Image Studio
Make pictures and short videos with your own image providers, and finish them in an editor with layers — side by side with Iris, an agent who can see the canvas.
Image Studio is the other half of Semantix: a workspace for pictures. It has three parts, and they're built to work as one:
- The composer — a prompt, a model, a few settings, and Generate. It renders with the image and video providers you connect, on your key.
- The editor — layers, selections, brushes, adjustment layers, filters and export. What the composer renders lands here, never in a list you have to fish it out of.
- Iris — an agent beside the canvas who can see the picture, use the editor's tools, and render on her own when you ask.
Opening it#
The header has a Code / Media switch. Media turns the whole window over to Image Studio; Code brings the IDE back. Image Studio keeps its state while you're away — switch back and everything is where you left it.
The editor fills the window. Iris and the composer share one floating window over it — Agent and Composer at the top switch between the two, and you can drag it wherever the picture isn't.
What it needs#
An image provider. Connect one under Settings → Models → Providers — ModelsLab, Venice or Siray — the same cards as chat models. Until the model you pick has its provider connected, the composer says <Provider> is not connected. Connect it in Settings → Models → Providers. and won't render.
Your key stays on your machine. Image Studio — and Iris — never see it; renders go through the Semantix server on your behalf.
For Iris, a model to think with, like any agent. She has a model picker of her own.
What it costs#
Every render is billed by your provider, to you. The composer shows a price beside Generate —
~$… for a set price, or from $… for a model whose price moves with its settings (from $… /s
for video, which is billed by the second). It's the provider's own
figure or an estimate, not a quote: a bigger size, a longer video or a model's extras can raise
the bill.
Content and the safety filter#
Most providers screen what their models make. The composer shows the Vendor safety filter and whether it's on — on by default.
Some models have no filter at all. Those run only after you confirm you are 18 or older, and a prompt that suggests anyone under 18 is refused. An edit that starts from a picture of your own — a file, a paste, an edited image — may show a real person, and the composer says plainly what the filter will and won't do for that edit before you send it.
The rest of this section#
- Making pictures — the composer: models, prompts, references, settings, LoRAs and prompt history.
- The editor — tools, layers, projects and export.
- Iris — the agent beside the canvas.
Where it is now#
Note
Image Studio is new, and built and tested on Linux. Renders run on the Semantix server: if the server restarts while a render is in flight, that render is lost. Your providers' catalogues change often, and a few video models are listed from the vendor's own description and not yet measured by us. Where something on these pages is marked coming, it means exactly that.
