Editing a single photo
Written By Nick

Every photo in an album has metadata you can fine-tune — its description, tags, moment, filename, and orientation. Editing happens inside the lightbox, one photo at a time.
How to edit a photo
In the photo grid, click the photo you want to edit. The lightbox opens.
Click Edit. The lightbox switches into edit mode.
Update any of the fields below.
Click Save. The lightbox returns to read view with your changes applied.

What you can edit
Rotate — use the rotate-left and rotate-right icons in the top-left to reorient the photo. Rotation persists after Save.
Description — edit the text directly, or click Generate New Description to have the AI write a new one. Regenerating overwrites whatever's in the field.
Tags — type a tag and press Enter to add it. Click the × on any chip to remove it.
Moment — pick from the Moment dropdown. Options are scoped to the album's event type, and "Not Set" is available if the photo doesn't fit any of them.
Filename — edit the name as it appears in your album.
A few things worth knowing
Edits don't change posts that already exist. If Social Valet has already generated posts using this photo, those captions and selections stay as-is. Your edits only affect future generations.
Generate New Description regenerates description only — your tags and moment stay as-is.
Rotating doesn't retrigger AI analysis. The description, tags, and moment from the original analysis still apply.
To favorite a photo or set it as the album cover, use the star icon and 3-dot menu on the photo's grid hover — those actions don't live inside edit mode.
If you change your mind
Click Cancel Edit to discard everything and return to read view. There's no confirmation prompt, so make sure you actually want to throw out your changes before clicking it.
