# Image Edit and Apps

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Step 1: Upscale your reference image

* Open Sloyd’s **Upscale and Enhance** tool.
* Upload your low-resolution image.
* Upscale/enhance it to a clear HD version.

**Goal:** increase detail and edge definition before generating.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 2: Remove background and noise

* Open an image editor (Sloyd’s built-in editor works).
* Remove the **background** so only the subject remains.
* Export/save the cleaned image (transparent background if possible).

**Goal:** a clean, isolated subject with minimal visual clutter.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 3: Generate again with Image to 3D

* Open **Image to 3D**.
* Upload the cleaned, high-resolution image.
* Generate the model.

**What you should see:** cleaner geometry, better textures, and a result that matches the photo more closely.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
