Useful to borrow

Keep the image and its instruction visible together. Distinguish a local edit, a global style change, a format adaptation, and a design-tool handoff.

Do not infer

The chocolate imagery, campaign identity, and generated designs are research material, not all-hands assets. The film does not establish equivalent your product image-editing behavior.
