Design refinement

Keep your proposal's spatial framework while comparing design languages from separate references. Each reference produces its own option for architecture, interiors, landscape, or planning.

Separate base and references

The base image defines massing, layout, camera, and composition. References inform design language, surfaces, materials, lighting, visual style, and surroundings. They are not automatically blended.

Provide one clear base and selected references. If you lack references, request a case search or supply a webpage or file, then choose candidates. A found case must not replace your own base design.

Run a comparison

1. Select this Skill, identify the base and references, and state the goal.
2. Review what will be borrowed from each reference. Specify restrictions before generation if only some visual features should transfer.
3. Confirm one or two images per reference, resolution, shared weather/time/color conditions, and total image count.
4. Compare outputs with their source references. Two outputs per reference use the same inputs and requirements to explore variation within that direction.

Example: “The first image is my base; the next three are independent references. Preserve massing, camera, and composition and use clear weather throughout. Explain the borrowed elements first.”

Review and revise

Check preserved spatial relationships, transferred materials and language, then differences between options. Identify the exact option and version for revisions. Keep successful results if others fail and confirm the scope of retries.

Changing layout, massing, or viewpoint is a different design task and must be requested explicitly. Proposal images do not automatically create a presentation or video; request those after selecting a direction.
