What Photo studio does
Photo studio is the workspace's shared Saved photos gallery and image-editing entry point. Start from an upload, stock photo or campaign photo. To generate a new image from post text, use the separate Add media window in campaign composition.
Viewers can view and download saved photos, but do not get editing controls. Saving an image does not publish a post.
Open and edit a photo
- Open Photo studio.
- Choose Upload a photo, Find a stock photo or From your campaigns. Upload accepts JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF and AVIF; AVIF is converted for editing.
- Choose the photo to open Edit image. A saved photo can be reopened through Edit.
- Choose the tool needed for your change:
| Tool | Use |
|---|---|
| Adjust / Filters | Change appearance and filter intensity. |
| Crop & rotate | Set an aspect ratio, crop, straighten, rotate or flip. |
| Text | Add wording and choose font, colour, alignment and text direction. |
| Draw / Shapes | Add marks, shapes or arrows. The eraser removes drawing strokes, not the original photo. |
| Logo & images | Add an image, workspace logo or profile photo when available. |
| Layers | Select, move, hide, lock, duplicate or reorder added elements. |
| AI | Request a change or remove a background with the available options. |
- Use Undo, Redo and Hold to compare to review changes.
- Choose Save. Wait for gallery saving and Photo saved before treating the gallery entry as complete. Use Edit again, Download, Use in a new campaign or Done.
The editor may resize the saved image to fit the device and upload limit. If original design images are missing, it can open the saved flattened image with a notice rather than restoring every editable layer.
Edit with AI and compare the result
- Open AI and fill Describe your change, for example a lighting or background change. The prompt allows up to 1,000 characters.
- Choose Apply and wait for the result. AI editing uses the daily AI-image allowance shown in the editor.
- Compare Before and After.
- Choose Use this image to accept or Try again to request another result. Generating a preview is not the same as accepting it.
- Read any flattening confirmation before continuing: text, stickers, adjustments and cropping can become part of the new photo. AI background removal on the whole photo can clear existing layers/cropping/adjustments. Undo remains available.
- Choose Save when the final composition is ready.
Background-removal quality options
- Remove background (free, on this device) runs locally and may first ask to download its model.
- Higher quality (uses 1 AI image) uses one image from the daily AI allowance.
Check whether the action applies to the selected image or the whole photo. Unlock a locked image in Layers before editing it. These are background-removal choices, not a universal quality selector for every image-generation action.
Use photos in posts
From Saved photos, Use in campaign starts a new campaign with that image. After saving, Use in a new campaign provides the same handoff. Review the draft and its destinations in campaign creation; handing off an image does not send the post.
When editing a photo selected through From your campaigns, a prompt can offer Replace in campaign or Keep the original. Replacement updates eligible unsent posts; already-sent posts keep the original and are not sent again. Read the replacement report and Open the campaign for items needing review or that changed meanwhile.
Deleting a saved photo removes it from the shared gallery; photos already used in campaigns stay there.
If something goes wrong
| Symptom | Recovery |
|---|---|
| Gallery or preview unavailable | Use Try again or refresh the gallery. |
| Could not save the image | Keep the editor open; edits remain there. Retry before leaving. |
| Edit saved but not added to gallery | Use Save to gallery. The result can still be downloaded; do not mistake this for a completed gallery save. |
| Daily AI image allowance used up | Try again tomorrow; ordinary editing remains a separate workflow. |
| AI edit failed | Current edits are unchanged. Adjust the request and retry. |
| Campaign draft is full | Remove a media file from the draft, then retry the Photo studio handoff. |
| Replacement partly failed | Read the report and open the campaign. Retrying does not resend posts already updated. |
