QuestStudio | FLUX Kontext Image Editing: Know When to Restart from the Original Original working sheet | September 13, 2026 https://queststudio.io/blog/flux-kontext-image-editing-guide EDIT BRANCH DECISION SHEET Worked graph: bike-source -> navy-option bike-source -> cream-option approved-navy-option -> navy-softer-light bike-source -> alternative-courtyard BRANCH RECORD (repeat for each output) Filename / parent filename: Exact model and settings: Requested change: Previously approved changes that must carry forward: Protected original details: Immediate-parent comparison: Original-source comparison: Front wheel / frame joint / basket handle / saddle / tire contact: Approval: ACCEPTED / REJECTED / UNCERTAIN Reason and reviewer: NEXT STEP Alternative direction? Start from the original. Approved cumulative change? Start from the accepted checkpoint. Rejected detail already in parent? Roll back before continuing. Exact local retouch? Consider a conventional image editor. Contradictory brief? Separate redesign from preservation. HANDOFF Accepted master / delivery crop / source / approved differences: Do not overwrite the approved parent. A recorded seed is not a guarantee of unchanged pixels across prompts, models, or providers. Use this as a planning and review record. Examples are illustrative, not reported benchmark results. Save rejected attempts and limitations too.
