IMAGE EDITING · Workflow idea
For a creator with permission to edit an image, apply written directions to prepare a proposed revision. The result may change details beyond the request, remove context, or alter the way a person or product is represented. Keep the original, confirm rights and consent for identifiable people, compare the full result with its source, and disclose material edits when viewers could otherwise be misled. Require a human to approve the exact revision before it replaces or is shared alongside the original.
01 / The starting point
An image the creator may edit, a specific written change request, and an accountable reviewer
“Prepare a targeted image revision without hiding material changes or losing the original.”
02 / The work
Applies written instructions to a selected image and returns a proposed visual edit for review.
Check that the creator may submit and edit the source image for this use.
Specify the desired edit and avoid requests that create a misleading or harmful depiction.
Keep a source copy and inspect the full revised image for unintended changes.
Confirm consent and ensure the edit does not distort an identity, product, or documentary meaning.
Have an authorized reviewer approve the exact edit and explain material alterations when needed.
03 / The result
A proposed edited image linked to its source and awaiting human approval.
Reviews & approvals · Example outcome
A proposed edited image linked to its source and awaiting human approval.
An edit can alter unrequested objects, people, or context. Keep the source intact, compare the complete revision, confirm consent and rights, and avoid presenting a materially changed image as an untouched original.
04 / Make it yours
A few choices shape the work around your team.
Disclose external processing and set access and deletion rules for source images and edits.
Confirm permission to edit the image and informed consent for identifiable people.
Keep an unchanged source and enough context to review or restore an edit.
Keep edits as drafts until an owner checks accuracy, context, and any disclosure needs.
