How to Edit an Image with Reference Images

Instead of generating a brand-new image, you can edit an existing one — Gavana uses the current image plus any reference images as input.

Prerequisites

An image node that already has an image on it

Steps

Step 1: Select the image node

Click the image node you want to edit. Its panel switches to editing mode for a populated node.

Step 2: Describe the edit

Type into the edit prompt field. The placeholder reads “Describe how you want to edit this image”.

Step 3: Add reference images (optional)

Attach one or more reference images to guide the edit — for example, a style reference or a product shot. These appear as Reference images (or Shared reference images when reused across a batch).

Step 4: Generate the edit

Click Generate to run the edit. The current image and any reference images are used as input.

Tips

Reference images are separate from the node’s own output — you can swap them out without losing your generated result.
Use Assets from the add menu to reuse an image already on the canvas as a reference.
