I. Image-to-Image: New Tricks for Reference Images

Style Transfer / Style Mimicking

1. Photo to Hand-drawn Style

2. Photo Editing

Sunset Vibe: Recreate the image. (golden hour:1.4), (sunset atmosphere:1.3), dramatic lighting, cinematic lighting, warm orange light, rim light, silhouette, lens flare, volumetric lighting, tyndall effect, emotional, dreamy, masterpiece, best quality

Night: Make it nighttime

3. Portrait Photography

Creative Fashion Magazine: High-resolution studio portrait, close-up, retaining the reference image's model clothing, facial features, hairstyle, and glasses. White background with no identifiable elements. Her face is slightly turned, but her gaze is direct, intense, and focused. Her entire face is composed of puzzle pieces—each clearly visible with clean edges and a delicate 3D feel. She gently holds a piece she just removed from her cheek with her fingers, revealing a hollow black void underneath. Lighting is focused and directional, creating almost no shadows but accurately outlining the skin and the 3D puzzle structure. Overall atmosphere is surreal, precise, and highly realistic. Fashion magazine-style title "Atlas Cloud" at the top (behind the subject).

Winter Vibe: Under a single lamppost, the man attached in the uploaded reference image ( Keep the face of the person 100% accurate from the reference image ) becomes a figure of solitude. The charcoal Dior Homme coat catches the warm glow of light as snow spirals through the dark. His scarf is wrapped high, Gucci gloves clutch the umbrella, and his gaze drifts upward toward the falling flakes. The surrounding night is blurred and dreamlike, a cinematic scene suspended between quiet introspection and timeless style.
