- Written for
- ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok
- You'll need
- A clear photo to upload
- Status
- Tested 19 Oct 2026 in grok-imagine-image-2.0
- Test settings
- Reference photo: an AI-generated picture of a fictional woman (not a real person), made in Grok for this test at 3:4 because the image API has no 4:5 preset. Uploaded with the default copy text unchanged. The edit also used aspect_ratio 3:4 (no 4:5 preset). First result used; resized to 1200x1600 and converted to WebP.
- Variability
- Faces, poses and small details vary between runs; always compare the result with your own photo.
Use the uploaded photo as the reference for the person. Preserve their recognisable face, natural skin tone, hairline and body proportions as closely as the model permits; check the result against the reference. Scene: an old stone terrace with a carved balustrade overlooking open fields, open sky with a few soft clouds. Pose: standing three-quarter to the camera, one hand lightly holding the pallu as it lifts in the breeze, soft closed-mouth smile. Clothing: a flowing pastel peach chiffon saree with a thin gold border, simple matching blouse, small gold jhumkas; keep the hair colour and hairline from the photo, loosely tied back with a few strands free. Light: low golden-hour sun behind and to one side, warm rim light on the hair and fabric, soft fill on the face. Style: vintage cinematic portrait, gentle film grain, slightly lifted shadows, warm muted tones, shallow depth of field. Format: vertical 4:5 Avoid: changing the face or identity, skin lightening, heavy beauty filters, extra fingers, text, logos, watermarks.
