Image-to-Image Prompts for Photos, Products & Styles
Adapt reference-image prompts for lighting, product scenes, and illustrated styles. Learn what to describe and what to check in the generated result.
An image-to-image prompt should explain how to use your reference photo and what the new image should show. The templates below are starting points you can edit in WizImage. They are not tested before-and-after results, and they do not guarantee preservation of identity, text, or product details.
A reusable prompt structure
Use the uploaded image as a reference for [subject or composition]. Change [specific element] to [desired result]. Aim to retain [important details]. Use [lighting, visual style, and framing]. Avoid [unwanted additions].
Replace the brackets with concrete details. If multiple images have different roles, state them explicitly rather than assuming the model knows which one provides the subject and which one provides the style.
Change the lighting in a photo
Use the uploaded portrait as a reference. Create a waist-up portrait with soft window light from the left and a neutral indoor background. Aim to retain the person's hairstyle, clothing, and expression. Use natural skin texture and avoid a heavy beauty-filter effect.
Check the face, hands, clothing, and expression against the reference. A model can alter a person's appearance even if the prompt asks it not to. Use this as a creative exploration, not an identity verification image.
Explore a product photography scene
Use the uploaded shoe as the main subject. Place it on a light concrete pedestal against a soft beige background. Use diffused studio light and a three-quarter camera angle. Aim to preserve its silhouette and material colors. Do not add text or other products.
Review logos, seams, materials, and proportions before using the result in a listing or advertisement. Treat outputs as visual concepts until you have verified that they represent the actual product accurately.
Try an illustrated style
Reimagine the uploaded street photo as a watercolor illustration. Use soft washes, visible paper texture, and a restrained blue-and-ochre palette. Aim to preserve the broad composition and main building shapes. Simplify small background details rather than adding new objects.
Style changes can also change the scene. Compare the subject placement and building shapes, then decide which differences are acceptable for your project.
Refine one decision at a time
If the first result misses the intended direction, change the relevant part of the prompt. For example, replace “studio light” with “one large softbox above and to the left” while keeping the subject and scene unchanged. Different models may interpret that instruction differently.
Open the generator, add your own reference image, and adapt one of these prompts. Generation requires an account and credits; inspect the cost before each request. See the reference image guide for input limits and the model page for current options.
