Nano Banana 2 Prompts to Reduce Scratches in Leather Product Photos
Clean up minor cosmetic marks in authorized leather product photography while preserving the real grain, seams, color, hardware, and sale condition.
Quick answer
Use a sharp authorized source and ask for one local surface correction. Lock the leather type, grain direction, patina, stitch holes, edge paint, hardware, silhouette, shadow, and crop before naming the scuff. Do not remove wear when the exact used item is being sold; the edited photograph must still truthfully represent the buyer’s item.

Prompt template
Use the uploaded authorized leather product photo as the exact source. Preserve product shape, leather type, natural grain, pores, creases, patina, stitch count and spacing, edge paint, hardware, label, color, light, shadow, camera and crop. Reduce only the small superficial scuff at [location]. Continue the surrounding grain naturally. Do not smooth all leather, change condition, reshape seams, alter hardware, create text, logo, watermark, or edit another area.
Step-by-step workflow
- Confirm the SKU and whether cosmetic cleanup still represents the inventory actually offered.
- Mark the scuff and nearby grain, stitch, edge, hardware, and highlight anchors before generating.
- Run one localized repair prompt; do not pair it with recoloring, relighting, or background cleanup.
- Compare source and output at full size for grain repetition, seams, edge paint, and reflective hardware drift.
- Restore exact labels and legal detail from verified artwork if any text became soft.
- Save source, prompt, approved master, condition decision, and delivery crops together.
Example prompt variants
- Reduce only the narrow pale scuff on the lower-right panel of this black pebble-leather tote; preserve grain, stitched edge, handle, brass hardware, shadow, and camera.
- Repair only the light surface rub beside the zipper on this tan leather wallet; retain pores, patina, stitching, zipper teeth, embossing, and natural unevenness.
- Correct only one small scuff on a smooth leather shoe toe; preserve the true toe shape, finish, sole seam, lace, contact shadow, and all other wear.
Quality checklist
- Condition and product variant still match what customers receive.
- Grain, pores, patina, stitch spacing, edge paint, and hardware remain continuous.
- The edit is local; no seams, labels, silhouette, or shadows changed unexpectedly.
- Any wording, logo, warning, or size mark comes from approved source artwork.
- Source, prompt, review, condition decision, and exports remain traceable.
Mistakes to avoid
- Asking to make leather perfect and erasing its natural texture or honest condition.
- Hiding meaningful wear on a used, vintage, collectible, or one-of-one product.
- Accepting repeated grain stamps, floating stitches, or altered hardware at thumbnail size.
- Letting generated pixels rewrite brand marks, size information, or care labels.
