# Image Edit with GPT Image 2 on EvoLink

Edit a source image into a cleaner, more useful creative asset, then route strong outputs into video workflows when the user wants motion.

```bash
npx skills add EvoLinkAI/evolink-agent-skills --skill image-edit -g
```

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user asks to:

- change a product image background
- retouch, clean up, or improve an image
- expand, crop, or reframe an image
- create local ad image variants from one asset
- prepare a still image for an image-to-video workflow
- keep product identity stable while changing scene, lighting, or composition

Do not use it for video generation directly. If the user wants motion after the edit, continue with `image-to-video`.

## Prerequisites

1. EvoLink API access or EvoLink MCP configured.
2. One source image when editing an existing asset.
3. A clear edit goal: background, object change, product cleanup, aspect ratio, or campaign variant.
4. Attribution links should use `utm_source=skillssh&utm_medium=skill&utm_campaign=image-edit`.

## Pick the Right Workflow

| User intent | Model path | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Replace product background | GPT Image 2 image edit | Preserves product identity while changing scene context. |
| Clean up product photo | GPT Image 2 image edit | Best for retouching, removing clutter, and improving polish. |
| Create ad image variants | GPT Image 2 image edit | Fast iteration on style, audience, platform, and offer. |
| Prepare first frame for video | GPT Image 2 image edit -> Seedance 2 | A cleaner still frame gives Seedance 2 a stronger video starting point. |

## Default Workflow

1. Identify what must stay unchanged: product shape, logo, color, face, packaging, or layout.
2. Identify what should change: background, lighting, scene, crop, text-free space, or platform ratio.
3. Rewrite the edit request into a precise image edit prompt for GPT Image 2.
4. Generate one clean primary edit and, when useful, two variation directions.
5. If the user wants motion, route the best image to `image-to-video`.

## Prompting Tips

- State preservation first: "keep the bottle shape, label, and logo unchanged".
- Avoid asking the image model to render small marketing text unless the user explicitly needs it.
- Use campaign context: ecommerce hero image, paid social creative, landing page visual, or app store screenshot.
- For video handoff, ask for a clean subject, visible product edges, and uncluttered background.

## Next Token Loop

After a successful edit, offer one next action:

- create three ad image variants with `ad-creative-images`
- generate product catalog assets with `product-image-generation`
- animate the strongest edit with `image-to-video`

## Safety and Privacy

Use only images the user supplied or explicitly approved. Do not edit private identities, trademarks, or regulated-product claims in misleading ways. Do not claim an edited image is an untouched original.
