How does AI chat editing work?

Overview

AI chat editing transforms how you refine generated images by enabling natural language modification requests. Instead of manually adjusting settings or regenerating entire images, simply describe desired changes in plain language (Korean or English), and GRYYD's AI automatically applies targeted edits in real-time—preserving successful elements while refining specific aspects.

How AI Chat Editing Works

Workflow Integration: After generating image variations in the Setup stage and selecting favorites in the Selection stage, chosen images advance to the Editing (Chatting) stage. Here, each selected image opens an individual chat interface where you converse with AI to iteratively refine the image until it perfectly matches your vision.

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Select Image: In Selection stage, mark desired variations as favorites (click heart icon)
2. Enter Editing Stage: Click "Continue to Editing" to access chat interface
3. Submit Edit Request: Type modification instructions in chat input (e.g., "Brighten the background")
4. AI Processing: AI interprets request, applies changes, generates updated image (15-30 seconds)
5. Review Result: Updated image replaces previous version in chat thread
6. Iterate or Approve: Submit additional edits or proceed to Download stage

Technical Capabilities: GRYYD's AI editing model understands:

• Spatial modifications: "Move product to left third of frame"
• Lighting adjustments: "Add warm golden hour lighting"
• Background changes: "Replace background with mountain landscape"
• Color grading: "Increase saturation by 20%"
• Style shifts: "Make more minimalist" or "Add vintage film grain"
• Object additions: "Add Christmas decorations in background"
• Removal requests: "Remove shadow under product"

Common Edit Request Examples

Background Modifications:

• "Change background to pure white studio" → E-commerce clean background
• "Add soft bokeh blur to background" → Professional depth-of-field effect
• "Replace background with cozy café interior" → Lifestyle contextual setting
• "Make background darker to emphasize product" → Contrast adjustment

Lighting & Color Adjustments:

• "Brighten overall image by 15%" → Exposure correction
• "Add warm orange tones for sunset feel" → Color grading
• "Increase contrast to make product pop" → Visual impact enhancement
• "Soften shadows for more flattering look" → Light quality adjustment

Composition Changes:

• "Move product slightly to the right" → Recomposition
• "Zoom in closer on product details" → Framing adjustment
• "Add more negative space on left for text placement" → Layout optimization
• "Center product perfectly in frame" → Alignment correction

Style & Mood Refinements:

• "Make image feel more luxurious" → High-end aesthetic
• "Add playful, energetic vibe" → Brand personality alignment
• "Create minimalist Scandinavian aesthetic" → Style transformation
• "Apply vintage 70s film look" → Nostalgic treatment

Plan-Based Limitations

10-Edit Limit Rationale: Most users achieve desired results within 3-5 edits. The 10-edit cap encourages iterative refinement while preventing inefficient workflows. If you reach the limit, download the current version and use it as a reference image in a new draft for further modifications.

Edit History & Version Control

Automatic Version Tracking: Every AI edit creates a new version saved in the editing timeline. You can review the complete evolution of an image from initial generation through all refinements.

Version History Features:

• Chronological Timeline: Visual display of all versions in chat thread
• Timestamp & Description: Each version labeled with edit request and time
• Side-by-Side Comparison: Hover over versions to compare before/after
• One-Click Revert: Click any previous version to restore it as the current version
• Edit Count Display: Shows "Edit 3 of 10" to track remaining modifications

Revert Functionality: If an edit doesn't produce desired results, simply click a previous version in the timeline. That version becomes the active image, and you can continue editing from that point—the revert itself doesn't consume an edit credit (only forward-moving edits count toward the 10-edit limit).

Example Timeline: ``` Original Generation (Variation 3 from Setup stage) ↓ Edit 1: "Brighten background" (12:34 PM) ↓ Edit 2: "Move product left" (12:36 PM) ↓ Edit 3: "Add warm lighting" (12:38 PM) ← Current version ```

Click "Edit 1" to revert to brightened background version and try different composition changes.

Credit Consumption

AI Editing Credits: Each edit request consumes credits from your plan's monthly allocation. Exact cost varies by complexity:

• Simple edits: 1-2 credits (brightness, color adjustments)
• Moderate edits: 2-4 credits (composition changes, lighting modifications)
• Complex edits: 4-6 credits (background replacements, style transformations)

Cost-Efficient Editing Tips:

1. Be Specific: "Increase brightness 20%" is more efficient than "Make it brighter?" which may require follow-up adjustments
2. Batch Requests: Instead of "Move left" then "Move more left," request "Move product to left third of frame" upfront
3. Reference Successful Edits: If an edit worked well, use similar phrasing for other images
4. Use Regeneration for Major Changes: If edits require 5+ modifications, consider regenerating with updated prompt instead

Pro Tip: Before editing, review all selected images and prioritize the strongest candidates. Editing 2 nearly-perfect images to perfection is more efficient than editing 5 mediocre ones. This focuses credits on high-value refinements.
