What Seedream 4.5 does well
Specify text as part of the composition
Put exact words in quotation marks and explain their intended position. The photograph and lettering need to share a layout rather than compete for the same space. Review the wording at the size it will actually be read, even when the large image looks convincing.
Name the product's protected details
When moving an object into a new scene, identify it as the anchor and describe the new surface, atmosphere and light. Check the outline, label and material against the source. A more dramatic setting is useful only if the object still communicates what your brief intended.
Build a reference set with distinct jobs
Fourteen sources are possible, but the prompt should explain what each contributes. Keep the roles concrete: object, setting, palette or another visible ingredient. Remove references that repeat information or suggest contradictory compositions before making the written brief longer.

Real outputs with the exact prompt we used, and why it worked. Hit Recreate to try the same settings.
An arctic explorer in a red parka standing on an ice ridge under the green aurora, breath visible in the cold air, starry sky, wide cinematic shot, photorealistic
The red parka establishes the explorer against ice and a green aurora. Visible breath supports the cold setting, while a wide shot lets the sky remain important. This prompt combines atmosphere and subject contrast without needing text or extra people; use it to study how a strong color choice organizes a large scene.
RecreateKeep the bottle exactly as it is. Place it on a wet black stone in a misty forest at dawn with soft rim light.
The bottle is explicitly preserved, then placed on wet black stone in a misty forest at dawn. Rim light gives the object a way to stand apart from the surroundings. Compare the protected bottle details before judging the forest, because the new location is only one half of the edit.
RecreateA luxury perfume bottle standing among fresh peonies and morning dew, pale pink and gold palette, soft studio light, high-end beauty advertising photo
Peonies, morning dew and a pink-and-gold palette support the perfume-bottle advertisement. Soft studio light identifies the photographic treatment even though botanical elements surround the product. The prompt's ingredients agree on a single direction; adding a second unrelated mood would make that direction harder to evaluate.
