What should I prepare before starting?

Start with a description of the subject, composition, and visual style. Nano Banana 2 also accepts reference images for guidance; identify which details matter before generating.

Can I use this directly as a transparent red layer?

Check the output first. You may need to remove the background or use a blend mode and opacity adjustment in an editor before it behaves as the intended overlay.

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

Choose the effect

Decide between a red light leak, translucent wash, or textured edge glow.

Protect the subject

Keep dense color away from areas that must remain readable.

Plan the blend

Choose a background and effect brightness compatible with your intended editing method.

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

A soft crimson photographic light leak along the left and lower edges of a black frame, gentle falloff, center mostly dark and empty, no objects, composed as source artwork for a later blend.

Another approach

A restrained red haze with fine grain drifting across the upper-right corner of a dark frame, soft irregular edges, broad quiet center, no text or symbols.

Finishing the result

The image may have an opaque background. Use masking, opacity, and blend controls in an editor; exact transparency and an isolated color layer are not guaranteed by generation.
