Flux ArtDistinguish a flattened old image from its design source
If a promotional visual created or organized in Flux Art survives only as a finished PNG or JPG, look for the actual source file before changing its price or date. If it cannot be found, consider Ideogram's Layerize Text. It reconstructs detected text as editable layers, but does not restore the complete original design. This page describes an external tool's workflow for editing text in old images, not a built-in Flux Art feature. It does not assume that fonts, product imagery or backgrounds remain unchanged.
Separate text changes, visual changes and new text
If readable text in the old image needs changing, text-layer reconstruction may be worth trying. If the product or scene must change too, make that a separate image-editing task. If a new image already has clean empty space, add a text box directly rather than trying to detect text that is not there. Do not assume that decorative lettering merged into an illustration can be restored in one pass. First write down the product visuals to preserve and the approved replacement copy, then choose a route. If the original task's scope is unknown, pause changes; the tool's detections do not replace confirmation by the campaign owner.
Keep the original and a complete text inventory
Save the original finished image separately. List every headline, product name, price, currency, date, small-print condition and corner label. Keep old prices in the comparison list too, so you can determine whether they have actually been replaced. Approved replacement copy must come from the current campaign information, not from recognizing old text and casually changing a few numbers. Record which product and region each text item belongs to. When several products appear side by side, updating one offer must not silently change the promise made for another product.
| Current situation | Appropriate approach | What to check before approval |
|---|---|---|
| Readable existing text | Assess text-layer reconstruction | Actual detection coverage and the reconstructed background |
| New text needed in empty space | Add a text box directly | Approved copy and available layout space |
| Product visuals must also change | Separate image-editing task | Actual product structure and the authorized scope |
| Main text has a layer but small print does not | Check missed and residual text | Whether old conditions remain in the image |
| A custom brand font is mandatory | Check the tool's font capabilities | Move to a suitable tool if the requirement cannot be met |
| The recipient needs a layered source | Confirm the actual delivery format first | Do not treat a flattened image as a layered file |
Run it on a copy and treat detections as candidates
Ideogram's official documentation describes Layerize Text as a beta feature. Detected text is reconstructed as text layers, and the background where that text appeared is reconstructed too. Keep a comparison copy before running it. Afterward, inspect what was extracted before immediately pasting in a new price. See the current feature description at https://ideogram.ai/features/text-layers/ . Even if the headline can now be selected in the editor, small, angled or low-contrast text may remain baked into the image. Undetected content is not the same as nonexistent content.
Resolve residual text before checking new layers
Match the detection list against the original text inventory item by item. Record three separate states: reconstructed as a text layer, still baked into the image, or unconfirmed. An old date temporarily covered by a new layer may reappear when text is moved or the image is resized. If cleanup is needed, work on an authorized copy and inspect the reconstructed texture, packaging edges and nearby marks. Do not damage the real product while removing promotional text. If important details were already unclear in the original, obtain clearer material or rebuild the design rather than guessing the original content from the reconstructed result.
Hypothetical repair: a new main price with old fine print
Suppose the large price on an old poster has become a text layer, but a small campaign end date at the bottom was missed. Replacing only the main price would leave two sets of campaign conditions in the same image. This is a proposed inspection scenario, not an actual test. During review, locate the missed footnote, compare it character by character with the approved copy, and confirm that the new conditions still belong to the correct product. If the new copy is longer, adjust the layout and inspect the whole image again. Do not shrink the type until it is unreadable merely to preserve the original shape. Both the product display area and necessary explanations must remain readable.
An available font is not necessarily the restored original
According to the current official description, Studio uses its own font library and does not support uploading custom brand fonts. The API's ability to accept candidate font files is a separate developer-integration capability. Do not describe them as the same operation. If a client requires a specific font and the current environment cannot provide it, leave the item pending and move to an appropriate layout tool. Do not claim a match merely because another font looks similar. After changing a font or weight, check numeral recognition, punctuation, spacing and line breaks again. Successful English display does not establish that every character needed in the target language is available.
Confirm whether the export is a finished image or the required source
Text remaining editable inside Studio does not mean this workflow can export a layered PSD or SVG. Under the current description, finished-image exports are available as JPEG, PNG or WEBP, subject to the plan and image settings. Before handoff, ask whether the recipient still needs to edit the copy. Do not name a flattened export as if it were an editable source file. Retain project records and approved copy, and state the actual format of the deliverable. If a layered source for another application is required, arrange the real reconstruction and handoff in advance rather than discovering the missing file on launch day.
Make the final review against product and campaign evidence
After downloading the finished image, check every character against the approved list. At the actual placement size, inspect small print, reconstructed backgrounds and product associations.
