An opt-out, and what it does not retract
An opt-out changes what happens next. It does not retract permission already given over material already processed, which is why the date a setting was changed is part of the record it creates. As of 2026-09-22.
| Question | What the phrase answers |
|---|---|
| Material uploaded afterwards | Covered by the new setting |
| Material already processed | Usually not retracted |
| A perpetual licence already granted | Not withdrawn by a setting |
| The date of the change | The fact that makes either reading checkable |
Inclusion rule. Phrases that appear in more than one vendor's permissions documents and that change what a sentence means. A phrase used by a single vendor in a single clause is described on that vendor's own page instead. Order. Reading order: where you meet it, then what it settles, then what it does not.
1A switch is a permission boundary in time
Turning something off divides an account's history into two periods with different terms. Nothing in the product shows where the line is, which makes the date the only artefact that can locate it.
That is why a production keeping careful records notes setting changes alongside exports. It costs one line and it answers a question that is otherwise unanswerable.
2Product settings and contract terms are different instruments
A toggle inside an interface is a product feature. Whether it changes a contractual position depends on whether the terms refer to it, and often they do not.
Where a document ties a substantive position to a setting, the setting becomes part of the licence and has to be recorded like one. Where it does not, the toggle may be doing less than a reader assumes.
3What to check when an opt-out is offered
Whether it is retrospective, whether it applies per account or per project, and whether it survives a plan change. Each of those has been answered differently by different suppliers.
None of them is visible from the switch itself, which is the general lesson: a control in a product is not a statement about rights until a document says it is.
4What the output is for
Alongside the terms behind “Opt-out”, SceneMixer's guides describe the work itself this way:
AI Edit Image on a step-2 card keeps the same character and applies a short change you describe — navy blue shirt, short curly hair, smiling — then Apply Edit.

The product image is always redrawn from your original photo so it stays your product.

5Where the sourced wording is
A word page, not an entry in the register: nothing above is attributed to any vendor and nothing above is legal advice. The quoted clauses are on commercial use, the column this phrase turns up in is input restriction, and the reading rules are on the reading page. Next words: Public generation, Stock library, Enterprise licence.
