Create a high-end studio fashion portrait inspired by the uploaded blue-background reference photograph. Recreate the original composition with matching framing, focal length feel, camera position, subject scale, perspective, and overall visual balance while maintaining a realistic photographic appearance. Replace the reference model with the character from the supplied character image. Preserve the character's authentic facial identity, bone structure, skin tone, eye shape, hairstyle, proportions, and recognizable features. Avoid beautification that alters identity. The face should remain naturally expressive and true to the source character. Match the original body language closely: upper torso visible, shoulders relaxed, chin slightly elevated, eyes directed upward beyond the camera, conveying quiet confidence and contemplation. Maintain the same sense of presence and spatial positioning within the frame. Retain the rich cobalt-blue studio backdrop and the refined editorial atmosphere. Reproduce the original lighting setup with soft directional illumination, subtle facial highlights, realistic reflections on eyewear and jewelry, and smooth shadow transitions around the jawline, neck, and clothing folds. Preserve depth, dimensionality, and studio realism. Style the character in contemporary oversized street-fashion apparel. Use a premium relaxed-fit knit sweater or sweatshirt with natural fabric draping, layered with a minimalist chain necklace and lightly tinted translucent eyewear. The wardrobe may be customized to suit the character, but should maintain the same luxurious oversized silhouette and fashion-campaign aesthetic. Keep the image tightly composed with the same portrait crop and subject placement. Ensure identical camera-to-subject distance and visual weight in the frame. The final result should feel indistinguishable from a genuine professional photoshoot captured in this exact studio environment. Photorealistic editorial photography, luxury fashion campaign, cinematic studio portrait, premium streetwear styling, deep monochromatic blue backdrop, realistic skin texture, subtle film-grade contrast, detailed fabric rendering, natural lighting falloff, commercial advertising quality, shallow depth of field, magazine-cover aesthetics. Negative Prompt: Do not alter the background color or studio environment. Do not change the pose, framing, crop, perspective, subject distance, lighting direction, or gaze. Do not modify facial identity, facial proportions, skin tone, or hairstyle. Avoid excessive retouching, artificial skin smoothing, stylized illustration effects, exaggerated sharpening, extra accessories, text overlays, logos, watermarks, duplicate subjects, or unrealistic clothing physics.

A photorealistic fashion upper body shot of [Character Description and expression] wearing [Detailed Outfit Description]. The subject is framed inside a central white Instagram-style post border. Composition & Spacing: The white frame is perfectly centered in the middle of the image, leaving balanced empty [Soft Background Color matching the outfit] space above and below the frame to match the theme. Frame Details: The top, left, and right white borders are very thin. The bottom white section is thicker to include UI elements. The bottom section features a red heart icon, comment bubble, share icon, and bookmark icon. Text Details: Clearly visible text on the bottom panel: "[Number] likes", username "[Username]", caption "[Caption text]... more", and below that, "View all comments". 3D Pop-Out Effect & Hand Pose: [CHOOSE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS OR DESCRIBE YOUR OWN ACTION:] 1. (Grip): head and arms are physically popping out OVER the top and side thin borders. hands are realistically gripping the outer edges of the thin side borders, appearing to hold the frame firmly. 2. (Kiss): Her body is leaning forward towards the camera, creating a strong sense of depth. Her head remains securely framed WITHIN the top thin white border. Only her right hand, raised near her mouth in a blowing-kiss gesture, physically extends forward and breaks OUT of the thin side frame boundary. Her left hand realistically grips the side edge. 3. (Resting): She is looking directly at the camera with a gentle smile. Her head and shoulders physically pop out OVER the top thin white border. Crucially, her hands are realistically resting comfortably on top of the thicker bottom white UI panel, appearing to lean casually on the frame edge. 4. (Dynamic Frame): Her upper body and head remain secure WITHIN the boundaries of the white frame. However, both of her arms are fully extended outward dynamically, breaking past the thin borders up to her elbows, reaching straight toward the camera lens. She forms a distinct “L” shape with both hands, as if framing a scene. Due to perspective, her hands are positioned significantly closer to the camera than her face, showing strong spatial depth. Subject Dimensionality & Texture: The subject must look like a solid, three-dimensional figure, not flat. Emphasize the detailed texture of the [Specific Fabric Name from outfit description], the contours of the face, and realistic hair details. She should have distinct depth separating her from the flat [Background Color] background. Lighting & Shadows: Professional studio lighting creating soft, realistic drop shadows cast by the physical frame and, crucially, by the [popping-out elements, e.g., hands/head/arms] onto the solid flat [Background Color] background, enhancing the dramatic depth and illusion. High definition, commercial photography.

At a glance

Is this model right for you?

A request without images runs as text to image; uploading 1–10 images switches it to image editing. Both modes share 8 aspect ratios, basic/high, PNG/JPEG, and a content-check control. That check is only an aid and does not mean the output has passed copyright, privacy, safety, or factual review.

What it does best
Image generation and editing for work that needs controlled output tiers and multiple references, with mode switching and clear pricing in one entry point.
Who it is for
Product visuals, posters, character concepts, layout variants, and design workflows that use separate materials to guide subject, composition, and style.
Why use it on Kyeo AI
Kyeo calculates integer preauthorization from the output tier and reference-image count before submission, then reads actual consumption after completion. Requests include only fields on the current contract allowlist.

Decision guide

Still deciding? Start with these key decision points.

1
Test Pro when references have distinct roles

When subject, style, composition, or palette come from separate materials, assign each image a purpose and test the combination with one shared prompt.

2
Compare before choosing a higher named resolution

The current Pro ceiling is 2K. If 3K/4K is the primary requirement, run the same task against Seedream 5.0 Lite or Seedream 4.5.

3
Include image count in the budget

The high tier with 10 reference images is preauthorized at 19 credits. Removing unnecessary references can lower cost and reduce conflicting visual signals.

Real-world experience

Practical guidance based on public sources, current on-site limits, and representative tasks.

Pro does not mean higher in every dimension

The verifiable differences are the workflows, parameters, input limit, and price. Judge quality, speed, and instruction following with samples from the actual task.

Multi-image value depends on clear roles

Stacking similar images can add conflict. Defining what each reference should control is more useful than increasing the count alone.

Capabilities

Separate generation and editing flows

The system selects the appropriate workflow based on whether references are present and does not send image fields with text-only tasks.

Tier and format controls

Choose basic/1K or high/2K and output as PNG or JPEG.

Image-count-aware preauthorization

The quality parameter sets the base price; editing starts adding cost with the second input, and conservative preauthorization is completed before task creation.

Use cases

Product visual variants

Provide separate product, environment, and style references, identify the brand elements that must stay intact, and generate horizontal and vertical versions.

Character consistency studies

Use a small set of strong references to anchor clothing, hairstyle, and palette, then state which poses and scenes may change.

Poster and layout drafts

Fix the canvas and information hierarchy, while treating text layout and proofreading as manual steps after generation.

Prompt tips

Give each image a role

State which image controls the subject, style, or composition so the model does not blend every feature indiscriminately.

Start with basic, then move to high

Validate composition and instructions at 1K before using 2K for the selected direction to reduce higher-tier iteration cost.

Separate what to keep from what to change

For edits, list required preserved elements and permitted changes; this is easier to review than a target effect alone.

Why choose it

One entry point covers text generation and editing with up to 10 reference images.
Output tiers, aspect ratios, and format limits are explicit.
Preauthorization reflects the reference-image count, so cost changes are visible before completion.
Upload validation follows the model contract for input format and per-image size.

What to know first

The current highest tier is 2K and must not be described as 3K or 4K.
More references do not guarantee a more stable result; conflicting material can create rework.
The content-check toggle does not replace manual copyright, privacy, and safety review.
The model name does not guarantee speed, quality, or commercial suitability.

Credit cost

7–19 credits

For basic/1K, the base price is 7 credits; for high/2K, it is 14 credits. Image editing adds a charge from input 2 onward, at 0.5 credits per additional image. Kyeo rounds the request total up, so valid requests are preauthorized for 7–19 credits, then settled against actual consumption after completion.

Credit-saving tip

Before generating images or videos in bulk, run an A/B test with the same input on this model and similar alternatives. Confirm the result first to avoid wasting credits.
