Edit images outside Preview
Preview lets you send an image to Photoshop, make your edits there, and bring the result back into the canvas. This workflow is for image editing and refinement, not video generation.When to use Photoshop editing
Use Photoshop when:- You need precise manual image changes
- You want to clean up or composite a frame before reusing it
- You want to return an edited image to the canvas for more generation
Return the edited image to the canvas
After you finish editing in Photoshop, the result comes back directly into Preview and behaves like any other canvas image.- Use it as a reference
- Save it to the library
- Add it to a shot
- Continue generating from it
The original export included a missing screenshot placeholder for the returned Photoshop image, so this page documents the workflow without that final screenshot.
