Use Reference Images
Reference images provide visual guidance. They are optional, and the section only appears for a model that supports them. Generation works without references.
The limit varies by model
Different models allow different numbers of reference images, and some accept none. When the section is visible, its heading states the current limit. If it is absent, switch to a model that supports references first.
When you switch models, uploaded references beyond the new limit are removed automatically. If the new model does not support references, the existing set is cleared. The page does not show a confirmation for every trim.
If you plan to switch models and want to keep specific references, switch first and upload afterwards.
Uploading
Choose Local Upload in Reference Images to select one or more files. Files beyond the remaining slots are not added. Wait for uploading to finish, then check the thumbnails and their numbered order.
You can also choose From Asset Library, search by name or filter by storyboard, character, scene, or prop, then confirm your selection. Assets already added are excluded from the candidate list.
Select an available thumbnail to enlarge it. Hover over an image and use its remove button to discard it. References are submitted in the displayed order, so check the numbers before describing “the first reference image.”
Reference images are saved into the local draft and restored the next time you open the page.
Reusing from history
Choosing “Reuse Parameters” on a task in the history list brings that task's reference images back into the parameter panel.
Reuse restores the historical task's model first, then trims references to that model's current limit. An unavailable old model may fall back to an available one; check the selected model and retained images again.
Usage tips
- Describe what to borrow from the references, such as character appearance, composition, or colors, and what you want the new image to show.
- References guide a new generation. To enlarge an existing image, use Image Enhancement.
- The local draft remembers uploaded image references. If the original file or link becomes unavailable, upload it again or select the asset again.
