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 edit keep the rest of the face exactly unchanged?

That is the intended edit, but generation can alter nearby details. Inspect the full portrait and use a masked retouching 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

Iris color

Choose a natural tone and the amount of visible variation.

Eye structure

Preserve pupil shape, eyelid position, and gaze direction.

Existing light

Keep reflections and shadows consistent with the original portrait.

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

In my portrait, change only the visible iris color to a natural muted hazel. Preserve pupil size, catchlights, gaze direction, eyelids, face shape, and the original lighting.

Another approach

Preview a soft gray-green eye color on my supplied headshot. Keep natural iris texture and realistic saturation, with the same expression, reflections, and background.

Finishing the result

Generative editing may change more than iris color. Compare with the original and use precise retouching when other pixels must remain unchanged.
