints but takes longer to process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Match the general style.<\/strong>&nbsp;A tall vase swaps better with another tall vase. The AI handles different shapes, but similar silhouettes yield faster, cleaner results. If you need a dramatic style change, add &#8220;fully replace the style&#8221; to your prompt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Trust the shadow generation.<\/strong>&nbsp;One of the most difficult aspects of manual replacement is recreating shadows. The AI analyzes your scene&#8217;s existing shadows and generates new ones automatically .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. For floral arrangements:<\/strong>&nbsp;If your scene includes flowers, add &#8220;including the flowers&#8221; to your prompt. The AI can replace the vase while preserving or adjusting the floral arrangement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. Keep your original layers.<\/strong>&nbsp;Save the PSD with your red marking. You can reuse the same scene photo to swap multiple vase styles in seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7. Batch similar products.<\/strong>&nbsp;Once you have a prompt that works, apply the same logic to your entire product catalog. Nano Banana Pro processes each image consistently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8. Check the shadow direction.<\/strong>&nbsp;After generation, ensure the new vase&#8217;s shadow matches the original scene&#8217;s lighting. The AI generally handles this well, but if needed, regenerate with &#8220;match shadow angle&#8221; added to your prompt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"when-to-use-this\">4\u3001<strong>Download link<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"378\" src=\"https:\/\/asset.psaide.com\/blog-assets\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-45.png\" alt=\"Download link\" class=\"wp-image-5290\" style=\"width:620px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asset.psaide.com\/blog-assets\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-45.png 768w, https:\/\/asset.psaide.com\/blog-assets\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-45-300x148.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-698a3c9aec2f7bd4f16b8b17a162efb7\" style=\"color:#3200fb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/psaide.com\/?sfrom=A86R4u\">https:\/\/psaide.com\/?sfrom=A86R4u<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Invitation Code:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/psaide.com\/?sfrom=A86R4u\">A86R4u<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark the old vase in red.
