Annotate edits & reference images

Two features give you fine control without starting over: annotate-and-edit changes a specific part of a result, and reference images steer a generation toward a look, subject, or composition. Together they're how you go from "close" to "exactly right."

Annotate-and-edit a region

Click any image result to open a full-screen editor. Mark the area you want changed, type an instruction, and PonPon regenerates just that part — the rest stays put. The toolset:

• Select, Brush, and Rectangle — define the region to edit.
• Text — add or place words.
• Eraser — remove from the marked area.
• A color picker for the brush and text.

Worked example. You generated a portrait you like, but the shirt is the wrong color and there's a stray cup on the table:

1. Brush over the shirt → instruction: *"make the shirt forest green."* Regenerate.
2. Rectangle around the cup → instruction: *"remove the cup, fill with the wood table."* Regenerate.

Two small passes, and everything you already liked — the face, the pose, the light — is untouched.

Annotate vs re-prompt

• Annotate when the image is right except for one area — a detail, an object, a word.
• Re-prompt when the whole composition or style is off and you want a fresh take.

Editing preserves the parts you already liked, so it's usually the cheaper, faster path once a generation is close.

Reference images and @ mentions

Attach up to 10 reference images — upload, paste, drag, or "use as reference" from the gallery — to guide style, composition, or a specific subject.

While writing the prompt, type @ to point at a specific attached image:

Dress @Image1 in the jacket from @Image2, in the setting of @Image3.

It's the cleanest way to combine several references into one shot, and it removes the ambiguity of "the blue one" when you have multiple images attached.

Tips

• Keep edit instructions small and specific — one change per pass beats a paragraph of changes.
• For references, attach images that are sharp and on-message; a cluttered reference muddies the result.
• Stack the two: generate with references, then annotate-and-edit the last detail.
