Once it works on one image, you'll turn it into a batch so the same edit runs on many products. || Before you start, have one product image ready, or a product already saved in your Caimera Library. **Step 1: Create a workflow.** Go to **Workflows** in the left navigation and click **+ Create Workflow** in the top right. ![Navigate to the Workflows tool](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/8/b/f/c8bf533b39f9b00/image_66judt.png =600x283) ![Click + Create Workflow in the top right](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/8/b/f/c8bf533b39f9b00/image_xrtfo8.png =600x283) **Step 2: Name your workflow.** A new, empty canvas opens. Give your workflow a name your team will recognize, such as "Catalog shots". ![New empty canvas](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/8/b/f/c8bf533b39f9b00/image_13bzun3.png =600x282) **Step 3: Add an input.** Click **+ Add node** in the center, or right-click anywhere on the empty canvas. Choose **Image** under **Input**. ![Click + Add node and choose Image under Input](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/8/b/f/c8bf533b39f9b00/image_mespkl.png =600x284) For this guide, choose **Image**. You'll use **Batch Input** in Step 10. To compare all three input nodes, see [Add images and text: Image, Batch Input and Prompt nodes](https://help.caimera.ai/en/article/add-images-and-text-image-batch-input-and-prompt-nodes-in-workflows-tool-in-caimera-e3bcgl/). Add your product photo to the Image node using any of these options: * **Paste:** Copy and paste an image directly. * **Phone:** Upload an image from your phone. * **Library:** Select an image already saved in your Caimera Library. * **More:** Import images from Google Drive or other connected sources. ![Image node](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/8/b/f/c8bf533b39f9b00/image_m5qtfx.png =600x283) **Step 4: Add an Edit Image node.** Open the Add node menu again and choose **Edit Image** under **Generate & Edit**. You can also click the **+** on the right edge of the Image node (Add connected node) to add a node that's already connected. If you do this, skip Step 5. **Step 5: Connect the nodes.** Drag from the right edge of the Image node to the **Image** input on the left of the Edit Image node. A line appears between them. ![Connect the nodes](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/8/b/f/c8bf533b39f9b00/screenshot-2026-10-22-121055_hb55v7.png =600x285) **Step 6: Describe the change.** In the Edit Image prompt box, describe the edit you want. To point the prompt at a specific image, type **$** or **@** to see the inputs connected to this node. Pick one to add its tag to your prompt, so Caimera knows exactly which image you mean: your source product or a reference. This example also uses a second Image node holding a model photo, tagged @ref-image-1: *Change the model in @ref-image-1 to a blonde model with bouncy, blow-dried short hair and doe eyes. Keep the same pose, background and styling. Dress the model in the skirt from @image with a black top.* || Only connected nodes appear in the list. If an input is missing, check that its node is connected to the left side of the Edit Image node. ![Describe the change](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/8/b/f/c8bf533b39f9b00/image_1ddjtlz.png =600x283) **Step 7: Pick the engine, resolution and aspect ratio.** At the bottom of the node, choose: * **Engine:** Fast, Pro or Max * **Resolution:** 1K or 2K * **Aspect ratio:** **Auto** keeps the shape of your input image Not sure which engine to use? See [Choosing the right model](https://help.caimera.ai/en/article/guide-to-image-generation-and-edit-models-choosing-the-right-model-1makr4d/) for how the engines (also called models) differ and which one suits each kind of job. | Tip: Start with Fast at 1K while you test. Switch to a higher setting once you're happy with the result. ![Pick the engine, resolution and aspect ratio](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/8/b/f/c8bf533b39f9b00/image_izqjxm.png =600x312) **Step 8: Run the node.** The **Run** button shows how many credits the run will use. Click **Run**. When it finishes, the result appears on the node. ![Run the node](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/8/b/f/c8bf533b39f9b00/image_1nl25eo.png =600x283) **Step 9: Preview and download.** Click the result to open the preview. From here you can download it, add it back to the canvas, or open it in the Editor. ![Final image](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/8/b/f/c8bf533b39f9b00/image_1k2gvdp.png =600x283) ![Preview and download](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/8/b/f/c8bf533b39f9b00/image_1a50ang.png =600x284) **Step 10: Turn it into a batch.** To run the same edit on many products: 1. Add a **Batch Input** node, or convert your Image node into a Batch Input: click **⋯** on the Image node and choose **Convert to Batch node**. Converting keeps your existing connections. 2. Add up to 100 product images. 3. Click **Run All** at the top. **Image requirements:** * **Formats:** PNG, JPG/JPEG, WebP or SVG * **Size:** at least 512 × 512 px; 1500 px or larger recommended Batch Run stays grayed out until a Batch Input node is connected. ![Batch Input](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/8/b/f/c8bf533b39f9b00/image_14zoi19.png =600x291) ![Run All](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/8/b/f/c8bf533b39f9b00/image_1a08a3q.png =600x283) ###### FAQs 1. **Why is Batch Run grayed out?** Batch Run needs a Batch Input node. Add one and connect it, and Batch Run becomes available. 2. **Do I have to run the whole workflow every time?** No. Every node has its own **Run** button, so you can test one step at a time. Use **Run All** when you want every node to run. 3. **How much will it cost?** Each node's **Run** button shows its credit cost before you click it. See [Credits Usage](https://help.caimera.ai/en/article/credits-usage-1pshr4i/) for costs across Caimera's tools. **Related Articles:** 📘 [**Introduction to Workflows**](https://help.caimera.ai/en/article/workflows-183v2lx/)**:** What Workflows is and when to use it. 📝 [**Add images and text: Image, Batch Input and Prompt nodes**](https://help.caimera.ai/en/article/add-images-and-text-image-batch-input-and-prompt-nodes-in-workflows-tool-in-caimera-e3bcgl/)**:** Upload options and image tips for workflows.
