Riverflow is powered by the number 1 ranked image editing model in the world, Riverflow 2.5, giving you unparalleled control for both small, precise edits to large transformations.

For detailed editing instructions, use:

Open An Image

You can open an image by clicking it from most image galleries in Riverflow.

For example, you can open images from:

  • Photoshoots

  • Images

  • Editor

  • Batch outputs

  • Products

  • Folders

  • Uploads

  • Ads, where the asset is an image ad

Once open, the image preview shows the asset at a larger size and gives you the available actions for that image.

The exact actions can vary depending on where the image came from and what your workspace has enabled.

Organisation And Sharing Actions

These actions can be found beneath your name in the Image Preview screen.

Use these actions when the image is useful and you want to keep, share, move, or download it.

Thumbs Up

Use Thumbs up to mark a useful result where feedback controls are available.

Thumbs Down

Use Thumbs down to mark a poor result where feedback controls are available.

Copy Image

Use Copy image when you want to copy the image itself to your clipboard.

Copy Link

Use Copy link when you want to share a link to the image preview.

Download

Use Download when you want to save the image file locally. Where download options are available, choose the file type or size that matches your next use.

If you need a transparent PNG workflow, use How to Export Assets as Transparent PNGs.

Open In New Tab

Use Open in new tab when you want to view the image file directly in your browser.

Add To Folder

Use Add to folder when you want to save the image into one or more folders for later use. Folders are managed in Organize.

Creation And Editing Actions

These actions can be found at the top of the image, and are best for making quick standardised edits to the image.

Generate Video

Use Generate video when you want to use the image as a starting point for video generation.

This is useful when the image has a strong composition, product position, or visual direction and you want to turn it into motion.

Quick Edit

Use Quick edit when the image content needs an AI edit.

Quick Edit changes the pixels in the image from a written instruction. It is useful for removing objects, changing props, adjusting lighting, changing a background detail, or making a masked local edit.

For the full workflow, use Performing AI Edits on Images.

Editor

Use Editor when you want manual layer and layout control.

The canvas editor lets you add and adjust text, logos, images, canvas size, background colour, and other visible layers. Use it when the layout needs to change, rather than the image content itself.

For the full workflow, use Using Canvas Editor for Images.

Save As A Scene

Use Save as a Scene when you want the current image to become inspiration for future Photoshoots.

Scenes guide composition, framing, setting, and creative direction. They are not exact 3D templates. When you use a Scene in Photoshoots, Riverflow adapts the scene to your product, style, prompt, references, and selected settings.

Scenes you create are private to the selected brand. They do not enter the public Riverflow Scene library.

Generate Again

Use Generate again when you want Riverflow to create another result from the same starting point or setup, where available.

This is useful when the overall direction is right but you want more options.

See More Like This

Use See more like this when you want more variations inspired by the current image.

This is useful when the image has the right style or commercial direction, but you want to explore nearby alternatives.

Remix

Use Remix where available when you want to reopen the generation setup behind an asset.

Remix loads the original ingredients back into the control panel so you can adjust the scene, product, style, character, references, prompt, format, or other settings before generating again.

Change Aspect Ratio

Use Change aspect ratio when the same image needs a new format, such as 1:1, 4:5, 9:16, or landscape.

Riverflow can extend, crop, or reframe the image so it fits the new channel or placement more naturally than a simple crop.

Use Batch if you need to change aspect ratio across many images.

Generate Angles

Use Generate angles when you want additional product or camera views from an image you already like.

This is useful for product-gallery style outputs, controlled follow-up views, or checking how a product might look from different angles.

It is free to view the 9 angle variations. Credits are used when you select a variation and upscale it.

Swap Products

Use Swap products when the scene, composition, and styling are useful, but the product needs to change.

This is useful when you want to reuse an approved asset for another SKU, flavour, product variant, or pack format.

Use Batch if you need to swap products across many assets.

Fix Product Details

Use Fix product details when the product is mostly right but details are wrong.

This is useful for correcting label text, logos, artwork, pack shape, material finish, product colour, or other fine packaging details.

For artwork-heavy fixes, use Preparing Artwork for Fix Product Details.

Choose The Right Next Step

  • Use Quick edit when the image content needs to change.

  • Use Editor when text, logos, images, canvas size, or layout elements need manual adjustment.

  • Use Change aspect ratio when the same image needs a new format.

  • Use Swap products when the scene is right but the SKU should change.

  • Use Fix product details when product artwork, label, logo, visible text, or packaging accuracy is the problem.

  • Use Generate angles when you want new controlled views from a strong starting image.

  • Use Save as a Scene when you want to use the image as inspiration for future Photoshoots.

  • Use Remix when you want to change the ingredients that created the asset.

  • Use Generate again or See more like this when the overall direction is promising but you need more options.

  • Use Batch when the same change needs to run across many assets.
