Flare: change a product background

Original image

Blue ceramic cup on a warm ivory background
View original prompt

Studio product photograph of one cobalt blue ceramic coffee cup with a smooth curved handle, centered on a pale ivory seamless background and matching tabletop. Soft natural window lighting from the left, delicate contact shadow, realistic ceramic glaze texture, clean premium editorial composition, no writing, no logo, no extra objects.

After editing

View original prompt

Change only the ivory background and tabletop to a soft pastel peach color. Preserve the exact cobalt blue ceramic cup, its handle, shape, position, glaze texture, lighting direction and delicate shadow. Keep the photograph realistic. Add no text or objects.

Sunburst: new colors, same headline

Original image

WEEKEND STUDIO poster in cream, coral and blue
View original prompt

Create a polished square graphic design poster. The exact headline WEEKEND STUDIO is set in large crisp bold black sans-serif typography, WEEKEND on the first line and STUDIO on the second. Warm cream background with a simple coral red circle and two cobalt blue geometric rectangles arranged below the headline. Spacious balanced modern print composition, precise edges. Only the exact words WEEKEND STUDIO, no other text, no logos, no watermark.

After editing

WEEKEND STUDIO poster in mint, violet and orange
View original prompt

Recolor this poster while preserving its exact layout and the exact headline WEEKEND STUDIO with identical legible typography. Change the warm cream background to very pale mint, coral circle to deep violet, and cobalt blue rectangles to warm orange. Keep the headline black. Do not add, remove or alter any letters or shapes.

Generation time
We haven’t timed GPT Image 2 and 2.5 under the same conditions.OpenAI reports 50% lower latency for Flare than GPT Image 2. Sunburst may take longer; wait times vary by task and queue.

All prices shown are in Vivify credits. GPT Image 2 is priced by resolution; 2.5 by quality, aspect ratio and references. The available settings differ, so consider the resolution and editing results you need.

Our four 1K, medium-quality example runs each took about 20–22 seconds, from submission through image processing. Each variant and mode was tested once with a different prompt, so these timings don’t establish which is faster.
