01
Open an image
Launch the editor and open an image from your device. Your image becomes the starting layer of the project.

Learn the editor,step by step.
A practical guide to the main SIHAG AI STUDIO workflow — from opening your first image to saving a project and exporting the finished result.
Getting started
Your editing workflow
Follow these steps in order when you are new to the editor, or jump directly to the section you need.
02
Navigate the canvas
Use zoom, pan, fit-to-screen, rotate, flip, straighten, guides, rulers, snapping, and other canvas controls to work precisely.
03
Work with layers
Create, rename, reorder, group, hide, lock, transform, blend, and adjust layer opacity. You can also use masks for more controlled edits.
04
Make selections
Use rectangular, elliptical, lasso, polygon, magic-wand, and quick-selection tools. Refine, feather, invert, combine, move, and resize selections.
05
Adjust color and tone
Use curves, HSL, color grading, adjustment layers, opacity, blend modes, clipping, and effect-strength controls for non-destructive editing workflows.
06
Retouch and paint
Use healing, clone stamp, paint, eraser, dodge, burn, blur, sharpen, and smudge tools for local edits and retouching.
07
Add text and shapes
Create editable text and shape layers, then adjust styling, fill, gradients, strokes, shadows, alignment, and transform settings.
08
Undo and recover
Use undo and redo while editing. The editor also includes local autosave and recovery support to help restore recent work when possible.
09
Save your project
Save a project in the SIHAG project format when you want to continue editing later with layers and project structure preserved.
10
Export your result
Export finished work as PNG, JPG, or WebP. Depending on the workflow, you can adjust output quality, scale, dimensions, selection area, and background behavior.
Useful habits
A few tips for safer, faster editing.
These habits can make long editing sessions easier and reduce the chance of losing important work.
01
Keep a separate copy of important original images before editing.
02
Use adjustment layers and masks when you want edits that are easier to change later.
03
Save a project file before making major structural changes.
04
For large images, lower preview quality if the editor feels slow, then export at the quality you need.
05
Use guides, snapping, rulers, and alignment tools for precise layouts.
06
If a browser tab closes unexpectedly, reopen the editor and check whether recovery data is available.
Project recovery
Browser recovery can help — but keep backups.
Recovery information may be stored locally in your browser. Clearing site data, browser storage, or changing devices can remove that information, so important projects should also be saved separately.
AI tools
AI-assisted features are still evolving.
The editor includes an AI-ready foundation, but not every planned AI capability is currently active. Available tools and processing behavior may change as these features are developed.
