One character reference, two new scenes

A fictional character reference sheet was used for a cafe portrait and a beach portrait with GPT Image 2.5.

CharaSync · Sample generated 2026-10-06 · Case study updated 2026-10-06

Input and method

Both requests used the same reference sheet independently. Each prompt named the new scene and asked to preserve the face, freckles, short auburn hair, tan jacket and black top. The prompts explicitly requested one person and one continuous image to avoid copying the reference sheet layout.

These are real API samples submitted to APIMart using the project request builders. Prompts were sent directly with smart rewriting off. References are public, project-owned fictional assets; outputs were not retouched. They demonstrate sample results, not an end-to-end customer checkout test.

Reference and original outputs

Reference sheet showing the same fictional woman with short auburn hair — Reference

Generated photograph of the woman holding a coffee cup at an outdoor café — At the café

Generated photograph of the same woman on a beach — By the sea

What the result shows

Both saved outputs show the requested setting and retain the main hair, clothing and facial cues. The reference and two original outputs are available below for a side-by-side comparison.

Limits and checks

Lighting, expression, hair outline and fine facial details vary between scenes. These two samples do not establish an identity-match score or guarantee consistency for another reference. Inspect the face and clothing before using an output in a series.
