Professional image creation with multiple AI models.\"\n---\n# Image Generation - AI Image Creation Powered by CellCog\n\nCreate professional images with AI - from single images to consistent character sets to product photography.\n\n## How to Use\n\nUse the CellCog tools from this plugin's connector (`https://cellcog.ai/mcp`). The first time a tool runs, the user signs in with their CellCog account and clicks Approve.\n\n1. `cellcog_chat_create` with the brief as `prompt` (optionally `chat_mode` and `chat_tier`). It returns a chat id at once; the work runs in the background.\n2. Poll `cellcog_get_result` with that `chat_id` about once a minute. While it runs you get progress notes; when `complete` is true you get the final message and file links (valid 30 days), with previews of images and PDF pages.\n3. To iterate, `cellcog_chat_send` into the same chat. For files on the user's computer, open `cellcog_upload` and pass `upload:<upload_id>` in `attachments`; public https links can go in `attachments` directly.\n\nFor files, modes and tiers in depth, read the **cellcog** skill.\n\n---\n\n## Choosing Mode & Tier\n\n| Scenario | Recommended |\n|----------|-------------|\n| Single images, edits, small sets | `chat_mode=\"agent\"` (defaults to the `\"core\"` tier) |\n| Brand-critical campaigns, large coordinated sets | `chat_mode=\"agent\", chat_tier=\"max\"` |\n\n**The core tier is the default and handles most image generation well**, balanced speed and depth. **Upgrade to `chat_tier=\"max\"`** when quality disappoints or the work is genuinely complex: just re-run the same prompt with `chat_tier=\"max\"`.\n\nAgent Team (`chat_mode=\"team\"`) is reserved for deep research — don't use it for image generation.\n\n## What Images You Can Create\n\n### Single Image Creation\n\nGenerate any image from a text description:\n\n- **Scenes**: \"A cozy coffee shop interior with morning light streaming through windows\"\n- **Portraits**: \"Professional headshot of a confident woman in business attire\"\n- **Products**: \"Minimalist product shot of a white sneaker on a marble surface\"\n- **Abstract**: \"Geometric abstract art in navy and gold\"\n- **Nature**: \"Misty mountain landscape at sunrise with a lone hiker\"\n\n### Image Editing\n\nTransform existing images:\n\n- **Style Transfer**: \"Transform this photo into a watercolor painting\"\n- **Background Removal**: \"Remove the background and place on a clean white backdrop\"\n- **Enhancement**: \"Enhance the colors and add dramatic lighting\"\n- **Modification**: \"Change the person's outfit to a red dress\"\n\n### Consistent Characters\n\nCreate multiple images of the same character in different scenarios:\n\n- **Character Series**: \"Create a tech entrepreneur character, then show them: 1) At their desk coding, 2) Presenting to investors, 3) Celebrating a product launch\"\n- **Mascot Variations**: \"Design a friendly robot mascot, then create versions for: welcome page, error page, success message, loading screen\"\n- **Story Sequences**: \"Create a main character, then illustrate them in 5 scenes of a journey\"\n\nThis is powerful for:\n- Comic strips and storyboards\n- Marketing campaigns with consistent characters\n- Video frame generation\n- Brand mascots across contexts\n\n### Product Photography Style\n\nProfessional product visuals:\n\n- **Hero Shots**: \"Product hero shot of a smartwatch on a gradient background\"\n- **Lifestyle Shots**: \"Smartphone being used by a person in a modern living room\"\n- **Flat Lays**: \"Flat lay of skincare products with botanical elements\"\n- **360 Views**: \"Multiple angles of a leather handbag - front, side, back, detail\"\n\n### Sets of Related Images\n\nMultiple cohesive images for campaigns or collections:\n\n- **Social Media Sets**: \"5 Instagram post images for a fitness brand - consistent style, varied content\"\n- **Website Heroes**: \"3 hero images for a SaaS landing page - professional, modern, tech-focused\"\n- **Ad Variations**: \"4 versions of a product ad with different backgrounds and moods\"\n- **Blog Illustrations**: \"Set of 6 illustrations for a blog post about productivity tips\"\n\n### Reference-Based Generation\n\nUse existing images as references for style, character, or composition:\n\n- **Style Matching**: \"Create a new image in the same artistic style as this reference\"\n- **Character Consistency**: \"Using this person as reference, create a new scene with them hiking\"\n- **Brand Alignment**: \"Create product images matching this brand's visual style\"\n- **Composition Reference**: \"Create a similar composition but with different subjects\"\n\n---\n\n## Image Specifications\n\n| Aspect | Options |\n|--------|---------|\n| **Aspect Ratios** | 1:1 (square), 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 3:2, 2:3, 21:9 |\n| **Sizes** | 1K (~1024px), 2K (~2048px), 4K (~4096px) |\n| **Styles** | Photorealistic, illustration, watercolor, oil painting, anime, digital art, vector |\n| **Formats** | PNG (default) |\n\n**Size recommendations:**\n- **1K**: Quick iterations, thumbnails, social media posts, drafts\n- **2K**: Standard web content, presentations, marketing materials\n- **4K**: Hero images, print materials, final deliverables where detail matters\n\n---\n\n\n## Example Image Prompts\n\n**Professional headshot:**\n> \"Create a professional headshot of a friendly Asian woman in her 30s, wearing a navy blazer, soft studio lighting, neutral gray background, confident but approachable expression. 1:1 square, 2K quality, photorealistic.\"\n\n**Product photography:**\n> \"Product shot of a premium wireless earbuds case, matte black finish, on a reflective dark surface with subtle blue accent lighting.

Keep the composition and elements but apply the characteristic Ghibli warmth, soft clouds, and whimsical details.\"\n\n---\n\n## Tips for Better Images\n\n1. **Be descriptive**: \"Woman in office\" is vague. \"Confident woman in her 40s, silver blazer, modern glass-walled office, warm afternoon light\" is better.\n\n2. **Specify style**: \"Photorealistic\", \"digital illustration\", \"watercolor\", \"minimalist vector\".\n\n3. **Describe lighting**: \"Soft natural light\", \"dramatic side lighting\", \"golden hour glow\", \"studio lighting\".\n\n4. **Include mood**: \"Professional and confident\", \"warm and inviting\", \"energetic and vibrant\".\n\n5. **Mention composition**: \"Rule of thirds\", \"centered symmetry\", \"close-up\", \"wide establishing shot\".\n\n6. **For consistency**: When creating character series, describe the character in detail first, then reference \"the same character\" in subsequent prompts.\n"
