## The AI tabs

| - | - |
| **Modify** | Prompt edits, **Instant Render**, **New view**, **Variate form and color** ([Modify](https://docs.vizcom.com/tools/modify.md)) |
| **Variation** | [Form](https://docs.vizcom.com/tools/form-variation.md) and [Color](https://docs.vizcom.com/color-variation.md) |
| **Make 3D** | [Make 3D](https://docs.vizcom.com/types-of-3-d-generations.md) settings |

## Examples

![The Studio Layers panel with the Render row selected above the Sketch, Layer 1 and Canvas rows. Next to it, the cropped jacket line sketch and, after an arrow, its render with a red floral print.](https://mintcdn.com/vizcom-c4034e9b/I-2hvc0QrsSa4kp4/images/examples/studio-layers-jacket.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=I-2hvc0QrsSa4kp4\&q=85\&s=60fb2987fea0a8dacbc8da96cf7f3c1f)

Sketch and render on separate layers. Prompt: "Render this jacket with floral patterns."

## Tips

* **Draw on a new layer.** Press <kbd>N</kbd> before you sketch over a render.
* **Select before you prompt,** so Modify changes only that area. See [Edit part of an image](https://docs.vizcom.com/guides/edit-part-of-an-image.md).
* **On a laptop,** choose **Studio menu** > **Preferences** > **Layout** > **Stacked** to keep the canvas wide.

## Good to know

* **Results belong to each image.** Another image shows a different list.
* **No Resolution menu:** output follows the canvas size, and a selection edit is priced at 1K. See [Modes and resolution](https://docs.vizcom.com/tools/modes-and-resolution.md#resolution-in-studio).
* **Workbench only:** **Change expression** and **Extract**.
