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.

Can Santa be added without changing the room?

Ask to preserve the room, but expect possible changes around the inserted figure. Compare with the original and use manual compositing if exact preservation is necessary.

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 and scale

Choose an open part of the room and a believable standing or seated height.

Matching light

Describe the existing lamp, window, or tree light and its direction.

A simple action

Use a restrained pose that avoids complicated overlaps with people or furniture.

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 a friendly Santa standing beside the tree in my living-room photo. Match the warm lamp light and camera perspective. Keep the furniture and decorations in place, with realistic floor contact shadows.

Another approach

Place Santa seated on the empty armchair in my holiday room photo, holding a wrapped gift. Preserve the room layout and match the soft evening lighting. Avoid adding extra people.

Finishing the result

Keep the original photograph and treat the result as a festive edited image. Generative editing may alter nearby details, so inspect the whole frame.
