Q: What should I review before clicking Generate?

Review mode, prompt, negative prompt, prompt focus, creative direction, camera, lighting, palette, detail, variants, seed, frame format, and credit state in the preflight review.

Start Here

Access Header, Account State, Paid Credits, and Site Links

The pro studio starts with a compact access header that keeps account state, paid credit balance, purchase access, member sign-in, site navigation, and current run cost visible while the workspace stays open.

Access

The access header keeps Guest/member state, paid credits, Site Links, Buy Credits, Member Sign In, and current cost in view above the stage.

Guest Or Member State

Guest browser tells unsigned-in users to sign in to restore paid credits.
Session shows Guest until member access is active.
Member Sign In opens the account path without leaving the studio.

Paid Credits

Paid Credits shows the stored paid balance. The run header also repeats Cost so the user can see whether a generation or edit will spend credits.

Buy Credits

Buy Credits is the visible purchase path from inside the studio. It opens the Pro credit checkout where 1 to 50 credits can be purchased, then returns the user to the studio so the paid balance can refresh.

Site Links

Site Links keeps Home, AI Image Generator, AI Photo Studio, Video Editing Workstation, Prompt Examples, AI Gen Guide, Blog, Account, and Support reachable from the same header.

Modes And Layouts

Studio Modes, Panel Right, and Panel Bottom

Mode changes the prompt helper, starter chips, default creative controls, frame defaults, preflight message, and active panel. The layout toggle controls whether setup sits beside or beneath the stage.

Layouts

Panel Bottom is best when prompt, negative prompt, focus, direction, output settings, and run buttons need full-width space.

Panel Right is best for side-by-side review: stage on the left, selected options and actions on the right.

Prompt Controls

Preflight Review, Prompt Focus, Creative Direction, Output Settings, and Negative Prompt

Text modes revolve around the prompt, negative prompt, mode-specific focus chips, creative direction, camera, lighting, palette, detail, variant count, and seed. The preflight review mirrors those choices before generation.

Preflight

AI Studio V2 Pro prompt enhancer review showing prompt text, original prompt, enhanced prompt, Use Enhanced, Keep Original, and Blend

Improve Prompt opens a review with Original and Enhanced text plus Use Enhanced, Keep Original, and Blend choices before the prompt is changed.

Prompt And Preflight

Write the main prompt first. The stage preflight repeats mode, frame, prompt preview, output tags, and warnings so the setup can be checked before credits are spent.

Prompt Focus Chips

Each mode supplies chips such as Cinematic realism, Clean commercial, Studio ecommerce, Feed safe, Professional headshot, Website hero, and Launch campaign. Choosing a chip adds targeted prompt language.

Creative Direction

Creative direction choices are Editorial, Product Ad, Brand Hero, Portrait, Interior, and Concept Art. Use this as the broad style profile before tuning camera and light.

Output Settings

Output settings expose Camera, Lighting, Palette, Detail, Variants, and Seed. Camera includes auto, close-up, wide angle, top down, macro, and low angle. Lighting includes auto, softbox, golden hour, neon, dramatic, and clean daylight. Palette includes auto, neutral, warm, cool, high contrast, and brand clean. Detail includes Fast draft, Balanced, and High detail.

Variants And Seed

Variants can run from 1 to 4 outputs. Seed can be left random or set to a numeric value for repeatable iteration. New Seed clears the current seed back to a fresh random run.

Negative Prompt

Use the negative prompt for avoid-list details: extra fingers, blurry text, warped logos, distorted packaging, unwanted watermarks, or any artifact the output should avoid.

Frame Formats

Frame Format Menu, Groups, Ratios, Sizes, and Mode Defaults

Frame Format is organized by output use case. Some labels share the same ratio and size, but the preset name still describes generation intent and export target.

Frames

The frame menu shows the current preset, grouped options, pixel size, ratio, and a mode-specific note.

Run And Credits

Credit Cost, Improve Prompt, New Seed, Generate, and Output Count

The run row is the final checkpoint before spending credits. It keeps prompt improvement, seed refresh, Generate, and the current cost model close to the selected options.

Credits

In Panel Bottom, the run row stays beneath prompt controls so the user can review setup before clicking Generate.

BuyRecover creditsBuy Credits sells 1 to 50 Pro credits at $1 per credit. Member Sign In restores purchased credits when the browser is not connected to the member session.

Reference Edit

Upload, Edit Instructions, Smart Reference, Before/After Stage, and Run Edit

Reference edit mode turns the stage into a before/after workflow. Upload a PNG, JPG, or WebP, write edit instructions, keep the useful smart toggles, then run the edit.

Edit

After a reference upload, the stage shows Before and After panes while the side panel keeps upload, preview, edit instructions, smart toggles, and Run Edit together.

Upload Reference

Use Upload reference for PNG, JPG, or WebP. The file name and reference preview confirm the input before any edit is run.

Edit Instructions

Write the requested change in Edit instructions. Leave it blank only when the text prompt already describes the edit intent clearly.

Smart Reference Toggles

Preserve subject and Improve lighting are checked by default. Add Change background, Keep colors, or Ad-ready crop when those constraints matter.

Before / After Stage

The stage compares the uploaded reference on the left with the edited result on the right. Before running, the After pane tells the user to run an edit to compare the result.

Run Edit

Run Edit spends 1 credit per edit in guest/member mode. Use it after confirming the file, instructions, smart toggles, and frame format.

Frame Still Matters

Reference edits can target social, web/brand, product/shop, or portrait/profile formats, so choose the final crop before running.

Variants And History

Generated Options, Downloads, Variant Review, and Prompt History

After generation, the stage can show generated options. Prompt history keeps previous setups available for reloads, while download actions belong to completed variants.

History

Prompt History is its own mode: load a previous setup when available, or clear stored history from the same panel.

Generated Options

When a generation succeeds, variants appear as Generated options below the stage. Select a card to promote that variant to the main preview.

Download

Download is available from completed variant cards. Locked or unavailable links should be treated as a sign that no downloadable result is ready yet.

Prompt History

History stores recent prompt setups after generation. Use Load Prompt to restore text, or Load Settings to recover the frame and control setup for iteration.

Clear History

Clear History removes stored prompt setups from the history list. Use it when the list no longer reflects active projects.

Reference Results

Reference edit results can also appear as generated options, and selecting them brings the before/after comparison back into view.

Review Before Saving

Confirm the selected variant, output frame, prompt intent, and visible artifacts before downloading or starting a new generation.

Check mode, frame, prompt, negative prompt, creative direction, camera, lighting, palette, detail, variant count, seed, and credit state in the preflight review.

Do frame targets always look exact?

Use the frame menu as the target crop and export intent, then review the completed variant before download. If the visible result needs a tighter crop or a different orientation, adjust the frame, prompt, or reference edit instructions and run another pass.

When should I use Prompt History?

Use Prompt History after successful runs when you want to reload a prior prompt or recover settings for another iteration.
