•Use up to 4 reference images
•Guide characters, objects, or styles
•Combine visual ideas in a new scene
•Describe changes in plain English

•Upload an image as a starting point
•Describe the intended change
•Explore a different setting or style
•Refine the result with another prompt

Describe materials, light, and layout

Specify surfaces, lighting, and subject placement when testing a realistic scene. Black Forest Labs highlights image detail and prompt following across the FLUX.2 family; inspect each result against your own brief.

•Specify fabric, stone, or glass textures
•Set the direction and quality of light
•Describe where subjects belong
•Test detailed scene instructions

Choose an aspect ratio and seed

Match the frame to the image you want to make, from square compositions to wide scenes. Set a seed when you want a more controlled starting point for prompt experiments.

•Choose square, portrait, or landscape
•Compose for the selected frame
•Set a seed for prompt tests
•Adjust the prompt and compare results

Recent Flux 2 Dev images shared by the BudgetPixel community.

a lushly cluttered artist’s studio bathed in the golden haze of late afternoon light streaming through a tall, slightly grimy window. The mother, a painter with her back to the viewer, stands poised at her easel, her smock streaked with vibrant watercolor stains. The easel is angled just so—allowing her to glance between her unfinished portrait and her daughter, who lounges elegantly on a plush velvet settee, its deep emerald fabric catching the light like liquid gemstones. The daughter, a vision of soft contrasts, is all golden blonde waves and piercing blue eyes, her posture relaxed yet regal, one arm draped lazily over the settee’s armrest. Half-finished canvases lean against every available surface—sketches of landscapes, abandoned portraits, and abstract experiments—their chaotic presence a testament to the artist’s restless creativity. The mother’s brush hovers mid-stroke, caught in the act of capturing not just her daughter’s likeness, but the very essence of her: the way the light kisses her cheek, the faint smirk playing on her lips, the quiet confidence of youth immortalized in pigment and paper. The air hums with the unspoken intimacy of the moment—the artist lost in her craft, the muse lost in her thoughts., (watercolor), high resolution, intricate details, 4k, wallpaper, concept art, watercolor on textured paper.

Atmospheria
STYLE: "A fusion of Alphonse Mucha+John William Waterhouse+tonalism where subjects display idealized naturalism with soft edges against atmospheric, textured backgrounds. Harmonious color schemes emphasize a dominant hue with strategic complementary accents, employing oil painting techniques that vary between smooth blending and visible brushwork to create depth and focus while preserving the essence of the original elements."
