  1. Generate Button:

    • Once you've selected an image and entered a description, click "Generate Variations"
    • The system will generate 4 different variations of your edited image
    • Credit cost: 10 credits per generation

  2. Generation Process:

    • Generation takes approximately 1-2 minutes
    • A loading animation appears in the preview canvas
    • You can wait on the page or navigate away
    • You'll receive an email notification if enabled

  3. Variations Display:

    • Once complete, 4 variations appear as thumbnails below the preview
    • Each variation shows a different interpretation of your edit
    • Variations are numbered (1, 2, 3, 4)

Step 5: Choose Variation

  1. Preview Variations:

    • Click on any variation thumbnail to preview it in the main canvas
    • The preview allows you to compare variations with the original
    • You can switch between variations by clicking different thumbnails

  2. Compare with Original:

    • Switch back to variations to compare
    • Use zoom controls to inspect details

  3. Confirm Selection:

    • The selected variation becomes your new base image
    • You can now make additional edits or use this image elsewhere

  4. Continue Editing:

    • Each confirmed variation becomes the base for the next edit
    • This creates a chain of edits (image history)

    • Previous: Go back to earlier versions

  • Tag Selector: Click on the tag dropdown to select existing tags or create new ones
