What is said

★ — how much it matters to the source.

  • ★★★ Higgsfield Edit, the AI image editor built into the platform, now has nine tools under Edit Image; three just launched: Layer Decomposition, Edit Text and Remove Background.
  • ★★ Layer Decomposition splits a flat image (a product shot, a poster, a scene) into background, subject and other elements, each its own editable layer; resolution 1K, 1.5K or 2K, Standard or Fast mode, 5 layers by default.
  • ★★ Edit Text changes text baked into an image (a price, a headline, a translated label): Detect text lists every line, any line can be rewritten, and the new text is set in matching font, colour and placement.
  • ★★ Remove Background strips the background from an image and drops the result into the project instead of a separate download, so the subject can go into a new scene without a re-upload.
  • ★★ To split an image into layers: open the image asset, choose Layer Decomposition from Edit Image, set resolution, mode and layer count, then generate; each layer appears as its own thumbnail.
  • ★★ To change text in an image: open the image asset, choose Edit text from Edit Image, run Detect text, change any line to the new wording, then generate.
  • ★ To remove a background: open the image asset, choose Remove background from Edit Image and generate; the result drops straight into the project.
  • ★★★ Layer Decomposition at 2K with 8 separate layers costs 24 credits ($1.20). · credit
  • ★★ Higgsfield also says separating layers with Layer Decomposition costs 15 credits. · credit
  • ★★★ Edit Text, text detection plus editing, costs 3.5 credits ($0.18); detection alone costs 0.5 credits. · credit
  • ★★★ Remove Background, subject detection plus removal, costs 1 credit ($0.05). · credit
  • ★★ Expand & Crop in Higgsfield Edit extends or crops a canvas, filling the new space with AI-generated content.
  • ★★ Higgsfield Upscale raises photo and video quality from 2x up to 16x, covering 1080p through 8K across multiple engines. · Higgsfield Upscale, upscaling
  • ★ Color Grading in Higgsfield Edit applies colour grading directly to an image. · Color grading
  • ★★ Enhancer, also called AI Skin Enhancer, does pro-level portrait retouching by rebuilding facial geometry, in three enhancement modes.
  • ★★ Relight in Higgsfield Edit repositions light on an existing image with director-style, 3D-aware control.
  • ★★ Higgsfield Angles changes the camera perspective of an image, with a full 360-degree rotation, 12 auto-views and lighting control.
  • ★ A general prompt bar at the bottom of Higgsfield Edit handles custom edits outside the nine listed tools.
