EDIT THE BASE IMAGE WHILE PRESERVING THE ENTIRE ORIGINAL SCENE AND COMPOSITION. Use the provided image as the base image. Preserve exactly the original scene, framing, camera perspective, lighting, architecture, furniture, clothing, body positions, arms, hands, handshake, table, money, bags, background, and secondary people. ONLY replace the faces of the two main protagonists with the corresponding faces from the provided facial reference image(s). FACIAL IDENTITY — ABSOLUTE TOP PRIORITY It is extremely important that the identities and facial characteristics of both people are preserved with maximum possible accuracy. Do not reinterpret, beautify, stylize, simplify, or replace their features with generic versions. Preserve as accurately as possible: exact facial structure and proportions head shape jawline forehead eyebrows eye shape and size distance between the eyes eyelids nose shape, bridge and tip cheekbones cheeks lips and mouth shape chin ears when visible hairline and hairstyle beard and facial hair pattern natural skin texture distinctive facial characteristics natural asymmetries and unique details of each face The people must remain clearly recognizable as the exact individuals shown in the facial reference images. Do not create merely similar-looking people. EYE DIRECTION AND FACIAL ORIENTATION — VERY IMPORTANT Both protagonists must be looking toward EXACTLY THE SAME POINT in the scene. Their gaze direction must be coordinated and visually consistent, as if both people are naturally looking at the same person or object located in the same direction. Adjust the orientation of their eyes and, if necessary, the three-dimensional orientation of their faces so that both individuals are clearly looking toward the same point, while preserving their facial identities. The eyes must remain anatomically correct: both eyes of each person must point toward the same target pupils must be naturally aligned eyelids must follow the new gaze direction eye perspective must match the head orientation no crossed eyes or unnatural eye positioning Do not modify their facial features in order to achieve the gaze direction. Adapt the facial orientation and eye direction naturally while preserving their identities. NATURAL INTEGRATION The replacement faces must look as though the two people were actually present when the original photograph was taken. Match the original image's: lighting direction shadows highlights skin illumination color temperature contrast sharpness depth of field camera perspective focal length facial scale relative to the body skin texture The faces must connect naturally to the existing necks, hair, bodies and clothing. Do not change the bodies, clothing, hands, arms, handshake, posture, background, furniture, table, money, bags, or any other objects. FINAL RESULT The final image must look like a single authentic, high-resolution professional photograph, not a face swap, composite, CGI render, AI-generated image, or digitally manipulated photograph. ABSOLUTE PRIORITY ORDER: Preserve the exact facial identity of both reference individuals. Preserve their distinctive facial features and natural asymmetries. Make both people look toward exactly the same point. Maintain anatomically correct eyes and facial proportions. Integrate the faces perfectly with the original lighting, perspective, expressions and bodies. DO NOT CHANGE THE FACES TO FIT THE SCENE. ADAPT THE ORIENTATION OF THE FACES TO THE SCENE WITHOUT LOSING THE FACIAL CHARACTERISTICS THAT MAKE EACH PERSON UNIQUE. Facial identity must take absolute priority over all other details. Negative prompt Generic faces, altered identity, face morphing, facial beautification, stylized face, different person, loss of distinctive features, changed facial proportions, altered jawline, altered nose, altered eyes, altered mouth, incorrect eye direction, crossed eyes, misaligned pupils, asymmetrical eyes, deformed face, plastic skin, artificial skin, CGI, 3D render, cartoon, uncanny face, visible face-swap edges, mismatched skin tone, mismatched lighting, floating face, incorrect perspective, distorted anatomy, extra fingers, deformed hands, changed clothing, changed body, changed background, changed composition. Tip: If you're using an image-editing model, I'd put the sentence “Facial identity must take absolute priority over all other details” near the very beginning as well. That makes the instruction harder for the model to overlook.
