Overview
The Photo Studio is a built-in tool within RaveCapture that allows you to enhance and customize your user-generated content (UGC) before publishing it to widgets, sharing it on social media, or featuring it in campaigns. All edits are reflected across UGC Studio, moderation views, and live display widgets.
This feature is available to users on the Power Plan and above.
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Access the Photo Studio
Go to Review Management > UGC Studio
From either Product or Company Reviews or Experience Surveys, locate the UGC item you want to edit
Click the Edit icon (pencil) on any photo to open it in the Photo Studio
NOTE: Photo Studio only supports image files (JPG, PNG). It cannot be used to edit video content.
Step 2: Use the Editing Tools
Inside the Photo Studio, you can:
Rotate or crop your image using the icons directly below the photo
From the right-hand menu, you can apply the following tools:
Aspect Ratio – Choose preset dimensions optimized for Facebook or Instagram:
Facebook: Post (1.91:1), Square (1:1), Portrait (4:5)
Instagram: Landscape (1.91:1), Square (1:1), Portrait (4:5)
These resize the canvas, not crop the photo
Adjustments – Modify brightness, contrast, and basic visual properties
Stylize – Apply artistic effects to change the mood or tone of the image
Border – Add a border with adjustable color and thickness
Text – Add overlay text with control over font, color, and positioning
Watermark – Add a logo or text watermark (custom uploads supported)
Export – Download the image in your chosen format, even without saving changes
Step 3: Save Your Work
Click Save to apply edits permanently
The edited version will overwrite the original and appear across:
UGC Studio
Product or Experience Review moderation
Published review displays (after cache clears)
Important Notes
Edits are destructive: There is no undo or version history. Saving changes will overwrite the original file.
Only UGC content can be edited — merchant-uploaded photos are not supported in Photo Studio.
Video files are not compatible with Photo Studio.
It may take a short time for changes to appear in display widgets due to caching.
