An image from any other generator is a fine starting point.
Fix the hands and feet, add skin texture: say exactly what changes.
Keep the face, pose and background unchanged.

The number on screen is what leaves your balance, edit or not.
An r/budgetpixel guide called it a design model, strongest when the request is "make it usable". This ice cream ad came out campaign-ready, splash and all.
"It followed the scene description pretty closely on the first try," one r/ContentCreators tester wrote. The cap, tinted glasses, patterned jacket, battle axe, chained mace and ring of flying earth all made it in.
A Seedream tip on r/GenAIGallery: prompt it to add skin and facial details and "it does really well". Every lace motif shows because the prompt named it.
The creators' own prompts, word for word: run any card in one click. More in the [Seedream 5 prompt gallery](/prompts/seedream-5).
One sentence, three images folded into it: spires, bridges like ribs, a river.
A double exposure where a woman’s silhouette is filled with a sprawling, twilight cityscape spires of an ancient skyline, bridges arching like ribs, rivers flowing into the hollow of her throat
One colour for coat, fur and backdrop, then the tailoring details.
A surreal luxury portrait of a powerful gorilla dressed in an extravagant royal outfit entirely in rich golden yellow tones, standing confidently against a seamless matching yellow studio background. The gorilla wears a highly detailed tailored coat with ornate buttons, embroidered embellishments, and thick luxurious fur sleeves that blend fashion and fantasy. Its expression is calm, serious, and commanding, with realistic facial features and textured dark skin contrasting against the vibrant golden fur. Centered composition, regal posture, high fashion editorial styling, monochromatic color harmony, ultra detailed textures, cinematic studio lighting, absurd elegance, fantasy couture, modern luxury campaign aesthetic, hyper-realistic, masterpiece quality.
Hair, accessories and each clothing piece, then light and lens.
A stylish young woman with short platinum-blonde hair sitting casually against a textured concrete wall, wearing black sunglasses and large over-ear headphones. She has a modern edgy look with layered chain necklaces, a cropped black top, a metallic silver jacket, black jeans with a belt, patterned socks, and black boots. Her pose is relaxed. Moody cinematic lighting with cool teal tones, urban cyberpunk vibe, shallow depth of field, highly detailed skin and fabric textures, dramatic shadows, ultra-realistic photography, 85mm lens, high contrast, editorial fashion photography, 8k.

I tested it while changing outfits and accessories, and it maintained excellent subject consistency.
The rivals people name most, and where Lite comes out ahead.
On Kavel, Lite also reworks the photos you upload, which Pro here does not, for two thirds of Pro at Basic.
See Seedream 5.0 ProLite edits the photos you upload, which 4.5 here does not, and costs four fifths of 4.5. A tester who ran both put it plainly.
See Seedream 4.5“It is cheaper, faster and got more consistent in image editing though.”
The same price as a 1K Nano Banana 2 image. Pick Lite for posters, flyers and layouts, where a BudgetPixel guide put its strength.
Run the same prompt on Nano Banana 2“It’s strongest when your request isn’t “make it pretty,” but “make it usable””
A mockup designer uploading logos found Lite kept the exact mark.
See Nano Banana 2 Lite“Seedream 5 Lite also works correctly, Google Nano Banana 2 Lite often replaces the logo with random or similar-looking branding”

Yes. Upload the photo, or several references, and describe the change in plain words. Say what must stay, like the face or the product.
Ask for them by name: visible pores, faint freckles, subtle film grain, an 85mm lens. For a real face, upload a clear photo as a reference too.
Upload the logo or product photo and write that the mark stays exactly as uploaded. One mockup designer found it getting that job right.
Upload it and name the fix: repair the hands and feet, add skin texture, keep everything else unchanged. Each run is 20 credits.
The poster, the ad, the fixed render: it is already in your head. Paste a proven prompt or upload your photo and leave with the image for 20 credits, photo edits included. Runs that error out on our side are refunded.
