Monet Lumiere
Everything the app does, from pasting in your first API key to exporting a finished scene. If you are new, start with getting started. If you only read one page, make it regenerating an asset, because that is the part that makes Monet different from a plain image generator.
Start here
- Getting startedWhat Monet Lumiere needs to run, and the shortest path from install to a first image.
- Setting up API keysWhere to get a key for Google, OpenAI, fal.ai, OpenRouter and Anthropic, and how to add them to the app.
- Models and optionsThe built-in image generators, with their resolutions, aspect ratios and model-specific controls.
Making images
- GenerateTurn a written prompt into a finished image, with reference images and background jobs.
- PromptsSave a prompt with its model settings and reference images, then reuse it anywhere.
- ChatWork towards an image by conversation, and see why the orchestrator did what it did.
- FlowsChain generation and local background removal into a pipeline you can re-run.
Composing
- ScenesThe canvas, the three kinds of layer, groups, alignment guides and zoom.
- Layers and propertiesPosition, rotation, opacity, order, groups, visibility and lock, plus where a layer came from.
- Regenerating an assetRebuild one layer without disturbing the rest of the composition. The reason Monet exists.
Managing work
- LibraryEverything you have made, searchable and filterable, stored on your computer.
- ProjectsSeparate workspaces so unrelated jobs never share a grid.
- Drag and dropEvery place in the app where dragging something does something useful.
- ExportingScenes and single layers as PNG, individual images, and your prompt library as JSON.
Reference
- SettingsLanguage, providers and models, concurrency, and the MCP server.
- AutomationLet AI agents drive the app over MCP: list projects, generate images, run flows and read the library.
- Keyboard shortcutsUndo, nudge, zoom and submit — the keys the app listens for.
- TroubleshootingThe problems people actually hit, and how to get past them.
