; }; Single-reference editing is the most common workflow: you provide **one input image** and describe the changes you want. FLUX.2 understands the context of your image and applies edits while preserving what you didn't ask to change. Refer to the [Image Editing Overview](/guides/prompting_editing_overview) for core concepts before diving into specific use cases. ## Example 1 ## Example 2 ## Example 3 ## Use Cases Single-reference editing covers a wide range of creative and professional tasks. Below are the most common categories with real prompt examples. *** ### Background Replacement Change or replace the background of your image while keeping the subject intact. Input: bottle product photo Output: bottle in strawberries on white background Input: subject with original background Output: subject in cozy home environment *** ### Style Transfer Transform the visual style or medium of an image — from illustration to photorealism, or from photo to painting. Input: original photo Output: oil painting style Input: architectural illustration Output: photorealistic house Input: abstract artwork Output: mountain vista transformation *** ### Object Manipulation Add, remove, or replace objects in a scene. Be specific about what should change and what should stay. Input: image with sprinkles Output: sprinkles removed Input: image with flower Output: flower replaced with lemon slice Input: gorge scene Output: goblins added to gorge wall Input: DJ scene Output: polar bear replaces DJ Input: jars with cherries Output: cherries replaced with sprinkles Input: moss-covered statues Output: clean stone statues Input: person on motorcycle Output: person on rearing black horse Input: portrait with feathers Output: portrait with rose petals *** ### Color & Material Changes Recolor specific elements or transform materials — FLUX.2 supports hex color codes for precision. Input: cow with natural colors Output: cow with custom colors Input: butterfly Output: silver butterfly Input: butterfly Output: ice butterfly *** ### Lighting, Weather & Season Changes Shift the time of day, season, or weather conditions with a simple instruction. Input: scene in original season Output: winter scene Input: daytime scene Output: nighttime scene Input: scene with original lighting Output: warm autumn lighting *** ### Text Editing Add, replace, or modify text within images — from simple swaps to full ad layouts. Input: image with original text Output: text changed to Flux.2 Input: neon sign with original text Output: neon sign with new text Input: shop scene Output: new neon sign and traffic light Input: fashion photo Output: fashion ad with text and CTA *** ### Virtual Try-On & Clothing Change outfits, add accessories, or adjust clothing colors — great for fashion and e-commerce. Input: woman in original outfit Output: woman in fuchsia dress Input: woman without jacket Output: woman with fluffy jacket and hat Input: white lace wedding dress Output: sky blue lace wedding dress *** ### Pose & Expression Changes Adjust gaze direction, body pose, or facial expressions of subjects. Input: owl with closed eyes Output: owl with open eyes Input: woman looking away Output: woman looking at camera Input: woman in casual pose Output: woman in model pose *** ## Writing Effective Single-Reference Prompts Be **specific** about what changes and **explicit** about what should stay the same. The more precise your instruction, the better the result. * "Change the shirt color to red" * "Replace the background with a sunset beach" * "Turn this into an oil painting" * "Add snow to the scene, keep everything else unchanged" * "Make it better" * "Improve the lighting" * "Make it more professional" * "Fix the image"
