Tips for Getting Strong Results With the AI Image Editor

Start with the highest‑quality source you have
- Clear, well‑lit images give the AI more reliable structure to work with.
- If your source is low‑resolution or blurry, run it through Unblur Image or the AI Image Upscaler before editing.
Be explicit in your instructions
- Describe what should change and what must stay the same:
  - “Keep the subject’s face and pose. Replace the background with a minimalist office.”
  - “Same composition, but change the lighting to golden hour and apply a cinematic color grade.”
Iterate like a design process, not a one‑shot
- Treat each run as a draft. Save promising versions, then remix only those.
- Over a few iterations, you’ll converge on a visual language you can reuse across campaigns.
Use the template as a reusable “recipe”
- Once you like the style, keep the template and just swap the input images.
- This is especially effective for:
  - Ad sets for multiple SKUs
  - Social series (e.g., weekly posts, episode covers)
  - Multi‑author content where you need a shared visual standard
