What should I prepare before starting?

Prepare a clear source image that you have permission to use. Add references where needed and describe the exact changes, along with identities, positions, and details to preserve.

Will the original people remain unchanged?

The model may redraw parts of the image. Compare the entire group and background with the original, and use a conventional compositing workflow if exact preservation is required.

Does generation use credits?

Generation uses credits. Check the selected model’s price and your plan before generating. Regenerating a variation also uses credits; review the first result before making more.

Shape the creative brief

Placement

Choose a position with enough space and a believable point of contact.

Identity and scale

Specify which reference supplies the person and how their height compares with the group.

Shared light

Match shadow direction, color temperature, and camera perspective.

Two prompts to start with

Use these written examples as a starting point. Adapt the subject and references to your project; generated results will vary.

First direction

Add the adult from my second reference into the open space at the right of my group photo. Match the existing scale, eye level, soft outdoor lighting, and ground shadows. Preserve the other people.

Another approach

Place the person from my portrait reference seated on the empty chair in the cafe image. Match the window light and camera angle, with natural hand placement on the table.

Finishing the result

This is a generative composite and can alter the original scene. Keep an untouched copy and review the result with the people pictured before sharing.
