Feature Deep Dive

Intelligent Image Editing

Upload your own photos, generate new ones, and edit any image from your conversation history seamlessly. See how RidgeText understands context to perfectly modify and merge your images via SMS.

Most AI bots only let you edit the very last image you created. RidgeText's intelligent history tracking allows you to reference and modify any image within your active session.

You can bounce between uploaded photos, generated images, and entirely new concepts without losing your place. Below is a real conversation showcasing how this seamless editing journey works, step by step.

Step 1

Analyzing an Uploaded Photo

It starts with a simple upload. We send an image of a mountain and ask RidgeText to describe what it sees.

Mountain landscape with snow peak, evergreen trees, and a dirt road in the foreground

Uploaded Photo

User: What does this image show?

RidgeText

This photo captures a beautiful mountain landscape. You can see a large, rugged mountain peak dusted with snow, towering over a dense forest of evergreen pine trees. In the foreground, there is a dirt road or trail winding through the base of the mountain, under a clear blue sky filled with scattered white clouds. It looks like a great spot for an outdoor adventure!

Step 2

Generating New Images

Next, we ask RidgeText to generate some completely new images. We add a generated mountain and an elephant to the chat history.

Generated Image 1

User: Generate an image of a snow covered mountain in late October with green ponderosa pines leading up to the snowline. The sun is out and the sky is bright blue with white clouds over the mountain.

RidgeText

This scene captures the crisp contrast of late autumn, with vibrant green ponderosa pines reaching up to the clean, snow-dusted slopes of the mountain peak. The bright blue sky and scattered white clouds make for a beautiful, clear day in the high country.

Generated Image 2

User: Now generate an image of an elephant

RidgeText

This majestic elephant is captured in its natural savanna habitat, standing calmly under the bright daylight.

Step 3

Contextual Image Editing

This is where the magic happens. We have three images in our history now: the uploaded mountain, the generated mountain, and the elephant. We can ask to edit any of them.

Editing the Uploaded Photo

User: Can you edit the first image to add a dramatic sunrise over the mountain?

RidgeText

The morning sun casts a breathtaking glow across the mountain, turning the snow a soft gold and stretching long, dramatic shadows through the pine forest. The early light highlights the textures of the landscape, making the peak look truly stunning as the day begins.

Editing the Elephant

User: Can you also edit the elephant image with a similar dramatic sky?

RidgeText

The early morning light completely transforms the savanna. With the sun rising, the sky is filled with vibrant shades of orange, pink, and soft purple, casting a warm, golden glow across the elephant's skin and the surrounding grasses. The long shadows add a beautiful sense of depth to the entire scene as the day begins.

Editing the Generated Photo

User: Nice. Now let's edit the second mountain image with a similar dramatic sky.

RidgeText

The sunrise completely transforms the scene, washing the snow-dusted peak and the surrounding pines in a rich, golden light. The sky is now ablaze with vibrant hues of orange and soft pink, and the long, dramatic shadows stretching across the valley floor highlight the textures of the forest and the winding stream. It gives the entire landscape a warm, peaceful glow as the day breaks.

Step 4

Merging Multiple Images

Because RidgeText's LLM can pass multiple reference IDs to the image generator at once, we aren't just limited to editing a single image. We can ask the AI to combine elements from entirely different images in our chat history.

Multi-Image Compositing

User: Please merge the elephant into the picture of the generated mountain.

RidgeText

The elephant now stands peacefully near the stream in the foreground of the mountain valley, perfectly illuminated by the warm, golden light of the rising sun. The contrast between the massive, snow-capped peak and the gentle giant in the clearing creates a truly unique and serene scene.

Step 5

A Funny Scenario: The Photobomber

We can pivot entirely to a new subject, create a complex scene, and then refine it perfectly in the next step.

Generating a complex scene

User: Create an image of 2 people posing for a photo in front of the Eiffel Tower with a weird tourist guy in a rayon tourist shirt and khaki shorts in the background, photobombing their picture.

RidgeText

This photo captures a couple smiling for a picture in front of the iconic Eiffel Tower. However, there is a funny twist in the background, where a tourist wearing a loud, patterned shirt and khaki shorts has hilariously photobombed the shot by grinning directly into the camera.

Erasing the photobomber

User: Please edit the picture to erase the weird guy in the background and all of the other people except the couple and the scenery.

RidgeText

The scene is now perfectly focused on the couple posing in front of the Eiffel Tower, with the background cleared of all other tourists for a clean, uninterrupted shot.

A Smarter Context Window

Unlike simple bots that can only look at the previous message, RidgeText assigns an invisible ID to every image that enters the chat. When you ask to "edit the first image" or "change the sky in the elephant picture", the AI scans the history, finds the correct ID, and fetches the original image to use as a baseline.

This means you don't have to keep re-uploading the same photo to make multiple changes, and you can generate several different concepts before deciding which one you want to refine.

Session & Image Limits

Conversation history — Your editing session resets after 6 hours of inactivity. Any new message within that window keeps the session alive and all image references intact.
Image storage — All uploaded and generated images are automatically deleted after 24 hours. Once an image expires, it can no longer be referenced for editing and must be re-uploaded.
