8. Multi-turn Image Context

Use previous images as context for seamless editing workflows.

Context Modes:

ModeDescriptionUse When
No ContextFresh generationStarting new image
Use Previous OneLast image as contextContinuing single edit
Use Previous TenLast 10 images as contextComplex multi-image edits

How It Works:

When you enable context:

  1. AI receives previous image(s) automatically
  2. Your edit applies to those images
  3. Creates edited version maintaining consistency

How to Use:

Enable Context:

  1. Look for "Image Context" selector (next to Aspect Ratio)
  2. Choose your mode
  3. Type your edit
  4. AI applies to context images

Example Workflow:

Turn 1: "Portrait of a man in a suit"
→ Context: No Context
Note: Select Aspect Ratio 2:3 -> 832x1248 for best practice
Turn 2: "Make the suit blue"
→ Context: Use Previous One
→ AI edits the existing portrait
Turn 3: "Add a hat"
→ Context: Use Previous One
→ AI adds hat to the blue suit version
Turn 4: "Create 3 variations"
→ Context: Use Previous One
→ AI creates 3 variations maintaining style

Advanced Use:

"Use Previous Ten" Mode:

  • For batch processing
  • Maintaining consistent style across series
  • Complex multi-step edits

Pro Tip: Context includes both:

  • AI-generated images
  • User-uploaded images
  • But NOT user text prompts (clean slate each time!)
