AI has become one of the most talked about technologies of late, and especially the generative AI models that can generate content that mimics human creativity.
Chasys Photo has embraced this technology by providing integrations between itself and these technologies to provide a seamless way to enhance your creativity by leveraging the power of these new tools.
Chasys Photo does not treat Generative AI as an alternative to traditional image editing, rather, it treats AI as one of many tools that feed into your workflow to create the final output.
To maximize extensibility, Generative AI is implemented through Generative AI Plug-ins that integrate to the various Gen AI services available to you in a way that does not tie you to any specific service provider,
but rather allows you to get the same service via the same workflow from any provider of your choice
Where’s the Big AI Menu?
That’s the thing; there’s no big menu.
In Chasys Photo’s implementation, AI hides in plain side. Instead of being a separate tool with a separate menu or toolbox, AI is implemented in such a way that it blends in with the existing functionality.
Instead of having an “AI eraser tool”, we have Use AI (if possible) as an option when you are using the Context-Aware Eraser tool.
It will leverage the power of AI if it can, otherwise, it will fall back to the Context-Aware engine.
If you want to issue editing instructions to an AI engine via an AI text prompt, there is no big AI menu that you go to;
rather, you go to the normal “Edit” menu for the layer and you select “Edit using AI”, write your instructions and continue:
If you want to add an AI generated background to your image or you’d like to add an element to the image that is AI -generated, the same logic applies – instead of a big AI menu, you just add a new layer as you would normally do, then, instead of choosing a normal layer or a text layer, you choose a generative-AI layer:
As the layer is being created, you will be presented with a dialog box where you can enter your AI prompt to guide the layer creation. You may also be presented with a dialog box where you can choose the AI model to use by way of selecting the Generative AI plug-in associated with that model. In the example shown below, we have the option of executing our prompt via Gemini 2.5 (Nano Banana), FLUX.1 or GPT-5 based on our personal preferences:
Again, the idea here is that AI should not be disruptive to your workflow nor should it be a different workflow, but rather, it should be a seamless part of the normal flow that you use.
Running AI engines requires a lot of energy and resources and for this reason, most AI providers will charge money for use of their AI models. This is normally billed via an API key. Although you may have obtained your copy of Chasys Photo for free, you are expected to create your own API keys and to meet your own costs for doing so if the provider you are using chooses to bill you.
