Prompt

Ultra-realistic split scene of the same young subject in two contrasting states. Left side: subject sits on a bed in a small messy room, tired expression, holding an empty wallet, dim moody lighting, muted colors, depressed atmosphere. Right side: same subject after payday, wearing stylish clothes and sunglasses, holding cash with a confident smile, bright cinematic lighting, clean luxury background. Add bold meme text: “Before Payday” (left) and “After Payday” (right). High contrast between both halves, cinematic lighting, 8K realism, ultra-sharp details, viral social media aesthetic.

How to remix this template in Magic Hour

You can use this template directly, or turn it into your own “private tool” inside Magic Hour by remixing it. To create your own version:

  1. Open the template in Magic Hour
    Start from this template in the AI Image Editor interface.

  2. Swap in your own input images

    • Upload your product photos, portraits, UI screenshots, or brand imagery.
    • Try a range of content types (e.g., lifestyle vs. studio shots) to see what edits work best for your use case.

  3. Refine your editing prompts
    Use clear, specific instructions so the AI understands your intent. For example:

    • “Remove all background clutter and replace with a plain white studio background.”
    • “Turn this into a clean SaaS landing-page hero image with soft gradients and subtle lighting.”
    • “Make this look like a cinematic movie still with dramatic lighting and shallow depth of field.”
    • “Convert this into flat, vector-style illustration while keeping the same composition.”

  4. Iterate on style and consistency

    • Save a few “recipes” (prompt patterns) that reliably give you your brand’s look.
    • Create variants for different channels: social ads, product detail pages, email headers, pitch decks.

  5. Save your remix as a reusable template
    Once you have a reliable prompt and workflow, save it as your own template in Magic Hour. Your team can then:

    • Reuse it with new images
    • Duplicate it for A/B testing
    • Combine it with other Magic Hour tools in your content pipeline

Practical tips for better AI image editing results

To get reliable, production-ready outputs with this template:

  • Be explicit, not vague
    Instead of “make this nicer,” say “make this look like a studio product photo on a white background with soft natural light and light shadow underneath.”

  • Describe the use case
    Mention where the asset will live: “for an e-commerce product detail page,” “for a LinkedIn ad,” or “for an app store screenshot.” This helps the AI infer composition, contrast, and legibility.

  • Reference known styles or formats
    For example: “like a modern SaaS landing page hero,” “like a cinematic still from a sci-fi film,” or “in flat illustration style suitable for pitch decks.”

  • Iterate with small changes
    Start from an output you like and refine prompts incrementally rather than rewriting from scratch. Save good prompts inside your remix.

  • Keep a ‘brand pack’ in mind
    Consistently mention your core colors, typography preferences (minimal text vs more text), and mood (playful, serious, luxury, etc.) so the model converges on a recognizable style over time.
