Hi there,

I am working with your AI background replacement feature. I noticed that when I use the Studio API, if you include a guidance image, the model does not use that guidance image at all. If I use the other models, then the guidance image is used.

Can you confirm if this is expected behavior or a bug?

Cheers

Chris
