How It Works
Start with a clean input image.
Lock what must not change (identity, background, framing).
Change only one target: outfit OR background OR object.
Prompt Recipes
Copy a recipe, replace the [brackets] with your specifics, and generate.
Recipe 1 - Outfit swap only
Replace clothing while keeping person and background perfectly intact.
CRITICAL: Keep the person and background EXACTLY the same. ONLY CHANGE: replace clothing with [new outfit]. Seamless edges, realistic folds, match original lighting.Recipe 2 - Remove an object
Remove something from the image and reconstruct the background naturally.
Keep everything unchanged. Remove the [object] and reconstruct the background naturally. No artifacts, clean texture.Recipe 3 - Background tweak (small change)
Make a minor adjustment to the background without affecting the subject.
Keep subject unchanged. ONLY CHANGE: adjust background to [small change], keep perspective and lighting consistent.Common Issues & Quick Fixes
Model changes multiple things at once
Fix: Rewrite prompt: "ONLY CHANGE: ... (one item only)"
Skin becomes plastic or unrealistic
Fix: Add "natural skin texture, no beauty retouch"
Edges look messy or have halos
Fix: Add "no halos, preserve fine hair strands, clean edges"
