Imagine Image AI guide

How to create images you can keep working with.

Imagine Image AI is an AI image generator and editor for real creative work. Start from text, images, or references, then generate, select, edit, resize, and reuse the result.

This guide explains how to move from a loose idea to a precise visual direction.

A useful brief gives one image a job, then keeps the direction coherent as the deliverable changes.

A brief becomes a visual direction

Do not stop at the first image.

Use the image to inspect what works, name what needs to change, and carry the useful decisions into the next format, scene, or variation.

The creative loop

The first image is only the beginning.

  1. 01Imagine: start from a prompt, image, or set of references.
  2. 02Create: generate a visual direction with the details that matter.
  3. 03Inspect: identify what is right and what needs to change.
  4. 04Refine: select, edit, restyle, and preserve the useful context.
  5. 05Reuse: resize, vary, reference, remove the background, and deliver.

Step 1 · Write the brief

A precise prompt has a point of view.

Instead of stacking generic adjectives, describe the decisions that make the image useful: what is in the frame, where it sits, how it is lit, what it is made of, and what words belong in the design.

  1. 01

    Subject

    Who or what should be visible? Include defining traits.

  2. 02

    Composition

    Describe position, scale, perspective, and spatial relationships.

  3. 03

    Treatment

    Add lighting, materials, color, camera language, and style.

  4. 04

    Typography

    Write the exact words and explain hierarchy and placement.

  5. 05

    Context

    Explain the environment, mood, audience, or intended use.

  6. 06

    Constraints

    Say what must remain clear, recognizable, or unchanged.

Prompt example

Give the image a job to do.

“Editorial poster of a woman in a silver jacket standing behind a red sports car outside a brutalist house at dusk. Use warm edge light, reflective metal materials, a restrained red-and-slate palette, and place the headline ‘FUTURE DRIVE’ above the composition.”

Why it works

  • Subject: woman and car
  • Position: woman behind the car
  • Environment: brutalist house at dusk
  • Lighting: warm editorial edge light
  • Typography: exact headline and placement

Step 2 · Add references

Tell Imagine Image what each image should contribute.

Multiple references are most useful when each one has a role. Do not upload a pile of images; explain which visual decision each reference should bring into the result.

  1. 01Character · identity and recognizable traits
  2. 02Outfit · clothing, material, and silhouette
  3. 03Product · shape, color, and important details
  4. 04Style · palette, texture, and visual treatment
  5. 05Environment · scene, lighting, and atmosphere

Three references carry different decisions into one image. The instruction gives them a shared direction: “Place this product in the second scene, using the lighting from the fourth image.”

Step 3 · Edit precisely

Change this. Keep everything else.

When a result is close, do not start over by default. Describe the target change in plain language. For an even more precise edit, select the object or region first.

Imagine Image keeps the surrounding composition, subject identity, and visual context while applying the instruction.

  1. Change the jacket to red.
  2. Keep the product, but change the background.
  3. Remove the person behind her.
  4. Make the expression happier.
  5. Turn this daytime scene into sunset.
  6. Fix the text on the poster.

Step 4 · Adapt and deliver

One image can become many deliverables.

Use Smart Resize to recompose an image for a new aspect ratio, create variations for different messages, remove the background for reuse, and preserve the product or character across a series.

Square product image format

1:1 · Post

Portrait product image format

4:5 · Feed

Vertical product image format

9:16 · Story

DEMO / STATIC · Smart Resize gives the same visual direction a new frame, instead of asking a crop to do the whole job.

  1. 01

    Smart Resize

    Extend the scene and adapt the composition instead of cropping.

  2. 02

    Variations

    Explore another pose, message, material, or creative direction.

  3. 03

    Background removal

    Turn the subject into a reusable transparent asset.

  4. 04

    Consistency

    Keep the visual identity recognizable across the set.

Imagine Image AI guide FAQ

How do I get more precise AI images?

Describe relationships, not only objects. Include composition, lighting, material, typography, style, and the decisions that must remain clear.

How do I edit only one part of an image?

Select the meaningful region, then state the desired change. Use words such as replace, remove, restyle, adjust, or add.

What is the best way to use multiple references?

Assign each reference a role and describe how those roles should combine. Character, outfit, product, style, and environment do not need to come from the same image.

Ready to make the first image?

Start with the idea, then keep shaping it until it becomes useful.
