Problem

My face doesn't look like me

What to do: Re-anchor the image to your reference photos and ask for the face to be rebuilt, not retouched.

Fix Prompt

Regenerate this image but make the face an exact match to my uploaded reference photos. Rebuild my facial structure: eye shape and spacing, nose width and bridge, lip shape, jawline, chin and hairline. Keep my natural skin tone and texture with visible pores and fine lines. Do not beautify, slim, or average my features. Keep the outfit, pose, background and lighting exactly as they are.

Problem

My hands look weird

What to do: Ask specifically for a hand rebuild with a finger count — vague requests get ignored.

Fix Prompt

Keep everything in this image the same but redraw both hands accurately: exactly five fingers per hand, correct finger lengths and joint bends, natural nail shapes, realistic knuckles and no merged or extra digits. Hands must be proportional to my wrists and body. If a hand is holding an object, show a believable grip with fingers wrapping correctly around it.

Problem

My hair changed

What to do: Describe your hair in words as well as pointing to the reference.

Fix Prompt

Keep this image identical but restore my hair to match my reference photos exactly: same length, same colour and tone (including roots), same texture and same parting and hairline. Do not add extensions, volume, or a different style. Keep individual strands and flyaways realistic rather than smooth and painted.

Problem

My outfit changed

What to do: Lock the wardrobe with a specific description, then freeze everything else.

Fix Prompt

Keep this image exactly as it is but correct the outfit so it matches what I described: [describe the garment, colour, fabric and fit]. Keep the fabric folds, seams and fit realistic for that material. Do not add logos, prints, text or accessories that I did not ask for. Face, pose, background and lighting must stay unchanged.

Problem

It looks too fake

What to do: Ask for photographic imperfection — that is what sells realism.

Fix Prompt

Keep this image the same but make it look like a real photograph rather than a render. Add natural skin texture with pores, faint lines and slight colour variation, remove plastic smoothing and the airbrushed glow. Introduce realistic depth of field, slight sensor grain, natural imperfect lighting falloff and true-to-life colours. No glossy highlights, no over-sharpening, no HDR look.

Problem

I need better lighting

What to do: Name the light source, direction and time of day.

Fix Prompt

Keep my face, outfit, pose and background identical, but relight this image with soft natural window light coming from camera-left at roughly 45 degrees, as if shot mid-morning. Gentle falloff into soft shadow on the right side of my face, catchlights in both eyes, no harsh hotspots, no flat frontal flash. Keep the colour temperature warm and neutral.

Problem

I want a full-body image

What to do: Ask for the framing and the proportions in the same breath.

Fix Prompt

Recreate this image as a full-body photograph, head to feet, with space above my head and below my shoes. Keep my face identical to my reference photos and keep my real body proportions — do not slim or lengthen me. Show complete shoes, correct leg and arm proportions, and a natural standing posture. Same outfit, same location, same lighting.

Problem

I want to change the background

What to do: Change the scene and the lighting together, or it looks pasted on.

Fix Prompt

Keep me, my outfit and my pose exactly as they are, but change the background to [describe the new location]. Match the lighting on me to that environment — correct direction, colour temperature and shadow softness — and add believable contact shadows so I am grounded in the scene. Background should have natural depth of field, not a flat cut-out look.

Problem

I want a different pose

What to do: Describe the pose as a movement, not as a word like 'confident'.

Problem

I want it to look more realistic

What to do: Give the AI camera settings — it responds to photography language.

Fix Prompt

Regenerate this image as a realistic photograph shot on a full-frame camera with an 85mm lens at f/2.0, ISO 200, natural available light. Preserve my exact likeness from my reference photos. Realistic skin texture, natural asymmetry in the face, accurate hands, believable fabric behaviour and true-to-life colour. Slight background blur, subtle grain, no illustration or CGI look, no text or watermarks.

Gemini's interface and available features can change over time, but the creative prompting principles inside this library can be adapted as those tools evolve.
