Model Generation
Write prompts to generate images from scratch or edit existing images.
Model Generation: start from an image
Model Generation: start from text
Create a New Scene
Every time you create a new scene, you will be asked how would you like to start your generation. To move forward with your generation, select one of the following two methods:
Start from image: best for editing or refining and existing image. (Learn how to here)
Start from text: best for generating images from scratch. (Learn how to here)
How to create a new scene
Scene Panel on the left side of the screen: On the left upper side of the screen on the "Scene Panel", select the icon to a create a new scene.
From anywhere on the playground Right-click anywhere on your playground and choose + create new scene or use the keyboard shortcut +Shift+S on Mac and Control+Shift+S on Windows.
Every time you create a new playground Upon launching your new playground, you will be prompted to choose how you would like to begin your scene.
Start from an image
Select "start from image" to edit or refine an existing visual. This feature lets you use your image as a base and implement changes or add details through text prompts. The task is highly flexible, but the outcome relies on the clarity of your prompt and the image generation model used.

Text Prompt Tips
Be Direct, Not Polite: AI doesn't need formalities. Use clear, simple commands to get exactly what you want. Especially for languages such as Japanese, it is very important to keep the language direct and avoid formal writing.
Start with an action verb: Tell the AI exactly what action to take right at the beginning of the sentence. Use clear commands like "Replace the background with...", "Remove the...", or "Change the lighting to..." instead of just describing a scene.
Work from macro to micro: Building on your point about working in steps, always change the biggest elements first. Fix the background or the overall lighting in step one. Once that is locked in, use a second prompt to add or refine smaller details.
Literal over poetic: Since you want to avoid abstract language, remember that the AI cannot interpret feelings. Don't ask for a "luxurious vibe." Instead, ask for the physical things that create that vibe: "gold accents, soft studio lighting, and smooth marble."
Prompt the Edits, Not the Whole Image: When editing, you do not need to describe the entire original image all over again. Only describe the specific change you want to make to the targeted area.
Define the anchor points: Expanding on your point about being specific—if you are changing the floor but want to keep the wall, explicitly state the boundary: "Keep the back wall exactly as it is, change only the floor to white concrete."
Prompt Library (Save and Re-Use)
You may save your prompts to your library and use them later. Any prompts saved on the Library through this steps will be available for re-use later. You will be able to save prompts anytime, even after generation has been completed. With the Generation Settings Panel opened:
Select Library under the prompt text area.
On the right-side of the search bar, select the icon to save your current prompt.
Automatic Prompt from Image
You may create prompts by uploading an image and Beachside will automatically create a description. With the Generation Settings Panel opened:
This step will replace any prompt that is currently on the text area.
Select Library to re-use a previously saved prompt.
From the icon, upload an image and Beachside will create a description and place the text in the prompt field.
Optional: Use the Brush Tool
Use Brush to provide localized visual guidance to the AI model. Draw shapes, separate instructions by color, and clarify intent directly on the canvas:
Under the scene, select the Brush from the tools menu.
Draw shapes directly on the canvas to indicate areas of change.
