Workspace Map

• Top Header: editor navigation, queue/tasks indicators, credits balance, panel toggle, close, and active-task cancellation while generation is running.
• Left Sidebar (resizable): references panel plus operation panels for prompting, generation, and image editing tools.
• Center Canvas: preview/edit surface for the current image, including crop and board/canvas workflows.
• Bottom Gallery (collapsible + resizable): generated history for quick compare, reuse, and send-forward workflows.

Panel-by-Panel Reference

Reference Images Panel

Stores guidance images for consistency. Add references by drag-drop (from gallery), or through Asset Browser. You can remove and reorder references, and the set is reused by generation/edit panels.

Prompt Panel

Main positive prompt plus negative prompt controls. Use this as your base intent layer before choosing a generation/edit modality.

Text to Image Panel

Pure generation mode from text. Choose model and advanced schema options, then generate new stills into gallery.

Image to Image Panel

Variation/edit mode using a source image (canvas image) plus prompt guidance. Best for preserving composition while changing style/content details.

Elements to Image Panel

Reference-guided generation focused on maintaining recurring design elements. Uses dedicated elements-to-image model routing where available.

Inpainting Panel

Localized edits using mask tools. Supports paint/lasso mask workflows, prompt-driven replacement, and mask visualization modes.

Outpainting Panel

Expands image boundaries beyond original frame. Includes preview behavior and outpaint model selection.

Background Removal Panel

Runs mask/background removal models on the active canvas image. Useful for isolating subjects for downstream comp workflows.

Face Tools Panel

Two major tool classes: face refine and face replace. Lets you target identity/face corrections on existing images with model-specific options.

Crop Panel

Aspect ratio selection, crop box creation, apply/reset, and selection clear controls. Use before generation if you want cleaner framing constraints.

Collage (Image Board) Panel

Builds a composed board from multiple references. Includes background color, placed-image list, output scale, computed dimensions, create-board action, and clear-board.

Annotations Panel

Markup and draw-over workflow for instruction-driven edits. Supports annotation selection/edit/delete and rendering annotated output.

Metadata Panel

Shows and edits metadata context: dimensions, tags, notes, file info, and manual refresh of media metadata.

Panel Reorder Control

Sidebar panels can be reordered in reorder mode. Use this to prioritize your everyday sequence (for example Prompt -> Image to Image -> Inpaint).

Canvas and Gallery Behavior

• Canvas updates to the selected or newly generated image.
• Gallery can be expanded/collapsed and resized vertically; thumbnail size adapts to panel height.
• Use gallery to set an image as primary canvas input.
• Use load-more to fetch older generated items and clear-cache when you need a clean gallery state.
• When available in your current flow, selected images can be sent directly into Video Generator.

Step-by-Step Workflow

1. Open Image Generator from the active project.
2. Add 0+ reference images (drag-drop or Asset Browser) if you need style/character continuity.
3. Set prompt and model settings in the left operation panels.
4. Choose a mode: pure generation (text), guided variation (image), or targeted edits (inpaint/outpaint/crop/etc.).
5. Run generation and monitor queue/task indicators in the header.
6. Review outputs in the bottom gallery, then set your chosen image as the active canvas image.
7. Iterate with one controlled change at a time (prompt term, reference set, seed/options, or operation mode).
8. Promote approved images to downstream storyboard/video pipelines.

Power Usage Tips

• Keep a small, curated reference set per scene tone instead of one huge mixed set.
• Use panel reordering so your main workflow (for example prompt + inpaint + references) stays at the top.
• Treat gallery as a version timeline: pick winners quickly, then branch from those winners.

Controls and Functions

Control	Function	Result
Operation rail	Switches between text-to-image, edit, inpaint, outpaint, board, background removal, upscale, metadata, and related image operations.	The active panel determines required inputs and output type.
Prompt fields	Define the positive and negative visual instruction.	Included in generation metadata for later restore.
Model picker	Selects the image model and exposes model-specific controls.	Changes available sizes, references, and advanced options.
Reference image panel	Attach, order, and remove manual or schema references.	References guide edits, consistency, and multimodal models.
Canvas tools	Preview source image, masks, crop, world/pano views, and selected output.	Use to verify the actual active image before submitting.
Mask tools	Paint, erase, preview, and refine inpainting masks.	Only masked regions are targeted by inpainting operations.
Advanced settings	Set image size, seed, steps, guidance, strength, format, and model-specific schema values.	Submitted with the request and stored on output assets.
Generate/apply action	Dispatches the selected operation.	A task is created and completed outputs appear in gallery/tasks.
Gallery	Shows generated outputs, prior takes, and result actions.	Select winners, restore settings, or send assets downstream.
Metadata panel	Displays filename, prompt, dimensions, model, seed, and provenance.	Use it to audit or reproduce a result.
