An overview of the four image editing tools in Qolaba — Inpainting, Upscaling, Background Removal, and Image Variation — what each does and when to use it.
Image Editing Tools allow you to modify, enhance, and transform existing images without regenerating from scratch. Each tool is purpose-built for a specific type of edit — from selectively replacing parts of an image to increasing resolution, removing backgrounds, and generating creative variations.
Selectively replace or modify a specific area of an image using a brush and prompt
Removing objects, changing details, fixing artifacts
Increase image resolution 2x to 4x without regenerating
Print preparation, high-resolution export, large-format display
Automatically detect and remove the background from any image
Product photography, design assets, social media content
Generate creative variations inspired by reference images
Style exploration, A/B testing visuals, creative iteration
Editing tools are most valuable when the core subject, composition, or structure of an image is already correct and you only need to modify a specific element. Regenerating from scratch makes more sense when the overall direction needs to change.
Background needs replacing
Background Removal + new generation, or Inpainting
One object needs changing
Inpainting
Image needs higher resolution
Upscaling
Need alternative versions of an image
Image Variation
Overall composition is wrong
Regenerate with refined prompt
Style needs complete change
Regenerate with new model or preset
