Template-led edits
Choose a direction instead of starting with prompt engineering. Portrait, product, poster and character templates pre-fill the visual brief, so you only need to upload a reference and describe the change.
Upload a photo and describe the change: restyle, relight or recompose it while keeping the face, product or layout. Free with Kolors; up to 8 references.
Upload a reference, choose a visual direction and make the result yours with a short description.
Switch models in the same panel and compare the look that fits your brief.
Create posters, infographics and precise edits with GPT Image 2 on Cinel. Strong prompt following and legible text, 2 credits per 1K image for members.

15 creditsChoose a direction instead of starting with prompt engineering. Portrait, product, poster and character templates pre-fill the visual brief, so you only need to upload a reference and describe the change.
Tell Cinel what must stay unchanged: face, product shape, pose, logo, colors or composition. Clear keep-and-change instructions make each variation more stable.
Use separate references for the subject, outfit, product, background or style when a model supports it. Describe the role of each image and let Cinel combine them into one frame.
Start with one reference, then create portrait, landscape, square and campaign variations. Send the result to editing, uncrop or video when the next frame is ready.
An engineering and creative breakdown of model performance, architecture, and practical production workflows.
Image to image starts from something real: a selfie, a product shot, a sketch, a room photo or an earlier AI result. You upload it, say what should change and what must stay, and Cinel produces a new version that still resembles the original. It's the quickest way to turn one good picture into a set of variations: a different season, a new backdrop, an illustrated style, a campaign layout. You can start for free with Kolors and move to a premium engine when identity or text has to be exact.

Image-to-image prompts read best as keep + change + style:
Image to image creates a new picture inspired by your reference: good for restyling and new scenes. The AI Image Editor makes a targeted change to the same picture, such as removing an object or changing a colour, and leaves everything else as it was. Pick the editor when the original must survive almost untouched.
Free users can add up to 3 per request. Members can add up to 8 when the selected model supports multiple references.
Good sources and clear "keep" instructions help a lot. For identity-critical work, Nano Banana 2 and Nano Banana Pro are the most consistent choices on Cinel.
Yes. Kolors supports reference images and doesn't use credits. Signed-in users can also claim 9 free credits every day to try credit-based models such as GPT Image 2. Every model shows its credit cost before you generate.
They're ready-made directions (headshot, product photo, anime portrait, poster, couple photos, room redesign) that pre-fill the brief, so you only upload a photo and fine-tune.
Ask the model to keep the label exactly, and choose GPT Image 2/2.5 or Seedream 4.5, which handle printed text best. Always check small text before publishing.
Only upload images you have the right to use, and follow Cinel's Acceptable Use Policy, especially for real people and brands.
