Summary: Fix one image by hand right on the canvas — remove a color with the magic wand, recolor areas, erase or paint — without opening Photoshop. Every edit is kept when you download.

Sometimes one image just needs a quick touch-up. The canvas toolbar has simple manual tools so you don't have to open Photoshop.

## The tools

| Tool | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Magic Wand** | Click a color and it's removed. Works with any color, not just green. Turn **Contiguous** on to remove only the connected area you clicked. |
| **Color Wand** | Click an area to recolor it with the color you pick (for example, click-click-click to turn parts red). |
| **Eraser** | Rub out parts of the image — e.g. keep the character and erase the text. |
| **Paint** | Paint on the image with a brush. |
| **Move** | Pan around the canvas. Hold **Spacebar** to switch to Move temporarily. |
| **Undo / Redo** | Step back and forward through your manual edits. |
| **Reset to Original** | Throws away the manual edits on this image. |

## Good to know

- **Every manual edit is remembered** when you download — you won't lose your touch-ups.
- Manual edits apply to **the image you're on**, not the whole batch. For the whole batch, use pipeline tools like Color Removal V2.
- These are for **quick fixes**. Don't hand-edit a hundred images this way — at some point your browser can run out of memory.
- Zoom with your mouse wheel to work on small details.
