The recipe returns a material\-updated garment image while preserving the original garment’s design, shape, and details outside the selected area\. ### Who is this recipe for? It is suited to fashion and streetwear designers, apparel concept teams, illustrators, and merch creators exploring garment material directions\. It is most useful when you already have a garment image and a separate image showing the material you want to apply\. ### What inputs should I prepare? Prepare a Garment Image, a Material Image, and an Application Area\. The saved example uses “the full suit” as its application area, but you can enter a different area for another garment\-focused edit\. ### Can I change which garment area is updated? Yes\. Application Area is an exposed text input that you can change in Fuser, such as specifying the full suit or another particular garment area\. The selected area determines where the material replacement is directed\. ### What does the saved example show? The saved example connects a garment image and material image with the text instruction “the full suit\.” Its saved output is a Material\-Updated Garment image, showing the intended input\-to\-output workflow rather than a live generation\. ### Can I try different materials on the same garment?

This supports visual comparison of different material choices for one garment\. ### What kinds of work is this recipe appropriate for? It is appropriate for garment concept development, fashion and streetwear studies, apparel merchandise exploration, and material\-focused illustration variations\. The recipe is centered on changing a garment’s material, not redesigning unrelated parts of an image\. ## Explore Your Garment Material Direction Bring a garment image, a material image, and a defined application area to Fuser to create a material\-updated garment image\.
