Seedream
A group for generating and editing images from text: photorealistic and stylized pictures plus editing an uploaded photo by description.
Open in studio →What it can do
- ✓Text-to-image: photorealism, art, illustrations, product shots.
- ✓Image editing (Edit modes): changing an uploaded picture by description.
- ✓Strong aesthetics and composition, rich detailed scenes.
- ✓Understands detailed descriptions of the scene, style and lighting.
How to write a prompt
Describe the scene specifically: subject → environment → style → lighting → angle. For the Edit mode, attach a photo and describe ONLY the changes: the model keeps the rest. Specifics always beat generic words like "beautiful" or "high quality".
A prompt that works
Minimalist product shot: a ceramic cup of coffee on a wooden table, morning side light, light steam, soft shadows, photorealism
Avoid this
“a cool picture”
The model will make up the scene, light and style itself, and the result will be random. Add a subject, environment, lighting, style and angle.
Examples
Art portrait
Portrait of a girl in the neon light of a cyberpunk city at night, reflections on wet asphalt, cinematic, high detail
Editing (Edit mode)
(attach a photo) Replace the daytime background with a warm sunset, keep the object and its lighting

Tips
- →Make a draft on the latest generation first, then refine with prompt details.
