Change one label in an infographic image: an Ideogram 4.5 edit

Fix one word or number in a finished infographic PNG with a single edit call on Sume. The prompt names the label, its position and what stays put.

To change one label in a finished infographic, send the PNG as the first reference and name the label by its current text, its place in the layout, and the new text. Everything else gets one sentence: "keep all other text, icons, numbers and colors identical." One call, one billed image if it completes.

Morphic's Ideogram 4.5 page (a partner, not the vendor; read 2026-10-05) says the model copies unchanged pixels from the source and lists a 25 MB maximum file and a 1:6 to 6:1 aspect range. Sume's docs give the edit rule on its side: no aspect_ratio means the source shape is kept. Infographics are often very tall, so check your image against both.

The prompt

Locate the label three ways: by its words, by its position, and by what it sits next to.

Change the label under the second bar-chart column from "Q2 Revenue"
to "Q2 Net Revenue". Keep every other label, number, icon, color
and the layout identical.

Tall images and small text

Infographics are often very tall and full of small type. Two practical issues follow. First, the smaller a label is in the image, the harder it is for any model to redraw it exactly, so a higher tier can matter more here than for a poster. Second, a long image may be larger than you expect, so check its size against your host. Sume needs a public HTTPS URL for the reference, and Sume rejects other kinds before submission.

If the label you want to change is very small, consider cropping the region, editing the crop, and pasting it back in a design tool. That keeps the rest of the infographic byte-identical, which a whole-image edit cannot guarantee.

If the infographic came from a data source, change the data and regenerate. An image edit is the right tool when the original file is gone, when you only have the exported PNG, or when the change is one label in a design you do not want to rebuild. It is the wrong tool when a number must be exact and the chart geometry depends on it.

Why position words help

An infographic often repeats words: three "Total" labels, four "%" signs. Without a position the model has to guess which one you mean. Use words a person would use: "top-left header", "third row", "under the pie chart". If two labels are identical, change one at a time and name each.

Check list after the edit

  • Read every number again. A chart label is cheap to fix; a wrong digit is not.
  • Compare bar heights and pie angles against the original. An edit model can nudge a drawn shape.
  • Check the footnotes and the source line: small type is where changes sneak in.
  • If data changes, regenerate the chart from your data. Use the model for wording only.

Cost and tier

The Image API docs list Fal list prices of $0.03, $0.06 and $0.22 per image for low, medium and high, and say Sume's endpoint pricing lines already include its margin. Small text benefits from a higher tier; try low once to check the wording, then run the keeper at medium or high. A completed edit is billed even if a word is wrong, so check the draft before you spend on the final.
