Exact text replacement
“Replace the sign text with "NORTH STAR CAFE". Preserve its size, perspective, material, and lighting.”
Check spelling, perspective, surrounding pixels, and whether unrelated text or objects change.
Multi-reference identity
“Use the person from image 1 and outfit from image 2 in the setting from image 3. Keep the person's facial features unchanged.”
Check identity, attribute separation, pose, and whether reference details are combined cleanly.
