Full prompt and why it works
Prompt
Edit the attached photo for {{use_case}} by removing only these distractions: {{items_to_remove}}. The photo will be shown as a real photo of {{subject}}, so the edit must tidy the frame without changing anything that matters about the subject. Fill each removed area with what would naturally be behind it, continuing the surrounding surfaces, patterns, texture, light, perspective and grain, so no patch, smear or repeated pattern is visible. Keep exactly as they are: every person's face, expression, skin, hair, body shape, posture and clothing; every product, with its shape, color, labels and text; the overall color, brightness and light of the photo; and the framing, crop and camera angle. Do not retouch, smooth, slim, sharpen or restyle anyone or anything, and do not move, add or remove anything except the items listed. Output the image at the same aspect ratio and resolution as the original. The result should look like the same photograph, taken a moment after someone tidied up. If removing an item would mean inventing a large area of background, or the item overlaps a person's face, hands or body or a product, leave that item in place and tell me which one and why. If it is unclear whether something belongs to the list, such as a bag that may belong to a person in the photo, leave it.
Variables
- {{use_case}}
- Where the photo will be used, for example "our About page" or "a product listing". If the photo will be used as news or as a record of what happened, do not edit it.
- {{items_to_remove}}
- Each distraction, specifically, for example "the cables on the floor, the exit sign on the back wall, the paper cup on the table and the stranger walking past at the far left".
- {{subject}}
- What the photo shows, for example "our team at the spring planning day" or "our new retail counter".
Why it works
- What to avoid. Only the listed items go, and faces, bodies and products are protected from any retouching, so the photo still shows the real people and products.
- Background facts. Each removed area is filled by continuing the surrounding texture, light and grain, the detail that decides whether a cleanup can be seen.
- If unsure. Items that overlap a person or a product, or would need a large invented area, stay in and are reported, instead of the model redrawing part of the subject.
