Generate images with references

Last updated: September 8, 2026 · 2 min read

Generate artwork from a prompt or an existing image.

A generated image first appears in the result feed. Adding it to the canvas is a separate action.

Follow these steps

  1. 1

    Choose a starting mode

    EditorAI Image

    Open AI Image in the left panel. Choose generation from scratch or work from an existing image. For the latter, upload a file or choose a source image.

  2. 2

    Prepare references

    EditorAI ImageReferences

    When working from an image, add supporting references. Check which is the base image and which are supplementary. Remove unwanted references with their cross controls.

  3. 3

    Describe the output

    EditorAI ImagePrompt

    Describe subject, composition, lighting, and details to preserve. Generate and wait for the result. Check the source before regenerating from a previous result.

  4. 4

    Add to the page

    EditorAI ImageAdd to Canvas

    Use Add to Canvas on the preferred result. The generated asset is also registered in uploads. Set size, crop, stacking, and alternative text on the page. Regenerate starts another attempt.

Result

Inspect the generated image both at full size and in the page layout.
