Editor Presets - Quick Edits

The presets panel on the right provides one-click access to common editing operations:

Camera Controls

These presets change the camera angle and perspective of your image:

  • Close Up: Creates an eye-level profile close-up shot

  • Dutch Tilt: Applies a dynamic angled perspective for dramatic effect

  • Over the Shoulder: Classic over-the-shoulder camera angle

  • Ultrawide Low: Dramatic low-angle wide shot from ground level

  • Top Down: Bird's-eye view from directly above

  • Detail Hand: Close-up focused on hand details

  • Behind: Camera positioned behind the subject

πŸ’‘ Pro Tip: Camera presets work best on images with clear subjects and good composition. They're perfect for creating multiple variations of product shots or character poses.

Visual Controls

  • Style Transfer: Upload a reference image and apply its visual style to your current image. Great for matching art styles, color palettes, or overall aesthetic across multiple images.

Getting Started

1. Open an Image

You can open images in the editor by:

  • Clicking "Edit" on any generated image

  • Selecting from your Media Library

  • Uploading a new image via the dropzone

2. Enter Edit Instructions

Type your editing instruction in the chat input. Be specific about what you want to change.

3. Review and Iterate

The AI will process your edit and show the result. You can continue making adjustments or revert to previous versions using the history panel.

Types of Edits

Color & Tone Adjustments

  • "Make it warmer" / "Make it cooler"

  • "Increase contrast"

  • "Make it more vibrant"

  • "Convert to black and white"

  • "Add a vintage film look"

Object Manipulation

  • "Change [object] to [color]"

  • "Remove [object]"

  • "Add [object] in [location]"

  • "Make [object] larger/smaller"

  • "Move [object] to the left/right"

Style Changes

  • "Apply an oil painting style"

  • "Make it look like a watercolor"

  • "Add a cyberpunk aesthetic"

  • "Make it photorealistic"

Environmental Changes

  • "Change time of day to sunset"

  • "Add rain and fog"

  • "Make the background more blurred"

  • "Change the lighting to dramatic"

Advanced Techniques

Multi-Step Editing

Chain multiple edits together for complex transformations:

1. Start with broad changes (lighting, color)

2. Make structural changes (add/remove objects)

3. Fine-tune details (adjust specific elements)

4. Apply final touches (effects, filters)

Using Reference Images

Upload reference images to guide style transfers or show the AI exactly what you want.

Pro Tip: Use "Replace the style of the main image with the style from Image 1" to apply style transfer.

Iterative Refinement

If an edit isn't perfect, refine it with follow-up instructions:

  • "Make that change more subtle"

  • "Increase the effect by 50%"

  • "Apply only to the foreground"

Session Management

Edit History

The editor maintains a complete history of your edits. You can:

  • View all previous versions

  • Revert to any earlier state

  • Compare before/after results

Saving Your Work

Edited images are automatically saved to your Media Library. Each edit creates a new version while preserving the original.

Tips for Better Results

Be Specific

Instead of "make it better," try "increase contrast and make colors more vibrant"

Reference Locations

Use directional terms: "top left," "foreground," "background," "center"

Describe Target State

Rather than "fix the lighting," say "add dramatic side lighting from the left"

One Change at a Time

For complex edits, break them into smaller steps for better control

Common Use Cases

  • Change product colors instantly

Troubleshooting

Edit Didn't Work as Expected

Solution: Try rephrasing your instruction more specifically. Add reference images if helpful.

Changes are Too Subtle

Solution: Add intensity descriptors like "significantly," "dramatically," or "much more."

Changes are Too Extreme

Solution: Use modifiers like "slightly," "subtly," or "gently" to tone down effects.

Can't Revert Changes

Solution: Use the edit history panel to navigate back to previous versions.
