Stained glass panel

Start with the right photo.

Use a subject that can be divided into bounded color regions on a panel.

What to expect

Create a luminous stained-glass panel depicting the subject.

Keep an eye on

Compare subject count, recognizable identity, proportions and text against the original. Deliberate transformations are described in the prompt.

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.

Choose the change deliberately.

Build the composition from colored regions that can support meaningful lead lines. Faces and small logos need particular care because an arbitrary line through a key feature can change the expression or wording.

Review and refine the result

Ask for fewer divisions around eyes and mouth if recognition suffers. Check that light appears to pass through the colored glass rather than merely reflecting off painted panels. Simplified backgrounds leave more room for the main design.

A related direction, and why

/MOSAIC — A mosaic tolerates many smaller pieces and does not need the same lead-line structure.

Where this effect helps — and its limits.

Useful for stained-glass artwork. Lead lines should support the design, not create accidental facial divisions or unreadable product labels.
