Basic Editor Tutorial
Welcome to ReadKidz!
ReadKidz Picture Editor has basic editing functions. If you master the tools, you can also create a wonderful children's picture book! So how to use the editor to create a wonderful children's picture book?
Please note: If you want to make a physical book, make sure to enable bleed lines and don't let the text content extend beyond those lines!
Image generation
Check whether the number of slide pages on the left reaches the number of pages specified by the subtitle!
Check whether there are corresponding portraits for the characters that appear in the subtitles!
Click on "AI images" in the upper right corner of the subtitle on the canvas page to enter the prompt editing page!
Review whether the content of the prompt words corresponds to the story subtitles, and whether the number of characters described in the prompt words corresponds to the character portraits!
Click "My Prompt", and you can also write your own prompt words!
After the review is completed, click "Generate" to generate the picture of the scene.

The generated images will be displayed on the right side of the canvas. Users can select one of them. If no image is selected, the first image will be selected by default! (Note: Due to platform optimization and upgrading, the 4-in-1 images in your historical image generation data that have not been retrieved cannot be queried!)
