A showcase of advanced modifications: changing backgrounds, time of day, character emotions, and clothing.
-
The importance of upscaling your edited images with tools like Magnific to restore detail.
Pro Tips from the Lesson
-
Start with a Strong Foundation: For best results, begin with a high-quality, detailed source image where character features are clearly defined. This gives Nano Banana the best information to maintain consistency.
-
Use a Reference for Precision: For very specific camera angles (like a perfect over-the-shoulder shot), use a reference image to guide the composition. Use a tool like Gemini to create a detailed prompt that combines your original style with the reference's layout.
-
The "Clean Plate" Method: When fixing or replacing an element (like text on a sign), it's often more effective to first use a prompt to remove the incorrect element completely, and then add the corrected version back in a second step.
-
Work from the Original: Always generate new angles or edits from your original, high-quality source image. Editing an already edited image can lead to a gradual loss of detail and quality.
-
Upscale Before Animating: After making edits with Nano Banana, always run your final images through an upscaler like Magnific. This restores sharpness and texture, ensuring your video generations look crisp and professional.
