Image editor — tweak an image before you post

The first image the app gives you is usually nearly right — the crop’s a touch tight, the lighting’s a little cool, you want one line of text for a story. The editor lets you fix exactly that, on the image you already have, without regenerating.

How to use it

Open the editor from the Edit button on any image in the Composer or Library. It takes over the screen with a few simple toolsets.

1. Adjust — crop to a ratio, rotate, or flip.
2. Finetune — brightness, contrast, saturation, exposure.
3. Filters — one-click looks to match a campaign mood.
4. Annotate — drop text, a shape, or an arrow on top.

When you press Save, the image updates on your post and a copy is kept in your Library. Your caption and hashtags don’t change — only the picture does.

Edit vs. regenerate

Editing changes the photo you already have and costs nothing, because the AI work was already paid for. Regenerating throws it away and asks for a brand-new photo — that costs a credit and gives you something different. Edit when it’s almost right; regenerate when it’s wrong.

Worked example

The practice manager’s reception-area photo for the whitening-offer post is lovely but framed slightly off-centre, and the lighting reads a little cool. She opens the editor, nudges brightness up so the room feels warmer, recrops to a tidy square, and adds the line “Whitening this month” across the top for her story. She saves. The post now shows the polished version — no new credit, about a minute of work.
