Step 1:Add & Remove Elements
Provide the picture and describe the change. The model keeps the original style, light and perspective.
1. Add a Knitted Wizard Hat
Prompt:Using the provided image of my cat, please add a small, knitted wizard hat on its head. Make it look like it's sitting comfortably and matches the soft lighting of the photo.
Step 2:Local Repaint (Semantic Mask)
Redefine only one object while keeping everything else pixel-perfect.
2. Change Sofa Only
Prompt:Using the provided image of a living room, change only the blue sofa to be a vintage, brown leather chesterfield sofa. Keep the rest of the room, including the pillows on the sofa and the lighting, unchanged.
Step 3:Style Transfer
Keep the composition, swap the artistic style.
3. Van-Gogh City Night
Prompt:Transform the provided photograph of a modern city street at night into the artistic style of Vincent van Gogh's 'Starry Night'. Preserve the original composition of buildings and cars, but render all elements with swirling, impasto brushstrokes and a dramatic palette of deep blues and bright yellows.
Step 4:Advanced Composite (Multi-Image)
Blend elements from several photos into one brand-new scene—perfect for product mock-ups or creative collages.
4. E-Commerce Fashion Photo
Prompt:Create a professional e-commerce fashion photo. Take the blue floral dress from the first image and let the woman from the second image wear it. Generate a realistic, full-body shot of the woman wearing the dress, with the lighting and shadows adjusted to match the outdoor environment.
Step 5:High-Fidelity Detail Preservation
Lock faces, logos or any critical details while you edit everything else.
5. Logo on T-Shirt, Face Unchanged
Prompt:Take the first image of the woman with brown hair, blue eyes, and a neutral expression. Add the logo from the second image onto her black t-shirt. Ensure the woman's face and features remain completely unchanged. The logo should look like it's naturally printed on the fabric, following the folds of the shirt.
Pro Best Practices
- Be hyper-specific: “Elven plate armour engraved with silver-leaf motifs, high collar, pauldrons shaped like falcon wings” beats “fantasy armour”.
- State the intent: “Logo for a high-end minimalist skincare brand” gives better context than just “logo”.
- Iterate: “Great, but warmer light” or “same scene, sterner expression” keeps improving.
- Step-by-step: Break busy scenes into ordered instructions.
- Semantic negative prompts: Say “an empty desert highway with no traffic” instead of “no cars”.
- Camera language: Use wide-angle shot, macro shot, low-angle perspective, etc.
