Why image to image is a different workflow from prompt-only generation
When users already have a photo, product shot, reference frame, or approved draft, image to image is usually the better path. It keeps the source image as the anchor and uses that structure to guide the transformation.
That means less randomness, stronger continuity, and a faster path to useful creative variations. Instead of prompting the whole scene again, the user can focus on what should change: style, lighting, texture, tone, mood, or finish.
Start from what already works and evolve it instead of rebuilding the whole composition.
Use targeted guidance to restyle a frame without losing the overall subject or visual direction.
Useful for teams that need several versions from one strong base visual.
