How to Get Great Results

  1. Step 1

    Prepare solid references

    Gather 2–3 clear reference images covering face, outfit, and colors. Use them consistently across edits to lock identity.

  2. Step 2

    Lock pose/layout with ControlNet

    Provide a pose/depth map to stabilize framing; then describe the specific change (gear, fabric, background).

  3. Step 3

    Anchor what to keep

    Write scoped prompts like 'add gold trim to the cloak; keep face, palette, and lighting the same'.

  4. Step 4

    Edit in focused passes

    Change one element at a time—outfit, lighting, or background—to prevent drift and maintain consistency.

Example Prompts

Example 1

Use the provided references; swap the cloak to deep green velvet with subtle sheen; keep face, pose, and lighting identical

Example 2

Maintain the same armor and palette; replace background with neutral studio gray gradient

Example 3

Add engraved silver filigree to pauldron; preserve skin detail and hair; keep composition intact

Example 4

Warm the overall grade slightly and add soft rim light; maintain wardrobe colors and contrast

Example 5

Change belt hardware from brass to blackened steel; do not alter facial features or hair
