Future city

Start with the right photo.

Choose a subject with a clear outline and specify which original details must stay in the new city setting.

What to expect

Place the subject in a cinematic futuristic city, balancing colored light with believable shadows.

Keep an eye on

Recognizable identity, silhouette and important visible details. Compare the output to the original before using it.

Make it yours, step by step.

1. Adjust the recipe to describe your subject and preferred background.
2. Copy the complete recipe, then open ChatGPT.
3. Upload your photo in ChatGPT and paste the recipe. The short code alone is not an official command.
4. Inspect identity, text and proportions. Ask for a targeted correction if needed.

Where this effect helps — and its limits.

Useful for a futuristic scene concept. Compare light direction and contact shadows so the subject does not look pasted onto the replacement background.
