FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI edit specific parts of an image?

    No. The AI can only generate new images or upscale existing ones using the available tools.

  • 02

    Does the AI choose the prompts for me?

    No. You provide the creative direction and descriptions, and the AI executes them.

  • 03

    How do I know when my image is done?

    The AI uses the status tool to track the job and will let you know when the image is ready.

  • 04

    Can I upscale an image that wasn't made with this AI?

    No. The upscale tool only works on images generated through this specific connection.
