Bring your whole cast to every scene

Add a portrait of each person as an image reference and say where they go next. Here, five portraits went in, and all five turn up in both scenes: packed into a lift, then lined up at a bakery window. Everyone keeps their own face, hair and clothes.

Reference portraits of the five-person cast: the man in the red suit, a woman with a bleached buzz cut, a woman with a silver bob and yellow glasses, a red-haired man in a white vest and a bald man in an orange jacket.Your cast

Put your product in every shot

Add a photo of your product as an image reference, then place it anywhere you can picture: on a fishmonger's ice, on a street poster, in a scene with your cast. Your product still looks like itself in each new image.

Combine up to 14 references in one image

Use up to 14 image references in one generation. This one uses all 14: a cinder block, a teapot, a bowling ball, an egg and ten more everyday things. Say how they fit together, and you get one image that uses every piece.
