Edit an image

View as markdown

Bearly can create a new version of an image from a plain-language instruction. You do not need to paint over an area: describe what should change, what should remain, and where the change belongs.

Make an edit

  1. Choose Edit Image

    Open a chat, type /, and select Edit Image.

  2. Attach the source image

    Select the plus icon beside the message box, choose Attach files, and add the image. If it is already attached in the conversation, identify it clearly in the request.

  3. Describe the change

    Be explicit about the subject, position, and details that should stay untouched.

    Replace the daytime sky with a restrained pink-and-blue sunset. Keep the building, camera angle, and all signs unchanged.

  4. Send the request

    Bearly creates an initial edit and opens the image gallery in the conversation. The new version appears beside its source.

  5. Inspect and continue

    Focus the edited image to review it. Select Edit again for another change, Re-run for another attempt with the same settings, or use Copy image, Download, and View full size to take the result elsewhere.

An edit produces a new image; it does not overwrite the source. Earlier uploads, generations, and edits remain available in the gallery.

For an image already in the gallery, focus it and select Edit. The source becomes selected, the gallery shows Editing 1 image, and the prompt field changes to What should change….

Enter the instruction, then choose one of the labeled editing-model buttons. Each button creates a separate result, making it possible to compare interpretations. Use Upload images in the thumbnail strip when you need to add another source without leaving the gallery.

Write a useful edit instruction

Give the model enough information to distinguish the requested change from the parts you want preserved:

  • Name the exact object or person to change.
  • Use spatial language only when it matters: “the lamp on the left,” “behind the subject,” or “in the upper-right corner.”
  • State important constraints, such as “keep the face unchanged” or “preserve the existing crop.”
  • For a broad transformation, name the intended medium or visual treatment.

For complex work, make one coherent change at a time. A shorter sequence of edits is easier to evaluate than one instruction containing several unrelated transformations.

If the edit is wrong or does not run

  • If the wrong image is selected, choose Cancel, then focus the intended source and select Edit again.
  • If Bearly changes too much, repeat the edit with a narrower instruction and explicitly name what must remain unchanged.
  • If the request says Blocked, remove explicit details or rephrase the instruction.
  • If it says Failed, retry or select a different editing model. A temporary model or network problem may succeed on another attempt.
  • If Bearly cannot load the source, upload the image again and retry from the new copy.
  • If editing controls are unavailable, the chat may be read-only or image tools may be disabled by a managed-team policy.
