Frequently asked questions
Common questions about reference-based AI generation, visual DNA, and how to get the best results.
It generates a new image from a short text brief plus a collage or up to five reference visuals. The model uses those references to follow your visual DNA—style, palette, mood, and composition cues.
You can add a collage or up to five reference visuals. Using fewer strong references can improve clarity, while five images helps capture a richer style blend and more consistent alignment.
Visual DNA refers to the shared style signals in your references—color palette, contrast, lighting, composition, textures, and overall mood. VAD uses those cues to keep new outputs consistent with your target look.
Yes. The brief defines subject matter and intent, while references steer style. Combine both for best results: describe what you want to see, and let the references control how it should look.
It’s designed for consistency by grounding generation in your reference set. Use on-brand imagery, keep references cohesive, and specify constraints in the brief to reinforce brand style across variations.
Choose clear, high-quality images that represent the exact style you want—palette, lighting, layout, and textures. Mix close and wide shots if needed, but keep the aesthetic direction consistent.
Use focused references, avoid conflicting styles, and write a specific brief with subject, environment, and key constraints. If results drift, swap a reference or simplify the description and regenerate.
Yes. VAD uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to generate images from text and reference inputs. It analyzes your references to guide style while following the intent described in your brief.
Yes. Keep the same references and adjust the brief to explore alternatives, or keep the brief fixed and swap one reference to nudge style. This makes controlled iteration fast and repeatable.
Replace any outlier reference, then regenerate. Tighten your brief with explicit style constraints like “soft daylight,” “high contrast,” or “minimal layout,” and reduce reference diversity for stronger alignment.
