The outcome
Produce an intentional visual concept whose composition can be reproduced and professionally finished.
Step by step
A workflow you can repeat.
- 01
Define the use, aspect ratio, focal hierarchy, subject, palette, camera, light, style, rights, prohibited content, and final quality target.
- 02
Select an approved model and empty or sanitized canvas, disable unneeded webcam or screen inputs, and establish a low-cost baseline prompt.
- 03
Block large shapes and composition first, saving checkpoints before changing subject, perspective, palette, or reference influence.
- 04
Refine the chosen direction with localized strokes and conservative enhancement, comparing each result for identity drift and invented detail.
- 05
Inspect at full resolution, recreate text and precision geometry manually, verify rights and disclosure, and export through the final production workflow.
Working standard
What good use looks like.
- Solve composition before detail.
- Checkpoint before major changes.
- Compare enhancements with the source.
