Enhance this portrait photo. Keep the person's face, facial features, skin tone, hairstyle, expression and clothing exactly as they are — do not change their appearance. Improve lighting so the face is evenly lit, sharpen the eyes and hair, remove noise and compression artifacts, and correct the colour balance to look natural. Keep natural skin texture with visible pores — no smoothing or airbrushing. Output at 4K quality, photorealistic.

Edit this photo: replace the background with a clean neutral grey studio backdrop with a soft gradient. Keep the person exactly as they are — same face, pose, hairstyle, clothing and body proportions.

Edit this photo: replace the background with [A SUNLIT COBBLESTONE STREET IN AN OLD EUROPEAN TOWN]. Keep the person unchanged — face, pose, hairstyle, outfit and proportions exactly as in the original. Relight the subject to match the new scene: [WARM LATE-AFTERNOON SUN COMING FROM THE RIGHT], with matching shadow direction and colour temperature. Shallow depth of field, background softly blurred. Photorealistic, 4K.

Turn this photo into a professional corporate headshot. Keep the person's face, features and hairstyle exactly as they are. Replace their clothing with [A WELL-FITTED NAVY BLAZER OVER A WHITE SHIRT].

Edit this photo: change the outfit to [A CREAM LINEN SHIRT AND BEIGE TROUSERS]. Keep the person's face, hairstyle, skin tone, pose, body proportions and the background exactly as they are. The new clothing should fit the body naturally with realistic fabric folds and drape, and match the existing lighting direction and shadows. Photorealistic, 4K quality.

Restyle this photo as a [1990s] film photograph. Keep the person's face, features and pose exactly as they are. Apply the colour science of [KODAK PORTRA 400]: warm skin tones, slightly muted greens, gentle highlight rolloff. Add fine natural film grain and very slight softness at the frame edges. Do not add fake light leaks or heavy vignetting. Realistic film photograph, not a filter.

Apply a cinematic colour grade to this photo. Keep everything in the frame exactly as it is — same face, subject, composition and background. Grade it with [TEAL SHADOWS AND WARM AMBER HIGHLIGHTS], deepened contrast, and a slight letterbox crop feel. Preserve detail in both the shadows and the highlights. Filmic, high dynamic range, 4K quality.

Restore this old photograph. Repair scratches, creases, tears, dust and fading. Correct the colour cast and rebuild faded detail in the faces and clothing. Keep every person's face, features and expression exactly as they are — do not beautify, reshape or modernise anyone. Keep the original composition and the period-accurate look of the clothing and setting. Sharp, natural, 4K quality.

Colourise this black and white photograph. Keep every face, feature, expression and detail of the composition exactly as it is. Use realistic, period-accurate colours: natural skin tones, believable fabric colours for the era, and accurate colours for the setting. Avoid oversaturation — this should look like a colour photograph from the time, not a modern digital image. Sharp, 4K quality.

Sharpen and repair this blurry photo. Keep the subject's face, features, pose and the composition exactly as they are — reconstruct detail, do not invent a different person. Remove motion blur and focus softness, recover fine detail in the eyes, hair and fabric texture, and reduce noise while keeping natural grain. Do not over-sharpen into halos or crunchy edges. Photorealistic, 4K quality.

Relight this photo with [SOFT GOLDEN HOUR SUNLIGHT COMING FROM THE LEFT]. Keep the person, their face, outfit, pose and the background exactly as they are — change only the lighting. Add a warm rim light along the hair and shoulder on the lit side, soften the shadows on the opposite side, and warm the overall colour temperature slightly. Realistic light behaviour, no glow effects. 4K quality.

Clean up this group photo. Keep every person's face, expression, pose and clothing exactly as they are — do not alter anyone's appearance.

Sharp, 4K quality.

Edit this product photo: place the product on a clean pure white background with a soft natural shadow beneath it.

Razor-sharp product edges, accurate colour, e-commerce ready, 4K quality.

Edit this image: add the text "[YOUR TEXT HERE]" in [A CLEAN BOLD SANS-SERIF] onto [THE SIGN ON THE WALL]. The text must be spelled exactly as written and fully legible. Match the perspective, curvature, lighting and shadow of the surface it sits on so it looks physically printed there, not overlaid. Keep everything else in the photo unchanged. Sharp, 4K quality.

Restyle this photo as [A SOFT WATERCOLOUR ILLUSTRATION]. Keep the person recognisable — same face shape, features, hairstyle, expression and pose — so they are clearly still the same person. Keep the composition identical. Apply [visible brush texture, soft colour bleeds, and a light paper grain]. Do not add or remove anything from the scene. High detail, clean finish.
