# Can I ask for several changes in one edit?

Yes, but two or three related changes work better than a long list, because each extra change is another chance for the model to miss one. For important images, make one change, check it, then make the next.

Google recommends splitting complex requests into steps for its image models.

Group changes that belong together, such as "warmer light and longer shadows", and separate unrelated ones, such as a new background and a different shirt.

Check each listed change after the edit. A missed instruction is easier to spot when there are fewer of them.

In ImageQuarry each step becomes its own version, so you can go back to the point before a change that did not work.
