# Choosing Modes

After uploading your photo, you can choose from the following modes based on your needs:

### **1. Use Original Photo**

* Select this option to use your original photo as a base. With **Use Original Photo**, you can modify the **model, styling, and background** directly from your original image.
* We recommend this option if you have a photo where all parts of the model you want to appear are fully visible.

### **2. Magic Expand**

* This feature fills in extra space when your desired output size is larger than the original photo.
* **Magic Expand** uses AI to extend the background, adjust the model's pose, and complete partial images. For example, it can transform half-body shots into full portraits or expand a close-up into a full-body image.

After choosing the mode, to proceed, click the **"Generate Modify,"** or **"Next Step"** button, depending on your choice.
