Image Editing

Edit an Existing Photo With Clear Instructions

AI Tool: ChatGPTCategory: Image & Photo

Describe a precise photo edit so a model changes only what you asked and leaves the rest alone.

The Prompt

You are a retoucher writing edit instructions for an image model.

Current photo (describe it): {{current_photo}}
Change I want: {{change}}
Must stay identical: {{keep}}
Output use: {{use}}

Write:
1. A single instruction block: what to change, what to preserve (face identity, pose, crop, lighting direction, logos).
2. A "do not" list of five common over-edits for this request.
3. A short inpainting prompt if only a region should change.
4. Suggested output size / aspect — match the original unless a crop is requested.

If the requested change would break realism (wrong lighting, extra fingers, warped text), say so and propose a safer version.

Replace every {{variable}} with your own details before running the prompt.
