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.
