Removing Image Backgrounds

You can edit your images with AI individually or in bulk. 

To edit a single image: 

       1.  Select an image from the All assets page. (You can also edit the image directly from its                      asset detail page).

       2.  Click the "AI Edit" (🪄) icon.
       3.  In the modal, choose "Remove background".

       4.  To generate the result, click "Generate".

This will create a copy of your original asset with the applied edits. The original image is not overwritten and remains unchanged. 

Relighting Your Images

Relighting your images with AI in Plytix helps you quickly improve and adjust the lighting of your product photos in just a few clicks. This makes it easy to create more consistent visuals across your catalog, especially when images come from different environments or setups.

To edit a single image: 

1. Select an image from the All assets page. (You can also edit the image directly from its asset detail page)
2. Click the "AI Edit" (🪄) icon.
3. In the modal, choose "Relight".
4. A panel will appear. On the left side, you will see the configuration options, including Relight styles and editable parameters. On the right side, you will see the preview of the result.

       5.   Click Preview to test your settings.

        6.  Click Generate to apply the changes and create the new asset.

This will create a copy of your original asset with the applied edits. The original image is not overwritten and remains unchanged. 

Creating a Custom Prompt 

With AI Edit in Plytix, you can create your own custom prompts to define how your images should be transformed. You simply describe the result you want, and the Plytix AI applies it to your asset. This gives you more flexibility to adjust and enhance product images so they better match your needs. 

To edit a single image: 
        1.  Select an image from the All assets page. (You can also edit the image directly from its                       asset detail page).

        2. Click the "AI Edit" (🪄) icon.

        3.  In the modal, choose "Custom prompt".

        4.  Describe the transformation to the selected assets.

This will create a copy of your original asset with the applied edits. The original image is not overwritten and remains unchanged. 

Editing Images in Bulk

To edit multiple images at once using AI:

      1.    Head to the “All Assets” page

      2.    Choose the images you want to edit.

       3.   In the bulk actions menu, click "AI Edit", and select one of the editing options.
Follow the same steps to generate your transformed images and save them to your library.

Managing AI Image Jobs 

Depending on how many images you’re transforming at once, your AI progress may continue running in the background after you’ve saved your edits. 

You can continue working in Plytix while your new images are processed. In the meantime, you can:

• Track progress: You can monitor active jobs in the "Process Queue" section through the "Activity Log" button.

• Cancel jobs: To stop an AI bulk image transformation that is currently running, click “Cancel” in the Process Queue.
  
  

• Review results: Once the process is complete, you’ll get an in-tool notification. Check the newly generated assets to make sure they meet your quality standards.
