Two Directions for the Same Portrait: Realistic and Artistic Redrawing

Using a single real-person reference photo as a unified input, the image editing capabilities of gpt-image-2.5 Flare are used to produce two stylistic directions respectively: one is a realistic redrawing that preserves skin texture, natural light sources, and the sense of lens focal length as much as possible; the other is an artistic redrawing that leans toward painterly rendering with strong color layering. Both versions share the same composition and pose, making it easy for developers to compare the performance differences of the same image_urls input under different prompts, and it also serves as a style reference baseline for e-commerce portraits, social media avatars, and creative key visuals. The examples use a 4:3 vertical composition and the 2K tier, retaining the adjustable space for aspect_ratio and resolution in the schema.
