  4. 07:12 ↗

    Comparative testing between Nano Banana, Seedream, and Reeve AI shows varying levels of accuracy in maintaining original clothing text and facial features during edits.

Workflow outlined in the video

  1. Upload your base character image and target scene image into an image editing platform like Seedream or Nano Banana.
  2. Write a descriptive prompt specifying the desired changes, such as swapping the man from the sci-fi image with the reference subject.
  3. Configure your generation settings to the highest available resolution, such as 4K for Seedream, and select a 16:9 aspect ratio for film projects.
  4. Generate multiple iterations (e.g., quantity of four) to account for variability in facial features and text rendering.
  5. Download the resulting images in PNG format to ensure the highest possible fidelity for downstream video production.
