Reference-driven image workflow

Reference Image AI Generator

Generate from the visual evidence you already have

Bring a reference image, a moodboard detail, a pose, or a material cue into LocalBanana, then turn that visual direction into a new image without pretending a text prompt alone carries the whole brief.

Use images, moodboards, poses, layouts, or materials as visual references instead of relying only on text prompts.

  • Upload or reuse images as reference signals.
  • Keep pose, material, lighting, and style as separate decisions.
  • Move from reference discovery into the existing image workflow.

Users who know what something should feel like visually but do not want to engineer a long prompt.

Workflow

Step 1

Start with a real cue

Use an uploaded image, saved gallery result, screenshot, or selected visual detail as the anchor for the new output.

Step 2

Name what should transfer

Separate the useful signal from the whole image: silhouette, pose, fabric, palette, lighting, composition, or camera mood.

Step 3

Generate in context

Send the direction into LocalBanana's existing creation workspace, then refine the result with clearer references or prompt text.

Examples

Warm cafe window style reference from the LocalBanana style library

Material and lighting match

Use a fabric texture and warm window light as reference while changing the subject and scene.

Character styling reference from the LocalBanana style library

Pose-led character shot

Preserve body angle and camera rhythm while rebuilding wardrobe, setting, and atmosphere.

Film-look reference from the LocalBanana style library

Moodboard to output

Combine color, lens feel, and scene notes into a reusable direction for multiple generations.

FAQ

How do I generate from a reference image in LocalBanana?

Open the LocalBanana workspace, add the image or visual cue you want to use, then describe which details should transfer into the new output.

Can I use more than one reference?

Yes. LocalBanana supports reference-led workflows where separate images can carry different signals, such as pose, style, material, or layout.

Do I need a perfect prompt first?

No. The page is designed for visual thinkers: start from what you can see, then use prompt text as one layer of the direction.
