AI is becoming more powerful day by day. The Google Gemini is considered as one of the most advanced tools in the photo editing space. I’ve written this article to provide the best Gemini AI photo editing prompts for boys who are looking to convert their raw photos into an attractive visual.
I have myself generated and tested these prompts on Google Gemini. I have created these prompts in multiple categories and with advanced instructions so that they can outperform the generic editing prompts.
There are a total of 30 advanced prompts in 10 style categories with 8K maximum output quality. You just have to copy the prompts from here and paste it into your Gemini AI chat space and it will generate cinematic, 8K-grade, scroll-stopping portraits.
How to use these prompts in Gemini effectively
- Upload your raw image that you want to edit
- Copy the exact prompts given below that You want your Image should look like
- Paste the prompt into your Gemini AI chat space and personalise it by adding your hair colour, skin tone, or outfit preference in the [brackets]. Leave the rest unchanged.
- Add your identity anchor in each images like “Keep the exact facial structure, skin tone, and identity from the uploaded photo. Do not alter face shape, nose, or eyes.”
- If the generated image doesn’t contain your natural color then this prompt will be useful “More natural skin texture, reduce smoothing, realistic pores.”
