The PictureStudio Editor 101

The most frustrating types of images generated by AI are images that are 90% there. For example, you might have prompted a scene of a quiet Brooklyn street, but for some reason, there's a duplicate lamppost somewhere. Or maybe a person's legs don't look quite right. Or there's a strange detail in the sky. Many other image generators try to solve this problem by giving you multiple images, each slightly different, in the blind hope that one of them will be what you asked for. You can do this in PictureStudio just by running the prompt again (without a seed). But a quicker path to the image you had imagined is often to edit away the offending bit of the image. Unlike many other platforms, we offer a proper layer-based editor to get you quickly to your destination.

In this example, I started with a prompt for a swimmer styled as an icon. I ran the prompt a few different times with minor variations in prompts.

Of these I liked the 4th image best, but there was a problem. I didn't want a material design stylized and rounded arm, I wanted to show an extended hand. I could have rerun this prompt trying to emphasize the extended hand, but it's much easier to open up an editor window (select the image, right click and select edit, or select the image, hit the space bar, and select edit).

Then in the editor I select the hand area with the reimagine tool, and prompt with "a swimmer with an extended hand".

This gives me several options to choose from and after 2 tries I got exactly what I was looking for.
