How to fix an AI image without regenerating it: Edit with AI, Crop and Camera angle

You generated a frame you almost like: the faces are right, the light is right, one thing is off. A full regeneration is a gamble that can lose exactly what you liked. Name the failure first, then pick the tool that fixes only that.

• The frame is right, one detail is wrong (a prop, a gesture, a piece of costume): "Edit with AI".
• The angle is right but the frame is too loose: "Crop".
• You like the image but want another viewpoint on it: "Camera angle".
• The shot size is wrong: change "Shot value" and regenerate (compose a shot).
• The staging is wrong (who is where, what they do): rewrite the "Action" and regenerate.
• The face drifts in every shot: that is a sheet problem, fix it in reference sheets.

In the shot composer, click "Edit with AI" next to the panel. On an entity card in the Storyboard tab, use "Edit image for {name}" to repair a reference sheet. Both open the "Edit image" window with three tools: "Edit with AI", "Crop" and "Camera angle".

Every result is "Saved as a new version of this image." The original stays, so trying a fix never destroys the panel you had. In the shot composer, "Previous" and "Next" step between versions.

1. 1Edit. The "Edit with AI" tool: brush strokes plus an "Edit prompt". It exists only here in the studio, not as a canvas node.
2. 2Crop. Crops the image. Aspect options: Free, Source, 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 2.39:1 and Project, then "Reset" or "Apply crop".
3. 3Angle. The "Camera angle" tool: move a camera on a 3D sphere around the subject, set the zoom, and generate the same image from a new viewpoint.
4. 4Brush colors. Red, Green, Blue, Yellow and Magenta. Paint over the zone you want changed; with several zones, use one colour per zone and name the colour in your prompt.
5. 5Brush size. Small, Medium or Large brush: small for a hand or a face detail, large for a whole background area.
6. 6Clear strokes. "Clear strokes" erases everything you painted so you can mark the image again.
7. 7Edit prompt. The "Edit prompt" (placeholder "Describe how to edit this image…"). Say what should change in the painted zone, short and concrete.
8. 8Run. Runs the edit. Its credit cost shows in the tooltip, as on every AI button. "Cancel" closes without running.

1. 1Pick a brush colour, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow or Magenta, whichever stands out best against your image.
2. 2Pick a size: Small, Medium or Large.
3. 3Paint only the area that should change. The tighter the area, the more of your frame survives. "Clear strokes" wipes them if you overshoot.
4. 4In the "Edit prompt" field ("Describe how to edit this image…"), write what should be there, not what is wrong.
5. 5Click "Run" (the tooltip shows the cost), then check the rest of the frame when the result comes back.

Crop keeps part of the image instead of inventing a new one. Drag the frame to move it, pull the corner handle to resize it. The "Aspect" options are Free, Source, 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 2.39:1 and Project. "Reset" starts over, "Apply crop" saves the result.

Instead of rewriting a prompt and hoping for a better angle, you take a panel you like and walk the camera around it, the way a cinematographer walks around the set. The model redraws the same scene from the new viewpoint, so characters, set and light carry over.

1. 1Angle. Switches the window to the camera angle tool. The other tabs are "Edit" (Edit with AI) and "Crop".
2. 2Source image. The image you are re-angling, at the centre of the sphere. Each run is "Saved as a new version of this image.", so the original stays available.
3. 3Camera position. Where the new camera stands. Drag it around the sphere to pick the viewpoint; it snaps to set positions unless you tick "Free angle (disable snap)".
4. 4Tilt up. Moves the camera 30 degrees higher on the sphere, toward a high angle that looks down on the subject. Click again to climb further.
5. 5Tilt down. Moves the camera 30 degrees lower, toward a low angle that looks up at the subject and gives it weight.
6. 6Rotate left. Turns the camera 45 degrees around the subject to the left. Four clicks take you from a front view to a back view.
7. 7Rotate right. Turns the camera 45 degrees around the subject to the right, for a three-quarter view, a profile or a reverse angle.
8. 8Zoom. Sets the framing of the new image, from wide to medium to close. Use + and - or drag the slider: the camera on the sphere moves closer or farther.
9. 9Run. Generates the new angle and saves it as a new version of the image. Like every AI button, its credit cost shows in the tooltip. "Cancel" closes without running.

• "Rotate left" and "Rotate right" orbit the camera around the subject in 45 degree steps.
• "Tilt up" and "Tilt down" move it between heights, from below eye level to looking down.
• "Zoom" sets the distance: wide, medium or close.
• Positions snap so every run lands on a clean viewpoint. "Free angle (disable snap)" allows in-between positions.

Click "Run". The result is saved as a new version of the image.

On the Production canvas, the "Image tools" tile places Crop and Camera angle as nodes, so you can reframe a production image without leaving the canvas. "Edit with AI" exists only in the image editor, not as a node. See the production canvas tour.

Fixing a still costs seconds, fixing a video costs a full generation. When a shot needs a precise first image, repair the still until it is right, then use it as the start frame or the panel for the video. Settle angles on the storyboard, where panels are cheap, and keep production tools for small corrections.
