Combine Several Pictures into One Image with AI
You often have the right ingredients but in separate photos: a product shot, a picture of a room, a portrait of the owner. To combine several pictures into one image with AI, you attach them to your prompt and describe how they should come together. This article explains what to attach, what to write, and where it goes wrong.
How it works
In Melon Cut Design, you can attach photos to a prompt. Several attached pictures can be combined into one image, and each attached picture is a reference for the new one. The new picture is not a cut-and-paste of the originals. It is a fresh image that takes what it needs from each reference, guided by your words.
That means your description matters as much as your photos. Say what to take from each picture.
Name the role of each picture
If you attach three photos, say what each one is for.
Use the first picture for the product (the green ceramic vase). Use the second for the setting (the sunny kitchen). Use the third for the style of lighting. Make one square image of the vase on the kitchen counter in that soft light.
Without roles, the result is a guess.
Useful combinations
Product in a scene
One photo of the product, one of a place. The goal is the product shown in that place. See also Put Your Product in a New Scene with AI.
Person and place
A portrait of a team member and a picture of the shop front. Ask for the person standing in front of the shop, in the same clothes and with the same face.
Combine the attached portrait of the owner with the attached photo of the bakery entrance. Show her standing in the doorway, smiling, early morning light, portrait format.
Check likeness with care, and make sure you have the right to use anyone's image.
Collage of several items
Attach pictures of three products and ask for a tidy arrangement.
Arrange the three attached candles in a row on a pale stone shelf, evenly spaced, with the same soft daylight. Square image. Keep each candle's shape and label colour as in the photos.
Mood and subject
Attach one photo for what is in the picture and another that shows the feeling you want: a colour palette, a light, a texture. Say so in plain words: "use the second only for the colour and mood".
Make your photos work harder
- Use clear, well-lit photos. A blurry reference gives a vague result.
- Keep the main subject large in each picture.
- Remove clutter from photos before you attach them if you can.
- Do not attach more than you need. Two or three well-chosen pictures are easier to direct than a pile.
Check the result
Look at the details that matter: logos, labels, hands, fingers, text on packaging, and the exact colour of the product. A combined image may change small things. If the product must be exact, use it as a Model in your brand and name it with @, which is designed for things that must stay the same. See Keep the Same Product in Every AI Image.
