The outcome

Produce a controlled image edit whose source, mask, instructions, transformations, and approvals remain auditable.

Step by step

A workflow you can repeat.

  1. 01

    Confirm ownership or permission for the image and depicted people, then define the exact edit, protected regions, output size, and prohibited changes.

  2. 02

    Remove unnecessary metadata, retain an immutable original, and create a precise mask or prompt with supported dimensions and request size.

  3. 03

    Call the narrowest edit endpoint with a server-side key, explicit output format and seed, and no unrelated reference images or sensitive data.

  4. 04

    Compare output against the original for unintended identity, logo, text, background, lighting, and safety changes at full resolution.

  5. 05

    Store the original, mask, prompt, endpoint, seed, and approved result separately; disclose material edits and delete rejected assets on schedule.

Working standard

What good use looks like.

  • Keep an immutable original.
  • Use the narrowest edit endpoint.
  • Document material alterations.
