Image to image editing with references
Upload a reference still and describe what should change — lighting, materials, background, or style. GPT Image 2 keeps composition while applying your instructions. Results land in the same asset library as text-to-image jobs.
Prompt directions for better results
These reusable briefs explain what to describe, what the workflow returns, and where a first attempt can go wrong.
Product and commerce hero
Create a clean product image with material detail, controlled light, and room for a message.
- Make clear

- Avoid asking for invented brand marks or dense packaging copy.
Realistic portrait or editorial photo
Build a believable portrait with natural texture, a specific lens feel, and intentional imperfections.
- Make clear
- Describe the subject, expression, wardrobe, light, lens, and setting rather than only naming a style.
- Avoid
- Avoid vague requests such as “make it realistic” without a subject or light plan.
Document and editorial layout
Set up a readable page with hierarchy, spacing, and visual placeholders for a guide or editorial asset.
- Make clear
- State the page size, reading order, section hierarchy, whitespace needs, and which facts are already verified.
- Avoid
- Treat generated body copy as layout guidance, not a finished document or source of truth.
Reference image remix
Keep the important identity cues from a reference while changing one deliberate visual property.
- Make clear
- Upload a clear reference and name the one change to make, plus the elements that must remain untouched.
