How can I transfer the style of one photo to another using AI?
Short answer: Use Nightjar's multi‑image style transfer. Upload a reference image (the look you love) and a target image, then ask the editor to match color grading, contrast, and texture. Refine in plain English.
Do it in Nightjar (step‑by‑step)
- Open Studio → choose
Edit Images
. - Upload two images:
- Image 1: reference style (color grading, contrast, grain)
- Image 2: the photo to restyle (product or fashion)
- In Special requests, type: "Match the overall style of image 1 on image 2—color palette, contrast curve, white balance, and grain."
- If needed, add specifics: "preserve product brand colors," "keep skin tones natural," "gentle film grain only."
- Generate. Review at 100% zoom for color fidelity and texture.
- Refine in natural language: "slightly warmer midtones," "reduce highlights by 10%," "subtle vignette," "no teal in shadows."
Fashion and product recommendations
- Products: pair with
Listing/Clean
orLuxury/Premium
to keep the restyling commercial and realistic. - Fashion: combine style transfer with a photography style like
Editorial/Magazine
orLifestyle
for consistent lookbooks. - Protect brand colors: explicitly request "retain brand red/blue exactness."
Troubleshooting
- Colors drift from brand palette: "lock packaging color accuracy; adjust environment only."
- Skin tones look off: "maintain natural skin tones; apply grading to environment only."
- Result feels over‑processed: "reduce effect intensity; minimal grain; neutral contrast."
