Lock a pose, change the outfit: how it works

Most AI portrait tools ask you to write a prompt before you know what you want. This studio starts from the opposite direction: one theme, four combinations, and a way to keep the parts you like.

The loop

1. Upload a photo and confirm you are allowed to use it.
2. Pick a theme — or let it choose for you.
3. Generate four looks from that theme. Each look is a pose, a costume, and a background.
4. Keep a draft, lock the pose or the costume, and generate again.

The first batch is for discovery. You are not supposed to like all four; you are looking for one direction worth keeping.

What locking means

• Lock the pose. The next batch keeps the same body position and camera angle, and changes the costume.
• Lock the costume. The next batch keeps the outfit, and changes the pose.
• Lock both. The next run produces one exact look instead of four variations.

Locks last for the current studio session. They are a way to narrow the search, not a permanent setting on your account.

Drafts and HD

Drafts are cheap and fast. They are for comparing directions, not for downloading and sharing.

When a draft feels right, refine it into HD. The HD render keeps the composition and outfit, and spends more compute on detail. Do this selectively: a good workflow is four drafts, one HD, rather than four HD renders of almost the same thing.

A rhythm that works

• First batch: let the theme surprise you.
• Second batch: lock the one thing that felt right.
• Third batch: change the other variable.
• Then choose one draft and refine it.

If every result feels off, change the source photo before changing the settings. The studio is a loop; the goal is to keep moving, not to get the perfect prompt on the first try.
