Recommended workflow
- 01
Prepare the input
Choose reference images you have permission to use. For Dark Lace Couture Editorial Portrait, prioritize a clear subject and avoid unrelated people or private details in the frame.

Lock the visual plan
Confirm subject count, framing, scene, and lighting before adding finishing language. Resolve conflicts such as close-up versus full-body composition.
- 03
Adapt for one model
Start with ChatGPT Image. Keep a baseline generation and document the exact model version, references, aspect ratio, and visible settings.
- 04
Revise from evidence
Name the visible failure, change one instruction block, and compare it against the baseline. Keep only revisions that improve the intended criterion.

A compatibility label means the visual intent can be adapted; it does not promise identical output across providers, versions, or settings.
Prompt-specific quality checklist
- Preserve the reference person's exact hair color, natural hair length, density, strand thickness, texture, hairline, parting characteristics, natural straight, wavy, or curly structure, overall volume, and recognizable hair identity.
- Style the hair into the explicitly requested sleek braided low bun with a center part and a few soft face-framing strands, while preserving the person's original hair identity and avoiding an unrelated replacement hairstyle.
- Do not freeze or directly copy the exact hair placement from the reference photograph. Naturally adapt the individual strands, center part, braided bun construction, face-framing strands, volume, direction, gravity, movement, and shine to the new head angle, seated pose, studio lighting, and editorial composition.
- Apply Korean-inspired dark romantic makeup without changing the woman's underlying facial anatomy or identity.
- The makeup includes luminous realistic skin with visible pores, smoky taupe eyeshadow, thin winged eyeliner, wispy lashes, muted rose blush, subtle champagne highlights, and glossy rose-brown gradient lips.
- Makeup must sit naturally on the real facial structure and must not enlarge the eyes, shrink the nose, reshape the lips, sharpen the jawline, smooth away pores, lighten the skin, or create a generic beauty-filter face.
- Maintain anatomically correct hands, fingers, wrists, arms, shoulders, neck, torso, hips, legs, knees, ankles, and feet.
Failures to check before publishing
- changed identity
- identity drift
- low facial similarity
- generic face
- beautified face
- idealized face
- altered facial anatomy
