Consistent character editing

Modify an AI character without changing the face

A consistent character is valuable only if it keeps looking like the same person. Image Layered helps separate protected identity elements from editable scene elements.

Problem

Full regeneration can subtly change the face, eyes, hairstyle, body, and art direction. Those small differences add up across a series.

Image Layered

Separate face, hair, clothing, body, background, props, and lighting. Then edit the allowed layer while using the original face as a reference anchor.

Identity-aware workflow

1. Upload the base character image.

2. Generate layers for face, hair, clothing, body, background, props, and lighting.

3. Keep identity layers visible and edit only the target layer.

4. Export a new version that still reads as the same character.

Useful for

Anime and avatar creators.
Recurring social characters.
Brand mascots and campaign characters.
Storyboards and thumbnail series.

Prompt examples

"Keep the face identical and change only the background to rainy Tokyo at night."
"Preserve the same character and replace the outfit with a black hoodie."
"Add cinematic rim lighting without changing the face or pose."

FAQ

Is this better than prompting the same character again?

For small revisions, starting from the existing image and editing layers is usually more controlled than generating a new image.

Can I protect the face layer?

Yes. The intended workflow is to keep identity layers separate and avoid editing them unless necessary.
