Studio Image Editing Workflows

Overview

The best Studio Image Editing workflow depends on what the user is trying to ship. Use the recipes below as starting points, then adapt the prompt, model, ratio, and finishing steps to the asset.

Product Photo Cleanup

Use this when a product image needs a cleaner, more commercial presentation.

  1. Upload the product photo or open it from Library.
  2. Select the image and run Remove Background.
  3. Use Set Background with a white, neutral, brand-colored, texture, or AI-generated background.
  4. Use Eraser for small distractions that remain near the product.
  5. Use Adjust Colors for brightness, contrast, saturation, and opacity finishing.
  6. Use Upscale for the final selected version.

Prompt pattern:

text
Replace the background with a clean white studio sweep. Keep the product unchanged, preserve the logo, color, material, camera angle, and natural shadow. Do not add props or change the packaging.

Social And Ad Creative Variations

Use this when the team already has a good image but needs more campaign directions.

  1. Select the strongest source image.
  2. Use Generate Variations for controlled alternatives.
  3. Use Remix when the image should keep the same subject but move toward a new visual style.
  4. Use Expand to create channel ratios such as square, vertical, wide, social, or marketplace formats.
  5. Move the best option into the canvas layout and add final text or brand elements.

Prompt pattern:

text
Create a premium social ad version of this image. Keep the main subject and composition recognizable. Make the lighting cleaner, the contrast stronger, and leave clear space for a short headline.

AI Image Correction

Use this when an AI-generated image is close but has one visible problem.

  1. Keep the original result on the canvas.
  2. If the problem is localized, use Visual Annotation Edit or Eraser.
  3. If the problem is conceptual, use Chat Edit.
  4. If the problem is text, use Edit Design Text.
  5. Compare the new version beside the source before replacing it in a layout.

Prompt pattern:

text
Fix only the highlighted area. Preserve the rest of the image exactly: same layout, crop, colors, subject, lighting, and style.

Text In Image Editing

Use this for posters, thumbnails, banners, covers, UI mockups, and generated graphics where the text needs correction.

  1. Select the image.
  2. Open Edit Design Text.
  3. Wait for Studio to detect text blocks.
  4. Rewrite only the blocks that should change, or leave a field blank to remove that text block.
  5. Generate the edited version and inspect spelling, spacing, font matching, and alignment.

When the text is very small, compressed, rotated, or heavily stylized, first use Upscale or provide a higher-quality source image.

Editable Layer Reconstruction

Use this when a flat image needs to become an editable design artifact.

  1. Select the source image.
  2. Use Make Editable if you want to crop the source area or mark image regions before conversion.
  3. Use Magic Layers / Edit Element when you want a quick structured extraction.
  4. Inspect the generated frame and rename or regroup important elements.
  5. Continue manual edits with the canvas tools.
  6. Export as image, PDF, PPT, PSD, SVG, or Figma-ready content depending on the handoff.

This workflow is best for screenshots, generated UI references, landing page sections, posters, image cards, and static creative files that need design-level editing.

Marketplace And Channel Resizing

Use this when one image needs many delivery sizes.

  1. Finish the source image first.
  2. Use Expand instead of simple crop when the new ratio needs more scene around the subject.
  3. Choose a social or marketplace preset when the target platform matters.
  4. Use Crop for final framing and Upscale for high-resolution export.
  5. Export only the approved versions.

For product listings, keep the product shape, color, logo, and proportions unchanged. Use prompt constraints whenever AI reframing is involved.
