How to edit photos with a text prompt.

A practical guide to AI photo-editing prompts: specify the change, preserve important details, and refine lighting or backgrounds one step at a time.

A good editing prompt tells the model two things: what to change and what to keep. Start with one clear goal instead of stacking several unrelated transformations.

1. Choose a source you can work with

Use a clear photo, avoid unnecessary compression, and make sure the subject is visible. Only upload images you have rights and permission to edit. Studio Rabbit is for adults aged 18 and over; do not upload images of children.

2. Name the change

“Make this better” leaves many decisions open. “Replace the wall behind the subject with a neutral studio backdrop” gives the model a specific task.

3. State what should stay

List the important details: facial features, hairstyle, pose, clothing, camera angle or background. Keep the list relevant rather than repeating dozens of instructions.

4. Add light and framing

Give this photo soft, warm evening lighting from the left. Preserve the subject’s appearance, clothing, pose, background layout and camera framing. Keep shadows natural.

5. Review and change one instruction

If the result changes too much, shorten the request and make the preservation instruction clearer. Compare faces, hands, text and small objects. Every generation may differ and can consume credits, so review the cost before retrying.

Background-edit example

Replace the background with a quiet garden in soft daylight. Keep the person’s pose, face, hairstyle and clothing consistent with the source photo. Match perspective and shadows so the subject fits the new scene.

Common prompt problems

Conflicting instructions
Asking for a completely different pose while preserving the exact silhouette can conflict. Pick the priority.
Too many changes at once
Separate lighting, background and style requests when you need to understand which instruction caused a change.
Missing subject references
For several adults, refer to the person on the left or right and describe each requested edit.
