- You have a source image and want prompt-driven edits with lower latency and lower cost than GPT Image 1 Edit or 1.5 Edit.
- You are iterating on existing assets and speed matters more than maximum edit quality.
- You want OpenAI edit coherence without the cost of the full 1 or 1.5 edit models.

Prompt structure
[What to change] + [Style/mood if relevant]. Be clear (e.g. "make it nighttime", "add rain"). The image is the start; the prompt drives the edit.
Example prompts
"Change the background to a beach. Keep the same person. Warm, sunny."
"Make the image look like a pencil sketch. Same composition. Artistic."
"Add rain and wet pavement. Keep the scene. Moody."
"Convert to vintage film look. Same framing. Nostalgic."
