@pallavkaushish @ReflctWillie Yes, used NBP. With 3 people in the shot it changed all three - younger, more hip. With just one, it worked.

@dpentecost @ReflctWillie Use Nano Banana Pro or Seedance 4.5, they both preserve the subjects’ face and body appearance as is. Any other model will not maintain face and body proportions as accurately.

Contact Sheet prompting in Nano Banana Pro is getting a lot of buzz. I tried adapting it for a 'fashion style' shoot... I'm sold. Full workflow, prompts, and some tips below. Shout out @techhalla @firatbilal for the inspiration.

@ReflctWillie Hmm. After giving it a single image, in a different location, it returned a single from two images previous , in that location. Remembered and brought it back. Is there a logic to its failures? Same thread eventually works?

@ReflctWillie This is terrific. I tried the prompt with photos (several times actually) but the subject(s) ended up different people. How do you maintain the same person as the input image?

@dreamwieber Yep. Lifelong learner here at age 75. Hang in there, kids. And pass it on.

I see a lot of terrible advice on here. So here's some good advice: be a lifelong learner. Stay curious, stay playful. Remember to have fun, and try to be kind.

@rudytheelder Next year I'll take you to Palenque. Stay in San Cristobal. Deal?

Chichen itza!

@dreamwieber Cool. And the result in visionOS?
