Generating Images

TL;DR — Generate panel images one at a time or in batches, edit them with image-to-image instructions, upload your own artwork, and browse version history.

Single Generation

Hover over any panel to reveal the regenerate button, or open the panel detail view and generate from there. Each generation creates a new version of the panel image.

Batch Generation

Select multiple panels and click Generate(N) to generate them all in parallel. A progress counter in the toolbar tracks how many panels are done as they complete.

Model Picker

In edit mode, a model dropdown lets you choose which AI image model to use for generation. Your choice is remembered for the next time you generate.

Seed and Negative Prompt

Set a seed number for reproducible results — the same seed with the same prompt produces the same image. Add a negative prompt to exclude unwanted elements (e.g. “no text, no watermark”). Click Pin to save your seed and negative prompt as defaults for this storyboard’s design.

Reference Images

The generator automatically includes character wardrobe portraits and location establishing shots as reference images. For characters, it uses a fallback chain: the wardrobe photo for the current design first, then any wardrobe photo, then the character portrait.

Panel Detail View

Click any panel to open a full-size overlay showing the image, reference thumbnails, script data (dialogue, action, camera angle, notes, characters), and generation metrics like time and cost.

Image-to-Image Editing

In the detail view, click Edit Image, type a description of what you want to change, and apply. The AI modifies the existing image based on your instructions rather than generating from scratch.

Uploading Images

Upload your own artwork via file picker, drag-and-drop, or paste from clipboard. Uploaded images replace the generated one for that panel and are saved as a new version.

Version History

Every generation and upload is saved as a version. Use the arrow buttons to browse previous versions, and click Use This Version to restore an older one.

Cost Tracking

The toolbar shows the total generation cost for the storyboard. Open the panel detail view to see per-panel cost and generation metrics.
