Studio Canvas Editor

Overview

The Studio canvas is the finishing workspace for generated, uploaded, and imported assets. Use it when a result is close enough to refine, when you need precise layout control, or when you want to combine AI edits with manual design operations.

Chat is best for concept, style, and direction changes. The canvas is best for placement, sizing, crop, structure, layer organization, selected-image edits, and export.
