Canvas Editor - AI-Powered Design Refinement

The Canvas Editor is your interactive workspace for refining, editing, and perfecting jewelry designs with AI assistance. Make precise modifications, generate variations, and fine-tune every detail—all through natural language commands and intuitive visual tools.

Overview

Canvas Editor combines traditional image editing with AI-powered intelligence, allowing you to:

Edit specific areas with AI inpainting
Generate design variations while keeping elements you like
Use conversational commands to modify designs
Fine-tune materials, gems, and details precisely
Visualize changes instantly before committing

Think of it as Photoshop meets ChatGPT—but specifically for jewelry design.

Core Features

1. AI Inpainting

Edit specific areas of your design:

How it works:

Select area to modify (brush or lasso)
Describe what you want instead
AI generates new content for that area only
Rest of design stays untouched

Example uses:


"Change the center diamond to an emerald"
"Make the band thicker"
"Add filigree details to the shoulders"
"Remove the side stones"
"Change gold from yellow to white"

Best for:

Swapping gemstones
Adjusting proportions
Adding/removing details
Changing materials
Fixing imperfections

2. Conversational Editing

Tell AI what to change in plain English:

Simple Commands:


"Make it more vintage-looking"
"Add more sparkle to the diamonds"
"Simplify the design"
"Make the band wider"

Specific Requests:


"Replace the center round diamond with a 2-carat oval sapphire"
"Add milgrain edging around the halo"
"Change the metal from 18k yellow gold to platinum"
"Make the setting lower profile"

Complex Modifications:


"Transform this into an Art Deco style, keeping the center stone
but adding geometric details and replacing the halo with
tapered baguettes"

The AI understands context and makes intelligent modifications while preserving what you don’t mention.

3. Variation Generation

Create alternative versions while keeping key elements:

Selective Variation:

Lock elements you want to keep
Select what to vary
Generate multiple options
Compare side-by-side

Variation Types:

Material Variations:

Same design in different metals
Alternative gemstone colors
Different finishes (polished, matte, brushed)

Style Variations:

Modern → Vintage
Simple → Ornate
Delicate → Bold
Classic → Contemporary

Proportion Variations:

Thicker/thinner bands
Larger/smaller center stones
Adjusted setting heights
Scaled details

Example Workflow:

“Keep the center sapphire and overall shape”
“Generate 4 variations with different band styles”
Review options
Select favorite
Further refine

4. Layer Management

Work with design elements separately:

Layers include:

Background
Base design
Modifications
Effects overlay
Text/annotations

Layer Operations:

Show/hide layers
Adjust opacity
Lock layers
Merge layers
Duplicate layers

Benefits:

Non-destructive editing
Easy comparisons
Undo specific changes
Organize complex edits

5. Prompt-to-Edit

Use text prompts for precise control:

Material Changes:


Prompt: "metal: platinum, center stone: 2ct emerald"
Result: AI swaps materials precisely

Setting Modifications:


Prompt: "setting: bezel instead of prong, add gallery detail"
Result: AI reconstructs setting style

Size Adjustments:


Prompt: "band width: 3mm → 5mm, proportional adjustments"
Result: AI scales appropriately

Advanced Tools

Smart Selection

AI-assisted selection:

Click gemstone → AI selects it precisely
Click “band” → AI selects entire band
Contextual understanding of jewelry components

Reference Blending

Combine multiple references:

Upload 2-5 reference images
Specify what to take from each
AI synthesizes into current design

Example:


"Take the band style from Image 1, the setting
from Image 2, and apply them to my current design"

Style Transfer

Apply aesthetic styles:

Art Deco
Victorian
Modern minimalist
Bohemian organic
Luxury maximalist

AI adapts your design to match the style while keeping core elements.

Color Grading

Adjust lighting and tones:

Warmer/cooler tones
Brightness/contrast
Saturation of gemstones
Metal reflectivity
Shadow depth

Quality Enhancement

AI upscaling and refinement:

Increase resolution (2x, 4x)
Sharpen details
Enhance gemstone sparkle
Improve lighting
Remove artifacts

Workflow Examples

Example 1: Refine Generated Design

Starting Point: AI-generated engagement ring

“Make the center diamond 20% larger”
“Change yellow gold to white gold”
“Add thin pavé band”
“Simplify the basket setting”
Compare before/after
Save final version

Example 2: Create Collection

Starting Point: One hero design

Lock center design elements
Generate material variations (gold, platinum, rose gold)
Create size variations (different stone sizes)
Generate style variations (classic, modern, vintage)
Select 4-5 collection pieces
Export all

Example 3: Client Revisions

Starting Point: Client feedback on design

Open original design
“Add more Art Deco detailing as discussed”
“Make center stone oval instead of round”
“Increase overall size by 15%”
Generate 2-3 options
Share with client
Further refine based on selection

Example 4: Fix Imperfections

Starting Point: Design with flaws

Select flawed area
“Remove this artifact”
“Fix the lighting here”
“Enhance gemstone clarity”
“Sharpen band edges”
Final quality check
Export high-resolution

Tips for Best Results

Be Specific

Vague: “Make it better” Specific: “Increase band width to 4mm and add milgrain edging”

Iterative Refinement

Don’t try to change everything at once:

Make one modification
Review result
Next modification
Build up gradually

Use Reference Images

Show, don’t just tell:

Upload example of desired style
AI understands visual references better
Combine text + images for precision

Lock What You Love

Before generating variations:

Lock elements you want to keep
Prevents unwanted changes
Focuses AI on areas you want varied

Compare Versions

Use comparison view:

Side-by-side before/after
Toggle between versions
Spot subtle differences
Make informed choices

Try smaller, incremental edits

Modifications don’t look realistic

Use higher quality AI models
Provide reference images
Be more specific about materials
Try multiple variations and compare

Canvas running slowly
