# Generate & Remix

## Generate

The **Generate** function in **Canvas** works just like it does in the standard website UI. You provide a detailed description of what you want to see, adjust some options, and the AI generates four images based on your input.

## Remix

The **Remix** function in **Canvas** is similar to the standard Remix but offers more flexibility. You can select a specific portion of an image or composition using the generation window and remix just that area.

#### Example

Suppose you want to create a close-up of a particular image, such as the face of a thinking man.

* Click the **Select** tool on the left-side panel.
* Use the generation window to adjust the bounding box around the part of the image you want to remix. You can change the size and aspect ratio.

* Enter a prompt that describes the desired result and adjust the options to your liking. Modify the Image Weight slider as needed.

* Click **Remix**. Four images will be generated on the canvas, placed below the existing images.
