Preview – Quickly view what the final image will look like before generating.
Choose Another – Go back and swap out either the before or after photo.

When you’re ready, hit “Generate” and choose between a Top-Down View or Side-by-Side View.
Your generated image will appear, and you’ll have the option to either Edit (which lets you adjust the final combined image) or Save it to your gallery.
