edit-image

On the rail as edit-image.

When to use it

Mark a picture: pin comments on spots, draw where something new goes, erase what should leave; one run makes every change. Creative makes each change boldly and lets the picture adapt; Precise changes only inside the marks.

When to reach for something else

For a new picture from words, a new look for the whole picture or a relit scene, another tool fits better. Creative lightly redraws the rest of the picture; when every other pixel must stay as it was, use Precise.

How to use it

1. Use the card’s Image area. The picture to change. Leave comments on spots, draw where something new goes, and erase what should leave.
2. Pick a mode on the card: Creative, Precise.
3. Pick a model in the pill at the top of the card, or keep Krea 3.
4. Press Run.

On the card

Control	What it does	Choices
Image	The picture to change. Leave comments on spots, draw where something new goes, and erase what should leave.
Run	Starts the run. The number on it is what this run costs in credits, worked out before you press.
×1	Runs the card several times in a row with the same settings.	1 to 99

Modes

Creative

One fast run makes every marked change boldly and lets the picture around it adapt, so the whole stays coherent.

Models in this mode: Krea 3, Ideogram 4.5.

Precise

Changes only inside your marks and puts every other pixel of the picture back as it was. Slower.

Models in this mode: FLUX 3.

Models

The pill at the top of the card picks the model. Krea 3 is the one a new card starts on.

Model	Good for
Krea 3	An edit where the picture around the change may adapt to it, or a change to the whole picture (the light, the look): Edit mode’s Creative route. About 9 s at 2K.
Ideogram 4.5	Inpaint’s Tag mode: one change per tag, typed where it goes, and everything the words do not name comes back as it was. Also rewrites the text in a picture into another language in the same type, and takes up to four reference pictures.
FLUX 3	Several targeted edits to one picture in one run, each in its own box: replace one thing, remove another, put a reference picture into an area, and everything else stays as it was. Also edits from words with up to nine references.

Krea 3

Not the one for: With regional edit on it makes one change a run, so two changes in one run need it off. It redraws the rest lightly; a change that must leave everything else exactly as it was goes to FLUX 3 with the restore.

Behind the settings button:

Setting	What it does	Choices
Seed	The starting dice roll. The same seed and settings give the same result every time; change it for a fresh variation, or leave it at -1 for a new random one.	A number

Ideogram 4.5

Not the one for: Not a restyle of the whole picture and not a new composition: it keeps the framing. The High tier is the expensive one, and an area can take at most three references.

Behind the settings button:

Setting	What it does	Choices
Quality	How hard the model works on the edit. The size of the picture never changes the price.	Draft, Low, Medium, High
Full size	Each tagged area is cut out, edited at its own size and put back, so a big photo stays big.	On or off

FLUX 3

Not the one for: A move is the unreliable edit: it runs on its own and sometimes redraws the picture around it. No seed. Not a restyle of the whole picture.

Behind the settings button:

Setting	What it does	Choices
Seed	The starting dice roll. The same seed and settings give the same result every time; change it for a fresh variation, or leave it at -1 for a new random one.	A number
