Copy This Edit Prompt

Keep the main product, label, shape, and lighting direction unchanged. Replace the background with a warm minimalist studio set, add realistic shadows, preserve clean edges, no extra text, no watermark.

Prompting Tips for Better Edits

  • Say what must stay unchanged before describing the new style.
  • Avoid changing too many things in one prompt.
  • Use clear words like “preserve”, “replace”, “remove”, “soften”, and “center”.
  • For products, mention label, edges, shadows, and material.
  • For portraits, mention identity, expression, pose, and lighting.

Match the Model to the Edit

Reference-guided edits need a model that can preserve the original image while following your instruction. Start with Nano Banana 2 for fast edit tests, use Nano Banana Pro for commercial-quality refinements, or compare all options in the AI image models hub before you upload.
