# Regenerating images when something looks wrong

AI image generation isn't perfect — sometimes a face is off, a hand is mangled, the composition isn't quite right, or the character looks inconsistent with how they appeared on a different page. You can regenerate.

> **Tip:** if the page is mostly good and you only need to fix specific spots, use the **Fix Errors** annotation tool instead — circle each issue directly on the page and tell the AI what to change. The first 2 fixes per page are free. See [Fixing image errors with annotations](https://help.comicink.ai/en/article/fixing-image-errors-with-annotations-1fbr1a3/).

## Costs

| What | Regeneration cost |
|---|---|
| Page (full) | 50 credits |
| Single panel within a page | 50 credits |
| Front cover | 50 credits |
| Back cover | 50 credits |
| Page or cover translation | 50 credits |
| Character image | **10 credits** every generation |
| Character avatar | **10 credits** each (counted per avatar) |
| Asset image | **10 credits** every generation |
| Asset avatar | **10 credits** each |
| World image | **10 credits** every generation |
| Title image | **10 credits** every generation |

The pricing rule:

- **Pages, panels, and covers** cost the same 50 credits to regenerate as they did to create.
- **Characters, assets, worlds, and their avatars** cost a flat **10 credits** per generation — the initial image and every regeneration after it, no free quota.
- **Series title images** also cost **10 credits** every time.

There's no hard limit — you can keep regenerating for 10 credits each until it looks right.

## How to regenerate

In the issue editor:

- **Page**: click the page-level regenerate action. Generates a fresh page image from the same synopsis and characters, with whatever changes you've made to dialogue or panel layout.
- **Single panel**: click the panel, then the regenerate action. Generates a new image for that panel only — the rest of the page is unchanged.
- **Cover**: open the cover and click regenerate. Optionally provide a new cover prompt.
- **Character or asset**: open it and click regenerate. Costs 10 credits every time — the button shows the cost before you click.
- **Title image**: open the series title and click regenerate. Costs 10 credits every time.

## Tips for better regenerations

- **Be specific about what you want different**. If the character's face is off, regenerate. If the lighting is wrong, mention "harsh overhead light" or "soft golden hour" in the panel description.
- **Edit the synopsis or panel description first**. Regeneration uses the *current* text. Vague text → similar bad result.
- **Refresh character references**. If a character looks inconsistent, regenerate their avatar first (10 credits), then regenerate the page that referenced them — the page now picks up the cleaner avatar.
- **For composition issues, mention camera angle**. "Low angle shot from below," "extreme close-up on her eyes," "wide establishing shot" — these direct the AI clearly.

## When regenerations don't help

If a panel keeps coming out wrong even after several tries:

- The synopsis or panel description might be too abstract — try concrete physical details.
- The character description might be too vague for consistency — make it more specific.
- The art style might be a poor fit — check [choosing an art style](https://help.comicink.ai/en/article/choosing-an-art-style-2ctuxj/).

## Failed regeneration

Same as initial generation — if the regeneration fails (content moderation block, timeout, model error), you're refunded automatically and no credits are deducted.

## Old versions

When you regenerate, the previous image is replaced. Earlier versions aren't kept in the editor for comparison. If you wanted to keep an earlier version, save the image first (right-click → save image) before regenerating.
