# Galleries

> Generate AI images from prompts and refine them with region-based editing, organized in galleries.

Galleries are collections of AI-generated images. Create a gallery, describe the image you want, and Merciv generates it for you. Images are grouped by the prompt that produced them, and a built-in editor lets you select part of an image and regenerate just that region.

<Note>
  Galleries and image generation are available on select plans. Contact your Merciv representative if you don't see the **New Gallery** option.
</Note>

## Create a gallery

Click **New** at the top of the app and choose **New Gallery**. Merciv creates an "Untitled Gallery" and opens it. If you have a project open, the gallery is created inside that project.

Rename the gallery by clicking its name on the page; a "Saved" indicator confirms the update. You can also find galleries later with the **Galleries** filter on Home and in Recents.

## Generate images

<Steps>
  <Step title="Describe your image">
    Type a prompt in the composer at the bottom of the gallery ("Describe your image...") and press Enter or the send arrow.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Optionally shape the output">
    Next to the composer, you can attach reference images, pick colors, choose a style, and adjust settings such as image size. Once you've set parameters, **Save** and **Clear** buttons appear so you can store them as a reusable template.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wait a moment">
    Each generation produces two images. Placeholder tiles appear while generation runs in the background, and finished images replace them automatically. No refresh needed.
  </Step>
</Steps>

You can queue more generations while one is running. Images are grouped in the gallery under the prompt that generated them, and clicking any image opens a full-size viewer with navigation between images.

<Tip>
  If placeholder tiles seem stuck, refresh the page. The gallery reloads its latest images on open.
</Tip>

## Edit images

The gallery header has a **Create / Edit** toggle. Switch to **Edit** to refine an existing image instead of generating a new one:

1. Select the image you want to edit. It opens on a mask canvas; in galleries with multiple images, use the thumbnail sidebar or arrow keys to switch between them.
2. Paint over the region you want to change using the **erase** and **restore** brushes. Adjust the brush size as needed, and use Cmd/Ctrl+Z to undo.
3. Describe the change in the composer ("Describe the changes you want to make...") and submit. Merciv regenerates only the masked region, leaving the rest of the image untouched.

If the gallery has no images yet, Edit mode shows "No Images to Edit — Generate some images first to start editing."

## Manage galleries

From the Home and Recents lists, galleries support **Rename**, **Move to project**, and **Delete**. Galleries created inside a project stay organized within that project — see [Projects](/projects/overview).

Galleries don't have sharing controls; a gallery is accessible to its creator. If you open a gallery you don't have access to, you'll see "You don't have access to this gallery" and be returned home.
