Editing Scraped posts?

is there a tool or option in one of the ig automation bots where if I scrape a slide post I can remove a photo out of the slides say slide 2 or 3 I want to remove and put in a different picture, is there a way I can do this in jarvee or another bot

Im currently using follow planner and there seems to be no option to do so and have been doing it manually by creating the posts on a dummy account and just scraping from that for the finished product to post on my accounts automated there

or even a faster method than doing it manually and scraping off an account I upload the posts too?

Why do you want to do this?

What are the potential benefits?

for me at least I am planning on setting up multiple meme accounts that have slide posts and to shout myself or other pages out in the slides and in the caption put follow @xuser he's following back the next 100 the problem is that the posts I scrape already have someone else picture and someone else's @ in the caption its easy to change out captions but removal of previous picture and inserting my target picture in as far as I know has to be done manually and was looking to see if there was a faster way to do this other than screenshooting/downloading and posting manually with the picture I want and just leaving out the other picture that was previously in its place and then posting it off a dummy account then scraping onto the accounts I want the posts and setting up automation from there

(edit)

Potential benefits would be ease of curating content as well as changing out content in the future for promotions

That's a good idea actually for when using scraped album content (or reposting albums which is the same thing really)

the problem is that the posts I scrape already have someone else picture

as you say, easy to remove the caption, but how the program know how to programatically remove the right image?

Easy to randomly remove an image
Easy to always remove 2nd image etc

But to remove a specific image based on the image iteself? all but impossible

Unless there is something in the media JSON properties as sent by ISG that can be used to know which image to remove, that might work.

If you have an example ISG url, post it up, or send it via DM and I can take a look

im fine with just being able to remove the second image or even picking a certain image to remove manually that will shave 90% of the time of what im doing currently off (typically for the accounts I scrape to do this its almost always the 3rd or 4th image) even then id still be okay with having to pick which image in the album to remove manually and inserting a different one in its place inside of a bot/software. but doing the whole scrape>post>screenshot/download>pick image>post>caption & tagging manually then going back and scraping off the dummy account is annoying especially with large jobs

If you want to do it manually, then I imagine if a scrape routine would download album posts to a folder within your specified save_directory, then you just go through the folders, delete the image you don't want, add your custom image.
Then you would just need to specify the save_folder as your source for uploading images, which will post albums based on the sub folder structure.

Does something like that work for you.

As well, it is still doable to replace the 2/3/4 image from a list with a specified image, but you would have to accept sometimes the wrong image is removed. which may / may not be a big deal...

that would probably take way less time than what im doing now

I can deal with this as well since almost 90% of the accounts I scrape from use the 3rd image in the album as the shoutout image
