Question regarding ephemeral replies after defer

Hey, I'm trying to make a simple command that let's me stretch an attachment image and reply with the stretched image, which works perfectly. But the issues are the ephemeral replies. I want the error replies to be ephemeral and the actual result reply to be a normal reply, non ephemeral. The error replies are not ephemeral even when setting ephemeral: true. How would I be able to achieve ephemeral replies for the errors only and keep the result non ephemeral? 🙏 [email protected]

    async execute(interaction, client) {
        interaction.deferReply();

        const imageURL = interaction.options.getAttachment('image').proxyURL;
        const multiplier = interaction.options.getNumber('multiplier');

        if (!isPngOrJpg(imageURL)) {
            return interaction.editReply({ // sends as non ephemeral
                embeds: [easyEmbed("#ff0000", "Attachment is not a png/jpg image")],
                ephemeral: true
            });
        }

        const image = await loadImage(imageURL);
        let canvas;

        try {
            canvas = createCanvas(image.width * multiplier, image.height)
        } catch {
            return interaction.editReply({ // sends as non ephemeral
                embeds: [easyEmbed("#ff0000", "Image width is too long")],
                ephemeral: true
            })
        }

        const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');

        ctx.drawImage(image, 0, 0, image.width * multiplier, image.height);

        const buffer = canvas.toBuffer();
        const attachment = new AttachmentBuilder(buffer, {
            name: 'mw-stretch.png'
        });

        interaction.editReply({ // result stays non ephemeral
            files: [attachment]
        });
    },
