Enable advanced editing in print profiles
Turn on bitmap editing tools like filters and background removal for customer-uploaded images.
Updated April 28, 20265 min read
Advanced editing gives customers access to bitmap editing tools — filters and background removal — for images they upload in the product customizer. When enabled, customers can refine their uploads without leaving the customizer.
Before you start
- You have access to your WordPress admin.
- Your server has the Imagick PHP extension installed (required for image processing).
Advanced editing vs. applied filters
These are two different features in the File Uploads tab:
| Feature | Who controls it | When it applies |
|---|---|---|
| Advanced Editing | Customer chooses tools after uploading | On demand — customer decides whether to edit |
| Applied Filter | Merchant selects a filter in the profile | Automatically — every upload gets the filter applied |
Use Advanced Editing when you want customers to have creative control. Use Applied Filter when every upload should be processed the same way (for example, converting all photos to grayscale for engraving products).
Steps
Enable advanced editing
- Go to Chamevo > Print Profiles.
- Edit the profile you want to configure (Master or custom).
- Open the File Uploads tab.
- Expand the Transformations section.
- Enable Advanced Editing.
- Click Save Changes.
Customers now see editing tools after uploading an image. Available tools include image filters and background removal (powered by AI Tools).
