  3. Paste into ChatGPT (also works with Gemini, Flux) and generate.
  4. Keep your face locked - only wardrobe, pose, and scene should change.

Identity-preserving image-to-image prompts need a strong face reference. Avoid heavy beauty filters on the upload and use the negative prompt when your tool supports it.
