## Theory, aesthetics & inspiration

Editing by conversation treats an image as a draft open to revision: each instruction — "warm the light," "remove the figure on the left," "make it dusk" — refines the previous result while the system remembers the thread. This is the artist-as-director stance made literal, closer to giving notes on a set than to wielding a brush. The skill is seeing precisely and speaking precisely: naming what is wrong, isolating one change, judging the response, iterating. Vague requests yield vague drift; specific, sequenced direction compounds into intention. Authorship here lives not in any single keystroke but in the accumulated judgment carried across the exchange — the editing, not the rendering.
