How to use the prompts
Each prompt below is a self-contained recipe for one uploaded photo plus written style instructions. Use it in an image-editing tool that accepts a photo and a text prompt. No second style image is needed. In Vidream, choosing the named filter uses its preset treatment.
The gallery shows the current Vidream filter examples in a 3:4 display crop. The written recipes describe those looks; a new generation can vary in fine detail and likeness.

Refine the result
Keep the material named in the recipe consistent across the person, outfit and setting. Surface texture and lighting should work together to make the scene feel made from that material.
Do not mix a toy-like face with an unchanged photographic background unless that contrast is intentional.
Keep the same source photo when comparing recipes. Change one style instruction at a time so you can see what actually changed.
