Why a workflow gave fewer results than images

Say ten photos gave eight results. The other two show No result, which can be intended, or Failed, with a reason. Fix only those two.

1. Open Results and choose Show by image at the top right. To narrow the list, choose No result or Failed under Show, the filter beside it; 1 failed beside the workflow's name opens the failed ones at once.

   

2. Read each photo's reason and fix the cause, as below.

3. Add those photos again. The whole workflow runs on them again; it doesn't resume at the failed step.

The × on a row takes it off the list.

No result

“Its steps found nothing to keep in this image.” doesn't name the step. A condition may have left the photo out, its route may end in Discard, or Cutout found nothing matching its words. To keep photos a condition leaves out, turn on its Add an else route and end it with Save.

Failed

The reason names the step, such as “Cutout took too long.”, or the account, such as “Your storage is full.” Replace a missing file or folder, or make space; a timeout or service failure can be temporary. Nothing retries by itself.

When Cutout makes several results, each continues on its own: one may fail while others complete. “There weren't enough credits for the rest of its steps.” means saved cutouts may lack later steps, such as the resize; check them before use.

Failed photos aren't charged, but steps that worked can use credits without a final result (When something fails).

The result kept part of the background

1. Open the result; Info shows the steps and settings that run used.

2. In its ⋯ menu, choose Change the steps. The Editor opens with the Assistant beside it, the result named in its message box.

3. Say what is wrong, for example:

   The cutout kept part of the beach behind the hat. Keep only the hat.

4. The Assistant can't see the result, so it proposes a change. Ask it to make it, then try that photo again. Or change the step yourself in the Editor view.

The result didn't reach Google Drive

Not saved means the send to Drive failed; the result stays in Results. See If a send fails.

Common mistakes

• Running all ten photos again when one failed. Add only the affected photo, after fixing the cause.
• Adding white while the background is still there. Add background only fills transparent space; remove the background first.
