Prompt breakdown

What this specific prompt locks in, read directly from its text. Nothing here is a generic template — each value below comes from the words in the prompt.

Model: Nanobanana
Opening instruction: “Use this image as the sole and exact source for scene layout, object placement, and composition.”
Reference photo: Required — the prompt edits an uploaded image.
Placeholders: None — the prompt is ready to paste as written.

What this prompt asks you to preserve

These clauses are what stop the edit from changing the subject. Keep them in the prompt when you customise it.

“Do not reinterpret or replace the scene.”

Where to modify this prompt

The editor guide pinpoints the clauses that carry the subject, style and framing. Change these first.

Subject or product
Use this image as the sole and exact source for scene layout, object placement
Replace it with your own subject, product or character, and keep the camera and lighting clauses unchanged.

How to use this prompt

1Open Nanobanana in the image tool you already use.
2Upload the reference photo first. This prompt opens with “Use this image as the sole and exact source for scene layout, object placement, and composition.”, so the subject is expected to come from that image.
3Paste the prompt exactly as written. Do not summarise it: the ordering of the clauses is what keeps the composition stable.
4Generate once, then change a single phrase per attempt. Start with the subject clause rather than rewriting the whole prompt.

What to change first

Keep the preservation clauses intact, starting with “Do not reinterpret or replace the scene.”. Those are what stop the edit from changing the subject.
The opening clause — “Use this image as the sole and exact source for scene layout, object placement, and composition.” — fixes the subject; the rest is styling. Swap the subject and the style stays; swap the style words and the subject stays.

Notes for Nanobanana

Nanobanana works best when the reference image and the edit instruction are kept close together.
