Produce photo-real AI imagery

Master prompting, reference control, and finishing steps that mirror professional studio shoots.

Build a photography-style prompt

Start with the essentials: subject, setting, lens, and lighting. Use the same structure real photographers rely on.

  • Specify camera body, lens length, aperture, and ISO for exposure accuracy.
  • Add lighting language like "three-point lighting" or "sunset golden hour".
  • Include stylistic references (e.g., "shot on Kodak Portra 400") for color treatment.

Upload guiding reference boards

Give the model a mood board of approved poses, wardrobe, and color palettes.

  1. Create a collage of 3–5 images that capture your desired vibe.
  2. Annotate each image with quick notes ("softbox camera left", "shallow depth of field").
  3. Lock the board as a reusable reference in the CutScene library.

Refine with region editing

After the initial render, switch to the brush editor to perfect small details.

  • Smooth skin naturally while keeping pores and texture.
  • Tweak catchlights in the eyes to match your lighting setup.
  • Adjust wardrobe wrinkles to avoid the plastic look common in AI renders.

Finish with pro retouching tools

Export layered PSD files or use the integrated editor for final polish.

  • Apply frequency separation or dodge and burn for realistic skin grading.
  • Add grain and chromatic aberration to mimic real lenses.
  • Output multiple aspect ratios for social, print, and ads without re-rendering.

Organize final selects

Tag approved images with campaign, usage rights, and model info so the team can find them fast.

  • Store metadata like shot list number, focal length, and lighting diagram.
  • Share collections with clients using password-protected galleries.
  • Archive prompts alongside exports for quick reshoots.
