How to Get Better Results with Seedream 5.0 Pro

Use clear references and explicit edit instructions to get consistent, usable outputs.

Two Practical Modes

Reference-driven editing

Upload source and target references, then describe exactly what should transfer or change.

Use image 1 as the model identity. Replace the outfit with image 2. Keep the pose, lighting, and face consistent.

Best for fashion, product swaps, and localized campaign variants.

Prompt-first generation

Start from a text prompt when the concept matters more than preserving an exact source image.

A premium product launch poster for a smart speaker, teal and silver palette, dramatic reflections, clean headline space, cinematic 2K commercial render.

Best for original campaign concepts and fast creative exploration.

Best Practices

  • Put the most important reference image first.
  • Describe what must stay unchanged before describing what should change.
  • Use 1K for exploration and 2K for final campaign assets.
  • Avoid mixing unrelated references unless the output should be a collage or fusion.
  • For product work, mention material, lighting, label clarity, and camera angle.

Prompt Tips

  • Use concrete nouns instead of vague style words.
  • Name the output format: poster, product shot, catalog image, thumbnail, or editorial photo.
  • For multiple references, number them in your prompt: image 1, image 2, image 3.
  • Ask for clean background and readable space when planning ads or thumbnails.
Prompt Templates

Seedream 5.0 Pro Prompt Templates

Copy these starting points and adapt them to your product, model, or campaign.

Product Hero

A premium [product] hero image, clean studio setup, realistic material texture, soft teal rim light, sharp label text, subtle reflection, commercial photography, 2K

Why it works

Defines subject, lighting, material, and commercial output clearly.

Outfit Replacement

Use image 1 as the person reference. Replace the outfit with the clothing from image 2. Keep face identity, body pose, lighting direction, and realistic fabric folds.

Why it works

Separates identity preservation from the edit target.

Campaign Poster

Create a bold launch poster for [brand/product], cinematic wide-angle perspective, high contrast color layers, clean headline area, realistic reflections, premium ad design

Why it works

Leaves room for copy while asking for strong campaign composition.

Catalog Bundle

Combine the reference products into one coherent catalog image, equal visual hierarchy, matching perspective, white background, soft shadows, crisp edges, e-commerce ready

Why it works

Useful for bundles, cross-sell images, and marketplace listings.
