- Written for
- ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok
- You'll need
- A clear photo to upload
- Status
- Tested 28 Sep 2026 in Gemini app (web), Flash mode with built-in image generation
- Test settings
- Reference photo: an AI-generated picture of a slice of chocolate cake, made in Gemini for this test. Uploaded with the default copy text unchanged in a new Gemini chat. First result used; only converted to WebP.
- Variability
- Shape, colours and small details can vary between runs; compare with your own photo. Gemini adds a small sparkle watermark in the corner.
Use the uploaded photo as the reference for the dish. Keep the same food, portion, plating, garnish and serving vessel so it stays recognisable as this dish; improve only the light, setting and styling. Check the result against the reference. Moment: warm chocolate ganache slowly dripping over the top and down the side, one thick drip about to fall, glossy and sharp. Background: dark cocoa brown, plain and out of focus. Light: soft backlight for gloss on the sauce, small side light to show texture of crumbs and layers. Camera: 100mm macro, close to the dessert at eye level, f/4, drip in perfect focus. Style: indulgent dessert advertising, rich and warm. Format: vertical 4:5. Avoid: changed dessert shape or layers, sauce flooding the plate, plastic shine, extra desserts, text, watermarks.
Customise
For example: warm chocolate ganache.
