Faymas Prompt Guide

Start an AI image edit with one deliberate change, then revise from the first failure.

Back to the Guide

Answer first: keep the reference subject unchanged, choose one primary transformation, and judge the result against three visible checks before adding more instructions.

The minimal-change method: lock the subject, name the one change, remove decorative extras, and review identity, composition, and the requested transformation in that order.

1. Lock the reference

Write what must remain: identity, age cues, relationship, silhouette, label, or proportions. These are constraints, not style suggestions. Keep them short enough to check in the output.

Lock what must remain before adding style.

2. Choose one primary transformation

Pick one: change the setting, change the clothing, change the lighting, change the crop, or simplify the background. Do not combine all five in the first attempt.

Example: move a father-and-child portrait from indoors to a quiet garden while keeping faces, ages, clothing, and relationship unchanged.

3. Remove instructions that do not serve the job

Delete extra adjectives, unrelated props, and multiple camera directions. A shorter prompt makes the cause of a bad result easier to identify. Add a supporting detail only when it explains the chosen transformation.

Remove extras so one change has a clear job.

4. Review in a fixed order

  1. Subject: is the person or product still recognizable?
  2. Protected detail: did any locked feature change?
  3. Transformation: is the one requested change visible and believable?

Check subject, protected detail, then transformation.

5. Revise only the failed step

If the subject changed, strengthen the lock. If the composition is weak, revise the scene or crop. If the requested transformation is missing, clarify that one instruction. Keep the other cards unchanged for the next attempt.
