Image generation and editing
From a first idea to a considered final image
Work across interior photography, food imagery, illustrated posters, and reference-led compositions.
Focused editing
Refine the same scene, one change at a time
Use a chosen image as the next reference and describe the detail to change. Explore a new color or material while keeping the framing, furniture, and surrounding details consistent.
- Name the object or surface you want to change.
- Describe the shapes, lighting, and details to preserve.
- Review each result before continuing to the next edit.

After
Natural texture and light
Make the small details feel tangible
Shape a scene around the behavior of its materials. Describe the fruit skin, layered pastry, condensation, and light through glass so each surface has its own character.
- Specify materials and surface finishes separately.
- Set the light direction and shadow softness.
- Inspect edges, reflections, and contact shadows.
Text and layout
Give your image words that belong there
Set exact wording, hierarchy, and placement in your prompt. Develop an illustrated poster with a clear headline and supporting copy, then inspect the lettering and spacing before using it.
- Put the exact image text in quotation marks.
- Give the headline and supporting copy different sizes.
- Leave clear space around the subject and text.
Multiple image references
Bring separate references into one scene
Give each reference a role. Use one image for a recognizable object and another for the setting, then describe how the two should meet through scale, perspective, and light.
- Add up to 10 JPEG, PNG, or WebP references.
- Assign the subject, setting, or visual direction to each image.
- Review proportions, object identity, and scene lighting.
