Prompt structure
[What to change] + [Style/mood if relevant]. Be explicit (e.g. "replace the sky with stars", "add rain", "make it look like a poster"). The image defines the starting content; the prompt defines the edit.
Example prompts
"Change the background to a cozy café with warm lighting. Keep the same person and pose. Inviting, bokeh lights."
"Add autumn leaves and golden hour lighting. Same scene and composition. Warm, nostalgic."
"Make the image look like a vintage poster with limited colors and halftone. Preserve composition. Retro, graphic design."
