The AI edits will be processed in the recommended order to ensure optimal quality and avoid unexpected results. Processing time varies depending on the complexity of your edits and your network connection speed.
Recommended order for AI operations
To achieve the best results and avoid needing to update AI edits, apply AI-powered features in this sequence:
- HDR

Following this order minimizes the need for reprocessing and helps maintain edit quality.
Important limitations
The Update AI edits feature requires specific conditions to work properly. It will not function in these scenarios:
- When there is no network or internet connection.
- When the device has low storage, the AI updated image can’t be downloaded.
- When the account is free, or the trial version has expired.
Note
When editing on an Android device, certain AI edits from other platforms are not supported and will be automatically removed. If you switch between devices, verify that all desired edits are supported on your current platform before updating.
