Editing GPT Image 2.5 reference images, provide both a change list and a keep list: background, tabletop, lighting and proportions can be changed, while the real product count, shape, color, material, packaging text and logo must be compared item by item. First validate with an authorized sample of the original image, then fix edges, contact shadows, color shifts and local text step by step. Do not promise 100% fidelity in one generation.
Preparation before uploading reference images
First confirm image rights, then choose a clear original image with normal exposure and minimal occlusion. For complex products, you can use 1-5 multi-angle shots of the same SKU to complete the structure, but do not mix different colors, different sizes, or different packaging versions.
Set a unique file name for each reference image, such as "SKU123-Blue-Front-v01," and include the version, model, and task ID on every generated output.

The two editing prompt lists
Change list: background, tabletop, shadows, environment props, and aspect ratio.
Do-not-change list: subject count, shape, proportions, color, material, pattern, packaging text, logo, and accessories.
Example prompt: "Replace only the background with a bright wood desk, add soft sunlight entering from the upper right, and add natural contact shadows. Keep the subject shape, white material, mug handle orientation, and subject size unchanged; do not add text, patterns, logos, or extra objects."

How to fix white edges, cutout leaks, and lighting mismatch
For white edges, first determine whether the issue comes from the original cutout or from mismatched lighting between the new background and the subject. Hair strands, fleece, thin mesh, glass, and metal each need separate handling of edges, transparency, and reflections. Do not hide errors by blurring the edges.
For lighting, check key light direction, contact shadows, shadow length, and specular direction. If the subject looks like it is floating, it is often not a sharpness issue, but a missing shadow and reflection where it meets the ground.

Order for handling text, logos, and color cast
Keep packaging text and logos fixed first, then do background editing. If repeated edits keep shifting glyph shapes, preserve the original packaging pixels, or reinsert high-definition correct text in traditional typesetting software. For color, use the original image, color swatch, or color values as references to avoid scene color casts from changing the product’s true color.

Five pre-publish checks
Structure: shape, proportion, perforations, connectors, buttons, zippers, and accessories.
Text: packaging copy, logo, numbers, units, model numbers, and statements.
Color and material: base color, gloss, texture, transparency, and environmental color contamination.
Compositing: edges, occlusion, contact shadows, reflections, and depth of field.
Publishing rules: proportions, dimensions, file format, rights, and platform compliance.
Flux Art is operated by MORNING STAR INDUSTRY LIMITED, a multi-model AI visual creation and production platform, and the primary official entry is flux-art.net. It is not an OpenAI official product and not a single FLUX.1 model. Teams that need multi-SKU retouching should first define samples on the website, then carry approved parameters, naming rules, and quality-check lists into batch workflows.
