- Occasion
- Thanksgiving (Canada) · 12 Oct
- Status
- Tested 4 Oct 2026 in OpenAI built-in image generator (model version not exposed)
- Test settings
- Exact default copy text used. Synthetic AI-generated reference supplied as image input (/media/canada-thanksgiving-leftovers-reference.webp). First result used. No seed or generation controls exposed; converted to WebP without creative edits. ChatGPT and Gemini app compatibility not separately tested. The page now links a smaller copy of that same reference photo (/media/canada-thanksgiving-leftovers-reference-c3.webp), recompressed on 9 Oct 2026 with no change to the picture.
- Variability
- A different uploaded photo can change faces, hands, objects and crop. The one synthetic-source result shown is not a guarantee of identity preservation.
Prompt
Edit my uploaded photo of Thanksgiving leftovers. Keep the food items and quantities shown; make the meal look appetising through natural daylight, tidy framing and realistic texture. A lunch-at-home scene with the same plate and utensils, vertical 4:5. Do not turn leftovers into a different dish, add sauces or claim a recipe. Avoid plastic-looking food, duplicated utensils, hands and lettering.
How to use it
- Open an external image tool listed above. The tested model, if any, is named in Status.
- Upload a clear reference photo of the subject. If it includes identifiable people, get their consent and check each face.
- Customise the fields, copy your version, paste it with the photo and generate.
- Compare the result with the reference. If a face, pose or detail changes, ask for one correction or try again; an exact match is not guaranteed.
How to use this prompt
- This prompt changes your own photo. Choose a clear reference photo, and get permission from people who can be identified.
- Upload the photo in the external AI app you chose. Fill Customise, press Copy prompt and paste the prompt with the photo.
- Compare the new picture with the original. Face, hands, clothes and pose can change. An exact likeness is not guaranteed.
Good to know
- Verify the output still represents the actual food and portion.
- Use reference photos you have the right to use; get consent from identifiable people.
