What if you could edit images the same way you'd brief a colleague? "Can you make the wood a bit warmer?" "Remove that reflection on the left." "This needs a plant in the corner." Chat to Edit brings this natural interaction to image editing—describe what you want in plain language, and AI handles the execution.

What It Does

Chat to Edit provides a conversational interface for image editing. Rather than learning tools, selecting modes, or configuring parameters, you simply describe your intent. The AI interprets your request, understands the context of your image, and generates the appropriate edits.

This is AI collaboration at its most intuitive. The system remembers your conversation history, understands follow-up requests in context, and refines results based on your feedback.

When to Use It

Quick Iterations

When you need fast exploration without switching tools:

• "Try a different fabric color"
• "Now remove that shadow"
• "Actually, make it brighter overall"

Each request builds on the previous, creating a fluid editing workflow.

Complex Requests

When your edit involves multiple considerations:

• "Stage this sofa in a Scandinavian living room with morning light coming through large windows"
• "Make this look like it's in a boutique hotel lobby with marble floors and brass accents"

The AI decomposes complex requests into appropriate operations.

Learning the Platform

If you're new to AI image editing, Chat to Edit serves as an approachable entry point. Describe what you want; let the AI guide you toward the right approach.

Collaborative Review

When working with team members who may not know the tools:

• A designer describes what they envision
• The AI executes the technical implementation
• Results are reviewed and refined through continued conversation

How to Use It

Starting a Session

Navigate to Chat to Edit. The interface opens a conversation workspace where you can:

1. Upload an image to begin editing
2. Type your request in natural language
3. Review the result and continue the conversation

Effective Communication

Write naturally, as you would to a skilled colleague:

Direct requests work well:

• "Remove the background and make it white"
• "Change the upholstery to a navy velvet"
• "Add a small side table next to the sofa"

Context helps:

• "This is for our luxury catalog—make the lighting more dramatic"
• "The client wants a casual, lived-in feel"
• "This needs to match our brand's warm color palette"

Follow-ups refine:

• "That's close, but can you make the wood a bit lighter?"
• "Good, but the plant looks too large—scale it down"
• "Perfect, now let's try a different angle"

Assist Mode

Enable Assist mode to have the AI enhance your prompts before processing. Your casual request becomes a detailed, optimized instruction. Particularly valuable when you have a rough idea but want professional results.

Image Uploads

You can upload images at any point in the conversation:

• Start with your product image
• Add reference images ("Make it look like this style")
• Upload fabric swatches ("Use this material")

The AI incorporates uploaded images into its understanding of your request.

Tips for Best Results

Be Specific About Outcomes

Vague: "Make it better" Specific: "Increase contrast slightly and make the wood tones warmer"

Vague: "Fix the background" Specific: "Remove the distracting objects and replace with a clean white background"

Provide Context

Help the AI understand the bigger picture:

• "This is for a product page on our e-commerce site"
• "We're targeting a mid-century modern aesthetic"
• "The buyer demographic is 35-50 year old homeowners"

Context shapes the AI's creative decisions.

Iterate Conversationally

The chat interface excels at refinement:

1. Make an initial request
2. Review the result
3. Provide feedback: "Good, but..."
4. The AI adjusts based on your guidance
5. Continue until satisfied

This is often faster than trying to specify everything perfectly upfront.

Reference When Possible

Words can be ambiguous. Images are precise:

• "Use this exact fabric" + swatch upload
• "Match this room's style" + inspiration photo
• "This is the color I want" + reference image

Save Good Results

When you achieve a result you like, download it or send it to your Image History. Chat sessions may not persist indefinitely, but saved images remain in your library.

Practical Applications

Case: Quick Product Variants

You: "Here's our bestselling sofa. Can you show me this in forest green velvet?"

AI: Generates fabric swap

You: "Nice. What about in a gray boucle?"

AI: Generates new variant

You: "That's great. Now stage the green one in a moody library setting."

AI: Generates styled scene

Multiple variants and styles explored through natural conversation.

Case: Collaborative Review

Your creative director reviews shots with you:

Director: "The lighting feels too flat."

You type: "Make the lighting more dramatic with stronger shadows"

Director: "Better. Can we see it on a darker background?"

You type: "Change the background to a deep charcoal"

The conversation becomes the edit session—no tool-switching interruptions.

Case: Complex Scene Building

You: "I need this dining set photographed in an elegant dining room. High ceilings, natural light from the left, maybe some flowers on the table."

AI: Generates comprehensive scene

You: "The flowers are too formal. Can you make them more casual—like from a garden?"

AI: Adjusts floral arrangement

Complex creative direction delivered through simple language.

Case: Learning by Doing

New team member: "I want to remove this power cord, but I've never used these tools."

Colleague: "Just type what you want in Chat to Edit."

New team member types: "Remove the power cord from this image"

AI: Removes cord, fills background

Zero learning curve—immediate capability.

Current Status
