Dual-track realistic and artistic portrait repainting

Using the same real portrait as reference, this demonstrates the adjustable space of the gpt-image-2.5-sunburst image-to-image pipeline between "preserving identity" and "pushing style." The work first establishes an identity baseline with the source image, then uses an editing prompt that emphasizes preserving facial proportions, the hairline, and clothing contours to push the subject toward two expressions: realistic and artistic. The realistic track emphasizes natural skin texture, soft window light, and restrained color grading; the artistic track uses strong side lighting with deep chiaroscuro and painterly brushstroke tones to heighten stylistic intensity. Both outputs share the same source image and the same set of constraints, making it easy for developers to compare how prompt wording affects detail fidelity and style drift. Applicable scenarios include validating beautification and stylization features in portrait applications, character consistency testing for content teams, and selecting prompt templates for fine retouching workflows.

A single-source image-to-image portrait style re-rendering demo, presented in a vertical 4:5 medium close-up composition. Composition: head-and-shoulders framing, subject centered with a little breathing room, clean uncluttered light gray background. Realistic direction—natural skin texture, visible pores and fine strands of hair, soft window light from the left side of the frame, gentle shadow transitions, restrained film-like color grading, shallow depth of field, 85mm lens characteristics. Artistic direction—the same pose and composition, strong side rim lighting with deep chiaroscuro, saturated teal-green and amber tones, painterly rendering with visible brushstroke texture, brushstrokes covering the face. Identity features, facial proportions, the hairline, and clothing contours must remain recognizable and consistent.
