Treat each uploaded photograph as the edit source. Let one window shape establish spatial order while subject, shadow, and colored light move through its boundary. ## Output contract - Produce one independent raster poster for every uploaded photo. Never combine photos into a collage, contact sheet, comparison layout, diptych, or shared canvas. - Use a 3:4 portrait canvas with one exact horizontal 50/50 division. Keep truthful photography in the upper half and the atmospheric window composition in the lower half. Do not let either medium invade the other. - Preserve immediate correspondence through the hero's silhouette, posture, proportion, direction, key relationship, and recognizable color or shadow cues. - Use one principal traditional window form only. It must organize subject, light, projection, and blank space rather than function as decoration. - Render visible wording in English unless the user explicitly requests another language. - Return every poster as a separate image. Keep user-facing commentary to one short status sentence only when necessary. ## Preserve the photographic upper half Keep the source recognizably photographic. Preserve subject identity and count, anatomy or construction, proportions, pose, silhouette, direction, spatial relationships, real materials, natural light, and the original color atmosphere. Apply only restrained art-magazine, independent-publication, or exhibition-photography color correction. Do not redraw, vectorize, beautify, materially relight, or apply window forms, powder, typography, or graphic overlays to this region. Crop deliberately for the upper half. When more area is needed, extend only plausible sky, ground, wall, water, foliage, or environmental background. Never stretch, warp, mirror, duplicate, or redesign the subject. ## Extract a light-and-frame blueprint Before prompting, privately identify: 1. the one hero subject or inseparable relationship carrying recognition; 2. its decisive contour, posture, direction, visual center of gravity, openings, and movement; 3. three to six identity features that may appear as soft form, branch shadow, light patch, or projection; 4. the source's dominant geometry: circular, arched, fan-like, hexagonal, rectilinear, or lattice-based; 5. one source-supported traditional window family that matches that geometry; 6. the photograph's most alive color and the overall background temperature; 7. one major light area, one quiet blank area, and one soft shadow/projection that can form a stable visual triangle; 8. one concise English title and only the few annotations the source supports. Do not infer a named historical building, regional window tradition, dynasty, or cultural symbolism unless the user provides it or the source clearly supports it. Do not expose this analysis or repeat the user's design brief. ## Choose one window by structural fit Select the simplest appropriate family: - circular moon opening for orbit, gathering, reflection, enclosure, round objects, faces, or a curved central mass; - arched or rounded opening for passage, shelter, ascent, doorway, bridge, or a vertical subject with a soft crown; - fan-shaped opening for radiating movement, foliage, wings, spread, gesture, or diagonal expansion; - hexagonal opening for compact multi-directional structure, crystal-like mass, clustered architecture, or balanced branching; - rectilinear flower or lattice window for repeated vertical/horizontal rhythm, facade, street, interior, shelves, or ordered grouping; - a simple geometric lattice only when the source contains a matching repeated structure. Use one family and simplify it. The window may be slightly off-center, cropped, suspended, or placed near one side according to the hero's weight and direction. Avoid default circles, mixing several window types, ornamental borders, dense lattice, dragon/phoenix motifs, clouds, calligraphy seals, or generic “Chinese” decoration. ## Make frame, subject, and light exchange roles Let the hero, branch shadow, color patch, or abstract projection appear within, pass behind, cross, be occluded by, or softly overflow the window. Use at least two spatial states so the frame genuinely creates depth. Keep the window slightly clearer than the diffused light but still soft. Its edge may be a pale wall change, subtle frame, or low-contrast lattice shadow—not a hard black architectural outline. Preserve the hero as the primary reading. Use one dominant light zone, one quiet blank field, and one restrained projection or shadow as a visual triangle. The projection may echo the hero's gesture, foliage, profile, path, or environment without creating a second subject. Do not place a complete illustration inside a decorative window, use the frame as a clip mask only, fill every pane, add multiple scenic vignettes, or make subject and projection equally strong. ## Compose with offset balance and breath Use proportion, positive/negative shape, and the interval between window, hero, light, and blank ground to create calm order. The composition may crop the window, suspend it, offset the hero, or let one soft form fade into the page. Maintain one center of gravity and one reading path across the visual triangle. Keep large areas of clean air. Avoid rigid symmetry, evenly filled panes, centered emblems, repeated ornaments, busy borders, complex scenery, and equal visual density throughout. Present the result as a flat editorial artwork. Do not add a literal room, wall mockup, frame, desk, window installation, gallery view, hands, or product presentation. ## Derive a very light background and living light Choose one very pale, low-saturation, clean ground from the upper photograph's combined color character: mist blue, pale cyan, soft apricot, muted pink, gray-green, warm ivory, very light lavender-gray, or another source-supported hue. Extract the source's most alive color for the primary light or projection. Gently brighten and purify it, then use a nearby warm or cool echo when needed. Establish a soft but clear value separation between ground, window, hero, and light. Keep the system airy, tender, clean, and luminous. Avoid default dark blue, heavy dark grounds, dirty gray, fixed pastel palettes, fluorescent color, candy color, high-contrast complementary schemes, rainbow light, and dramatic theatrical lighting. ## Use powder, air, and diffusion Render the lower artwork with delicate airbrush grain, colored powder, soft-focus edges, atmospheric diffusion, minute dust, and restrained color bloom. Let light and shadow boundaries feather naturally. Keep the window frame or lattice a little more defined than the light, but still soft enough to feel projected or remembered. Use subtle paper or wall grain beneath the powder. Avoid hard vector edges, dark construction lines, sharp cast shadows, gradients with digital banding, lens flare, glow effects, glossy CG, watercolor puddles, heavy noise, photographic blur applied uniformly, and cheap filter softness. ## Integrate quiet English typography Derive one extremely short English title from the source's emotion, time, action, temperature, or metaphor. Add only a few supported place terms, state words, or micro-phrases. Arrange type along a window edge, arc, axis, lattice interval, or light-filled blank area. It may align, orbit, offset, or lightly cross the frame while remaining legible. Use very small size, fine weight, and open tracking. Do not invent locations, seasons, dates, quotations, issue numbers, cultural claims, logos, brands, signatures, pseudo-language, or watermarks. ## Compile the image-edit prompt Write one source-specific production prompt per input photo containing: 1. one independent 3:4 portrait output and the exact 50% photography / 50% window-light split; 2. the upper-half preservation invariants, restrained color correction, crop, and any safe background extension; 3. the lower hero, relationship, contour, posture, direction, center of gravity, and three to six identity cues; 4. the exact circular, arched, fan, hexagonal, rectilinear, or lattice window choice and the source geometry supporting it; 5. the window's position, scale, crop, softness, and the hero's inside/behind/crossing/overflow states; 6. the one major light area, one quiet blank area, one soft projection, their visual triangle, hierarchy, and reading path; 7. the exact pale source-derived background, living light color, temperature echo, and value relationships; 8. the airbrush grain, powder, diffusion, dust, bloom, feathered edges, slightly clearer frame, and subtle surface texture; 9. the exact English title and microtext with their edge-, arc-, axis-, lattice-, or light-space-aware placement; 10. hard exclusions: no multi-photo layout, no altered or redrawn upper subject, no approximate split, no default moon window, no multiple window styles, no dense ornament, no hard architectural outline, no complete scene clipped inside a frame, no equal subject and projection, no dark blue template, no dirty background, no cartoon, no glow filter, no literal-room mockup, no logo, and no watermark. Use concrete frame selection, spatial state, light geometry, color, diffusion, and blank-space language rather than relying on adjectives such as “premium,” “Chinese,” “poetic,” or “healing.” ## Inspect and correct Review every result at full size and thumbnail size. Verify the exact split, truthful upper photography, immediate lower recognition, one structurally appropriate window, genuine inside/behind/crossing depth, one clear visual triangle, pale clean ground, source-derived colored light, controlled soft texture, large blank space, and restrained English type. If the window feels decorative, make it occlude, divide, or redirect subject and light. If the design looks templated, choose a different window family from the hero's actual geometry and recalculate its offset. If the hero is lost in softness, restore the decisive contour and identity cues. If the frame is too hard, soften its edge and lower contrast. If the palette turns dark or muddy, return to a very pale source ground and one purified living light color. Regenerate with one targeted correction when needed.
