@madebyangelo Haha exactly! I was waiting for the vocals to kick in

@olegcoada I'm only sticking with Adobe because it's about 10 dollars in my currency.

@masonwarner This is the best I can replicate with Nanobanana.

@CharaspowerAI I tested it today, and it has excellent framing skills.

@MeganeJon I built a few pipelines inspired by this logic a while ago. It's super handy to have a 'gem' where you just paste the input and it automatically returns structured JSON

@raph_guilhem Library

[Matthew @MatthewAxe]

An extension to extract images here, another tool to build prompts for pay there, and good old Gemini and I working with meta-prompts. BE LAZY

@crabhive @yuruyurau A couple of years back I saw that 'ChatGPT act like ChatGPT Pro' meme, but this right here is genius.

@crabhive @yuruyurau Fable Grok WHAT! Incredible video, but this information gave me several insights.

@becamir_ Irônico é ver que o o sofrimento do processo da mais visualização que o resultado final.

@iamdidiren Reference vs prompt

[Matthew @MatthewAxe]

These past few days I've been experimenting with AI to create images that genuinely feel real. Check out these macro shots:

@GianlucaNDRT I’m proudly embracing my role as the generic mysterious silhouette

[Matthew @MatthewAxe]

With the same prompt, I can achieve consistency and a completely next-level look.

Quick note: If you use nanobanana 2 or PRO and miss Midjourney's sref, you can create your own srefs using a style sheet.

[Matthew @MatthewAxe]

After using Gemini Pro in 2026 you only have 3 choices:

- Keep paying while they increase token limits and burn your extra credits
- Hit the wall every 5 hours with compute-based limits
- Cancel the subscription and go back to GPT

(if you're not rich enough to not care)

@The_Sycomore Saw this and immediately had to test out that lighting aesthetic on my own work... Too clean not to 'steal'

[Matthew @MatthewAxe]

I already made a prompt for character sheets, so here’s a version just for extracting clothes.

POSITIVE PROMPT
Constraints: 16:9 horizontal, high-end editorial composite photo, split-layout flat lay composition of the garments and accessories from the reference image, studio setting. Composition: Left side (40% of frame): A 2x2 tight grid of four distinct close-up detail shots of individual items or fabric/print details (logo embroidery, stitching, fabric texture, tag details); clean isolated angles derived from the reference image. Right side (60% of frame): Two vertical flat lay shots side-by-side; First: full organized flat lay of all items arranged neatly together (top-down overhead view); Second: each item separated and individually spaced in a clean grid arrangement (exploded flat lay). Clear vertical gutters separating all panels. Environment: Professional minimalist photo studio; uniform off-white or light grey seamless backdrop; soft even overhead diffused lighting with subtle directional shadow to define fabric volume and depth; no harsh shadows. Items: All garments and accessories laid completely flat and wrinkle-free; items arranged with intentional spacing and alignment; no mannequin, no human body, no hands. Materials & textures: Preserve exact fabric colors, print graphics, embroidery, logo placement, textures and material finish exactly as shown in the reference image; faithful reproduction of all surface details. Primary focus (Realism): Realistic fabric micro-texture, visible cotton weave, accurate matte finish on black fabric; accurate orange print color with correct ink texture; no digital smoothing. Color & light: Neutral white balance 5500K; soft high-key lighting; medium contrast; true-to-life fabric tones matching the reference; no color grading or artificial glow. Camera behavior: Top-down flat lay perspective; 50mm–85mm lens aesthetic; deep depth of field; everything in sharp focus; subtle natural grain; zero over-sharpening. Overall aesthetic: Clean editorial flat lay; minimalist fashion catalog or merch lookbook feel; organized, precise, sophisticated.

STRICT NEGATIVES human body, mannequin, hands, person, face, wrinkled fabric, messy arrangement, overlapping panels, fused panels, distorted items, altered colors, changed logo, modified graphics, plastic-looking texture, airbrushed, 3D render, cartoon, watermark, extra text, fake HDR, neon glow, oversaturated, dark backdrop, cluttered background, signature.

@Chryzleenprompt It looks great! It’s very natural for custom AI characters.
