Replace Background editing instruction

Basic Fixes

Replace the background of the uploaded image with [describe the new background, e.g. "a bright modern studio" or "a city street at dusk"], while keeping the main subject completely unchanged. Preserve the subject's pose, proportions, lighting direction on the body, edges, and hair detail, and add believable contact shadows and color reflection that match the new scene. Do not alter the subject's face, body, or clothing, and avoid mismatched lighting or a pasted-on look.

Replace the text in [brackets] with your own details before running the edit.
