Does image edit with masking actually work?

Imagen is superior with mask edits, but there’s a lot of vagary in the various image APIs out there. It’d be helpful if OpenAI could better explain the limitations/expectations of the various common use cases (VTON, style transfer, color-up, character swap, background modification, feature editing, etc). Their mask example works fine but the setup of the shot lends itself to easy to fill in details for consistency.
