Caimera supports bulk processing. You can upload and convert up to 100 images simultaneously in a single batch. 2. **Why does my edited image look less detailed than the original?** To keep the interface fast and responsive while you design, all intermediate edits are rendered at a temporary 1K resolution. To get your high-fidelity details back, simply use the **Upscale** tool on your final layer before exporting. 3. **Will editing a generated image cost me extra credits?** Edits on the Fast 1K model are unlimited on the Starter and Pro plans. On Free and Mini, and for higher-resolution or Pro/Max edits, edits are charged at the rates in [Credits Usage](https://help.caimera.ai/en/article/credits-usage-1pshr4i/). **Take your Image generations further:** ✏️ [Sketch-to-Image Tool](https://help.caimera.ai/en/article/how-to-use-the-sketch-to-image-tool-1gmnguv/): Turn your raw design concepts and line art into hyper-realistic garment mockups. 📝[Upload & Edit Tool](https://help.caimera.ai/en/article/upload-edit-your-images-on-caimera-cld7tn/): Caimera’s **Upload & Edit** tool lets you bring in **any image you have the rights to use** and make precise edits using Caimera’s tools. 🧩 [How to use the Draw & Edit Tool](https://help.caimera.ai/en/article/how-to-edit-images-using-the-draw-and-edit-tool-in-caimera-1fiuxqw/): Explore creative ways to enhance your images with step-by-step tutorial. 🗂️ [How to Organize, Save, and Delete Image Layers in Caimera](https://help.caimera.ai/en/article/how-to-save-and-delete-images-and-layers-on-caimera-frj3k3/): Manage your workflow efficiently by organizing and controlling your generated image layers.
