Using the Object Selection Tool in Canvas

Select elements of your image inside Layer, make edits, and create new variations.

This support article applies to a previous version of Layer. If you're using the newest version of Layer, some features and navigation described here may look different.


The Object Selection Tool allows you to click and select individual assets within your canvas for targeted AI modifications. This is a great way to isolate objects and regenerate or enhance them while keeping the rest of your artwork untouched.

How to Use the Object Selection Tool

Select the Object Selection icon in the Canvas toolbar. Left-click on any asset to select it. To select multiple objects, hold Shift and Left Click on additional elements. Choose a style, write your prompt, adjust similarity, and click Forge in Selected Area to generate variations. Once done, click Accept to apply to the same layer, or use the dropdown to Add to New Layer.
