What is Design View?

Design View is an integrated feature that allows for complex, multi-step visual workflows. Instead of starting from scratch with every new prompt, you can make precise edits to existing images, ensuring consistency and saving valuable time. Whether you’re designing a poster, creating a mood board, or refining a product shot, Design View acts as your creative partner, understanding your intent from start to finish. It is powered by Google’s advanced Nano Banana Pro image generation model, ensuring high-quality, photorealistic results. How to Use Design View Using Design View is an intuitive process that combines simple prompts with powerful editing tools.

Here’s how you can get started:

Step 1: Generate Your Initial Concept Begin by giving Neuro a simple prompt to generate your base image.
A photorealistic interior shot of a bright, airy living room in a Japandi style. The room has light oak wood floors, a large window with soft natural light, and a low-profile beige sofa.

Step 2: Refine with the Mark Tool Once you have your initial image, you can use it to make precise edits. Instead of writing a new prompt and hoping for the best, you can select specific elements and provide instructions for how to change them.
  1. Click the [Mark] tool in the Design View interface. 2. Select the element you want to modify (e.g., a sofa, a plant, a window). 3. Provide a clear and concise instruction for the change.
For example: * Select the sofa:Change this to a muted sage green.* Select the plant:Change this to a wildflower arrangement.* Select the window:Change the leaves to autumn foliage.
  1. Reference Images: You can add elements to your design by providing a reference image. For example, you can add a specific lamp to a room by uploading an image of it.

Step 3: Edit Text Elements If your design includes text, such as on a poster or in an infographic, you can easily edit it without disturbing the rest of the image. Click on**“edit text”**and Neuro will extract all text elements, allowing you to make changes with ease.

Mobile Editing Design View is web version also available and later on the Neuro mobile app, so you can continue your work on the go. Press and Hold to Mark: Simply press and hold on any area of an image to create a selection. Voice or Text Input: Once an area is marked, you can either type your changes or use your voice to record instructions.
Batch Your Edits: Mark multiple areas on an image, add an instruction for each, and send them all to be processed in a single batch.
What You Need to Know Integrated Workflow: Design View is not a standalone tool; it is an integrated capability of the Neuro agent. This allows for a seamless transition between generating ideas, refining visuals, and incorporating them into larger projects. Precision and Control: The Mark Tool gives you a level of control that is not possible with traditional prompting. You can change specific elements of an image without affecting the overall composition, lighting, or style. Tips for Better Results
TipDescription
Be Specific with InstructionsWhen using the Mark Tool, provide clear and direct instructions. For example, instead of saying “make this better,” say “change the color to a deep blue.”
Use High-Quality Reference ImagesWhen adding elements from a reference image, use a high-quality image with a clear subject for the best results.
Start with a Good Base ImageThe better your initial image, the easier it will be to refine. Spend some time crafting a good initial prompt to get a strong starting point.
Iterate and RefineDon’t be afraid to make multiple small changes to get your image just right. The power of Design View is in its iterative workflow.
