# Create and edit images

> Ask Temperate for an image in a chat, and change it step by step.

Ask for an image in your own words, in any chat. Temperate shows it in the answer.

## Create an image

Describe what it should show: the subject, the style, the colours, and any words on it. You can also select the plus in the field, then **Make an image**.

* "Make a simple diagram of how an invoice goes from draft to paid, in blue and white."
* "Make a header image for the October newsletter, with autumn colours."

An image takes between ten seconds and two minutes.

> [!TIP]
>
> For a chart of your own numbers, ask for a chart. Temperate then draws it with exact figures.

## Change an image

Say what should be different, and the rest stays the same.

* "Make the first arrow orange."
* "Remove the background."

You can also add your own picture to a message and ask for a change.

## Point at what to change

**1. Open the image beside the chat**

Select the image, then select **Comment**.

**2. Comment on the spot**

Select the place on the image, and write what should change.

**3. Send**

Add as many comments as you need, then select **Send**.

## Other tools

| Tool | What it does |
| - | - |
| **Markup** | Draw on the image, then say what you mean. |
| **Erase** | Paint over a part to remove it. |
| **Remove background** | Makes the background transparent. |
| **Resize** | Changes the shape to square, landscape or portrait. |

To zoom, use your mouse wheel or trackpad.

## Versions

Each change creates a new version, and the earlier ones stay. Select the image to see all versions, save it, or share it with your space. To go back, say "continue from the first version". Images are also under **Artifacts** in the Library.

A higher [effort](https://docs.temperate.works/chat/start-a-chat.md#effort) gives a more detailed image, but takes longer and uses more of your usage. Temperate tells you if it can't make an image.
