❓FAQ
Can I apply image settings to just some products?
→ No, settings apply globally. To avoid charges, disable image editing before uploading if you don’t want it applied.
Can I still remove backgrounds manually?
→ Yes. If auto background removal is off, you can manually remove backgrounds in the Product Buffer per image.
Are image edits reversible?
→ Yes you can swap between the edited and the original on the fly by clicking the option on the image in the product buffer. If you want to reprocess an image, you’ll need to delete and reupload it.
Only the background of the first image is removed?
→ This is by design as for close-up images the fabric might be mistaken for a background and removed accidentally. You can manually remove backgrounds in the Product Buffer per image.
