Usage Guide: Better Prompts for AI Photo Editor
Seedream works best when your instruction clearly defines what to change and what to keep. For image to image editing, think in three parts: target area, desired change, and quality constraints.
Step 1
Describe target area first
State exactly which part changes: background, object, clothing, text region, or lighting.
Step 2
Specify edit intent
Use explicit actions like replace, remove, restyle, brighten, sharpen, or rewrite text.
Step 3
Lock what must stay
Add constraints for identity, composition, camera angle, and material realism to keep consistency.
Prompt Formula
Use this structure for higher consistency in prompt to image editing.
[Target Area] + [Exact Change] + [Keep Unchanged Constraints] + [Style/Lighting/Quality Details]
Quick Prompt Templates
Change background to [scene], keep subject pose and framing unchanged, preserve realistic shadows and skin texture.
Replace [object A] with [object B], keep hand placement and perspective, match original lighting direction.
Restyle image to [visual style], keep product shape and logo placement, maintain clean commercial photography look.
Update text on sign to "[exact text]", keep font weight similar, align text naturally to surface perspective.
Strong Prompt Example
Object replacement + background rewrite + style consistency
Replace the coffee cup on the table with a matte black ceramic cup, keep the hand position and table composition unchanged, change background to a rainy Tokyo night with soft neon reflections, preserve photorealistic skin texture and natural shadows.
Weak Prompt Example
Too vague, no constraints
Make this image better and more professional.
Tip: add target area, concrete change, and what must stay unchanged.
Pre Generate Checklist

Did you specify the concrete change action?
Did you define what must remain unchanged?
Did you include style, lighting, and realism quality hints?
Did you avoid vague words like "better" without constraints?
Will this prompt still make sense after 2 to 3 iterations?
