- Reference photo: an AI-generated picture of fictional adults (not real persons), made in Grok for this test. Default copy text unchanged. Aspect ratio horizontal 4:3. Replacement image: first new try used; only converted to WebP at 1600×1200, not upscaled.
- Variability
- Faces, poses and small details vary between runs; always compare the result with your own photo.
Use the uploaded family photo as the only reference for the people in it. Keep exactly the same people: do not add, remove or duplicate anyone. Preserve each person's recognisable face, natural skin tone, age and relative height as closely as the model permits; keep everyone's ages as they are in the photo and match each person separately. Scene: a comfortable imagined Indian living room decorated for New Year with golden fairy lights and cream balloons, soft cushions and warm lights; no written decorations or number balloons. Moment or Pose: everyone together in a natural arrangement, some seated and some standing, happy relaxed smiles, every face visible. Clothing: coordinated festive outfits in ivory, navy and pastel gold that suit each person. Light: warm indoor light, soft shadows, natural skin tones. Camera: 35mm, f/5.6, eye level, everyone in focus. Style: photorealistic family lifestyle photography. Format: horizontal 4:3. Avoid: changed faces, skin lightening, extra fingers, text, logos, watermarks, added or missing people, faces made younger or older, duplicated faces, distorted hands, numbers.
