The prompt tools are named after three situations anyone who makes images will recognize. Enhance is for a rough idea that needs more detail. Mutate is for an idea that needs a different direction entirely. Refine is for a prompt that's mostly right, with one part that isn't.

All three work on the wording before any image is requested. The starting version stays available with a preview and a way back, so trying a suggestion doesn't cost a phrase that was already doing its job. A good share of my work on these controls went into making each one behave the way its name promises.

An image request can carry the brand's logo and up to three more reference images. Those inputs have different jobs. A reference might suggest the composition or the color treatment. The logo is there to identify the business.

Saved brand profiles hold the recurring material together. Someone preparing a presentation, an article image or a report picks the right profile and switches when the job belongs to a different brand.

Earlier images stay in the history. A promising direction has somewhere to wait while another is tried, and a return visit can start from an existing result.

Studio also shaped Image Studio, the image application I built afterward while making this site's portraits. Both keep references and revisions close at hand. Banetti Studio begins with a business and its brand; Image Studio leaves branding optional.
