Prompt
Use the uploaded photo as the reference for everyone in it; everyone shown has agreed to this edit. Preserve each person's recognisable face, natural skin tone, hairline and body proportions as closely as the model permits; check the result against the reference. Keep everyone's ages as they are in the photo. Scene: Change only the background. Keep every person, their pose, clothes, hair, ages and natural skin tones exactly as in the photo. New background: the green lawn of a famous old palace with fountains. Pose: unchanged from the photo. Clothing: unchanged from the photo. Light: match the new scene: soft afternoon light from the same side as in the photo, a shared ground shadow under the group. Style: seamless photographic composite, matching focus, colour and grain. Format: keep the original aspect ratio Avoid: adding or removing people, changing anyone's face, age or body, skin lightening, halo edges, mismatched shadows, extra fingers, text, logos, watermarks.
Customise
For example: the green lawn of a famous old palace with fountains.
