- Reference photo: an AI-generated photo of a fictional place, made in Grok for this test. Uploaded with the default copy text unchanged. Aspect ratio 3:2. First result used; resized to 1600x1067 and converted to WebP.
- Variability
- Faces, poses and small details vary between runs; always compare the result with your own photo of the place.
Use the uploaded photo of a real place as the reference. Keep the layout, buildings, roads, trees and landmarks where they are in the photo and change only the look; check the result against the reference. Scene: the same beach seen from above, colourful fishing boats pulled up on the sand, tiny umbrellas, boats and figures like toys. Light: bright midday sun, short shadows. Style: tilt-shift miniature photo, sharp band along the line where the waves meet the sand, soft blur above and below, very bright saturated colours. Format: horizontal 3:2 Avoid: adding or moving landmarks, recognisable faces, readable signs, logos, text, watermarks.
Customise
For example: colourful fishing boats pulled up on the sand.
For example: line where the waves meet the sand.
