What it does
This prompt instructs the AI to act as a professional photobooth-strip photographer and produce a realistic, print-style vertical strip featuring a specified person or character in four evenly spaced frames, each with a distinct playful pose or expression, all shot with consistent lighting, composition, background, and photo style. It also directs the AI to apply client-chosen border colors and frame elements, add authentic photobooth print cues (clean margins, glossy texture, and natural shadows), and maintain a client-facing workflow mindset—preserving skin tones, respecting consent and copyrights, and prompting for missing event specs or approvals to ensure a cohesive, shareable, print/web-ready final strip.

imageInputs
This prompt requires exactly 4 images. You must pass exactly 4 image flags (no more, no fewer), in the order matching the descriptions below.
| Index | Required | Description | Allowed CLI flags |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Yes | Upload reference photo for frame 1 of the strip | --image-input-url <url> or --image-input-path <path> |
| 2 | Yes | Upload reference photo for frame 2 of the strip | --image-input-url <url> or --image-input-path <path> |
| 3 | Yes | Upload reference photo for frame 3 of the strip | --image-input-url <url> or --image-input-path <path> |
| 4 | Yes | Upload reference photo for frame 4 of the strip | --image-input-url <url> or --image-input-path <path> |
Models and options
This skill's modality is: image.
To discover which model values you can use (and which options keys/values are valid for each model), run:
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
Then filter the returned JSON array to entries where modality is "image".
How to run
Step 1: Collect inputs
First, run betterprompt resources --models-only --json and filter to modality: "image" to discover valid models and available options:
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.
Then collect all inputs from the human:
- Required text inputs:
frame_colorphoto_styleframe_elementsbackground_styleperson_or_character
- Required images:
- Exactly 4 images: image 1 (Upload reference photo for frame 1 of the strip), image 2 (Upload reference photo for frame 2 of the strip), image 3 (Upload reference photo for frame 3 of the strip), and image 4 (Upload reference photo for frame 4 of the strip). Images must be provided in this order.
- Optional: model and options.
- Present the human with the default model
gemini-2.5-flash-image-previewand its available options. Look upgemini-2.5-flash-image-previewin thebetterprompt resourcesoutput (filtered to modality"image") and show itsavailableOptionsas:key: val1, val2 (default), val3 | key2: .... Mark a value(default)if it matches these defaults:{}. - If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model
gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview, options{}. Other models from the resources call are also available.
- Present the human with the default model
If any required text input or the required images are missing, ask the human for what's missing. Do not assume or fabricate values. Tell the human: "Please provide images in this order: image 1 (Upload reference photo for frame 1 of the strip), image 2 (Upload reference photo for frame 2 of the strip), image 3 (Upload reference photo for frame 3 of the strip), and image 4 (Upload reference photo for frame 4 of the strip)".
Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI
Use the frontmatter's name as the positional argument (for this skill, use realistic-4-frame-photobooth-print-strip).
Command form:
betterprompt generate realistic-4-frame-photobooth-print-strip \
[--input <key>=<value>] \
[--image-input-url <url>] \
[--image-input-path <path>] \
[--model <model>] \
[--options <options JSON>] \
[--json]
Notes:
- Pass each text input as a separate
--input <key>=<value>flag. - Pass each image using
--image-input-urlor--image-input-path, in the order matching the imageInputs descriptions (image 1 first, then image 2, etc.). - If the human does not mention a model, omit
--modeland BetterPrompt will use the default model:gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview. - If the human does not mention options, omit
--optionsand BetterPrompt will use the default options:{}. - If the run times out, the response will include a
runIdyou can use to fetch the result later.
