Describe the scene you want, choose a model and click the green button: your images appear at the top of your feed in a few seconds. This article walks you through your first generation, step by step.

The Creation screen at a glance

• The navigation bar: Creation, Collections, Edition, Video, Custom models and Workflow.
• The project, credits and account, at the top right. The selector shows the active project. The Credits gauge tracks your usage. Help opens the help center.
• The prompt bar: reference images on the left, your text in the center (up to 3,000 characters).
• The model, the palette and the settings, then the green button to generate. The credit cost is shown just above it.
• The history of your generations: search, filters by date and model, list or grid view.
• The Collections panel, on the side, to file your images and create collections.

Generate an image in five steps

1. Write your prompt. Describe the scene, the lighting, the framing and how the visual will be used. Type @ to insert a model, an image or a color without leaving the keyboard.
2. Choose the model. Click the model name below the prompt. Your Seelab models are listed first.
3. Add reference images if needed. The image button, left of the prompt, accepts up to 10 images. See Using up to 10 reference images.
4. Adjust the output. The settings icon gives access to the format, the number of images, the resolution and the quality. The palette enforces colors.
5. Generate. Check the cost shown above the green button, then click. The images appear at the top of your feed.

What a generation costs

Every generation uses credits. The exact number depends on the model, the number of images, the resolution and the reference images added. It is always shown above the green button before you launch: you know what you are spending before you click.

Tips

• Start simple, then enrich the prompt from one generation to the next.
• Generate several images at once (X2 to X4) to compare variations before refining.
• Remove reference images when you change subject: they stay attached to the prompt.
• Your feed is private. To share an image with your team, add it to a collection.
