Archly guide

Upload your image, make your first result, compare and return to your work. Choose a task or tool below.

Compare and choose

Inspect alternatives before choosing the result that continues through your canvas.

Before you start

A completed image result; a recorded source is needed for comparison with the source used.

Steps

  1. Open the image preview or Compare to inspect the result. Use zoom, pan and Fit to examine the framing and details.
  2. In Edit, use Compare with source used when available. Current source can differ from the source of an earlier result.
  3. Review Previous run without changing the current selection. Missing source history is shown as unavailable; it is not reconstructed from today's connections.
  4. Choose a current result when you want it to feed the connected cards. Previewing history alone does not make that choice.
  5. Use Separate image when you need a copy on the canvas to continue another direction. Compare again after each new generation.
What you get
A deliberate selected result, with earlier outputs still available for inspection.
What to keep in mind
Comparison is visual inspection, not geometric registration or a measurement check. Selecting an output can change the image used by downstream cards; opening a preview does not start a generation.
Architectural prompt examples

Anatomy of a strong prompt

Name the subject and geometry, then materials, light and camera. Give each sentence a clear purpose.

Two-storey timber house with a cantilevered upper volume. Warm larch cladding, black window frames. Golden hour, long soft shadows. Eye-level three-quarter view.

Iterate on your building

With an image connected to Edit, describe the change and what should stay. Inspect the result: a preservation instruction is not a guarantee.

Same house, same view. Swap the facade to weathered red brick.

Describe the masked result

Describe what should appear in the painted region, including material and light. Available mask controls depend on the engine.

Floor-to-ceiling glazing with slim bronze mullions

Address image slots

In Edit, image 1 is the source. Image 2 and later are references in the displayed order. Explain each image's role.

Place the building from image 1 into the red-marked area of image 2. Match perspective and scale.

Separate design and representation

A design style describes the architecture; watercolor or marker describes its representation. State which should change.

Describe film movement

Use camera verbs: orbit, push-in, rise and reveal. Choose an available duration. For 3D, use a clear view and inspect inferred surfaces.

Slow cinematic orbit around the building, dusk light

Populate with intent

Describe who uses the space, how busy it feels, and the light the figures should match.

A lively number of people: families with children, two cyclists. Late afternoon light.
