UNIVERSAL MASTER PROMPT — 3D POP-OUT EDITORIAL PHOTO COLLAGE Transform the uploaded image into a premium, photorealistic 3D pop-out editorial collage inspired by luxury magazines, modern photography portfolios, minimalist art direction, and high-end print design. UNIVERSAL IMAGE COMPATIBILITY: This prompt must adapt naturally to any uploaded photograph, including portraits, men, women, couples, groups, children, pets, flowers, plants, trekking, mountains, landscapes, travel, fashion, vehicles, architecture, food, and everyday objects. Automatically identify the main subject and important foreground elements in the uploaded image, then adapt the composition to suit that specific photograph. Do not force any subject, pose, object, or visual element that does not exist in the original image. CANVAS AND BACKGROUND: Create a strict vertical 3:4 portrait canvas with a warm ivory or soft off-white background, subtle premium paper texture, and generous negative space. Use a clean, contemporary editorial layout with balanced asymmetry and refined minimalist styling. CENTRAL PHOTO FRAME: Place a large, clean-edged rectangular crop of the original photograph near the center of the canvas, slightly above the middle. Preserve the original scene, environment, colors, lighting, and recognizable details inside the frame. Choose the crop intelligently according to the image orientation and subject placement. Keep the main subject fully recognizable and avoid cutting off important facial features, body parts, or defining details. NATURAL 3D POP-OUT EFFECT: Create a realistic depth illusion by allowing the main subject or suitable foreground elements to extend naturally beyond one or more edges of the rectangular photo frame. For people, the head, shoulders, arms, hands, or body may overlap the frame edges where anatomically and compositionally appropriate. For animals, use the head, paws, or body contours. For flowers and plants, allow petals, leaves, or stems to extend beyond the frame. For landscapes, trekking, travel, vehicles, architecture, and objects, use naturally positioned foreground elements that create believable depth. The effect must look like a real photograph physically layered over a printed image, not a pasted cutout or an artificial 3D render. If no suitable element can extend beyond the frame without damaging the composition, create a subtle and elegant depth effect using realistic layering and shadows instead. STRICT ORIGINAL IMAGE PRESERVATION: Use the uploaded photograph as the primary and authoritative visual reference. Preserve the original subject's identity, facial features, expression, hairstyle, skin tone, body proportions, pose, clothing, accessories, colors, and distinctive characteristics. For non-human subjects and scenery, preserve their original appearance, shapes, textures, colors, and defining details. Do not replace, redesign, beautify, stylize, duplicate, or invent the subject. Do not introduce additional people, animals, objects, scenery, or background elements that were not present in the original photograph. Keep the source image recognizable and authentic. REALISTIC DEPTH AND SHADOWS: Add soft, physically believable contact shadows beneath the photo frame and around the elements extending beyond it. Use subtle ambient occlusion, natural edge separation, realistic photographic cutout contours, and restrained dimensional layering. Ensure that all shadows follow the original lighting direction. Avoid floating elements, exaggerated depth, thick artificial outlines, and excessive drop shadows. COLOR AND ART DIRECTION: Use a sophisticated palette of warm ivory, soft beige, muted earthy tones, and restrained neutral accents. Retain the original photograph's natural colors and atmosphere. Apply only subtle tonal refinement and delicate film grain where appropriate. The result should resemble a premium travel magazine, fashion editorial, lifestyle photography portfolio, or luxury printed photo artwork. COMPOSITION AND SUBJECT ADAPTATION: Automatically adjust the frame placement, crop, overlap direction, and negative space to suit the uploaded image. Keep the primary subject as the clear focal point. Maintain realistic proportions, natural edges, visual balance, and a clean composition. Never force a person's body, an animal, a flower, or an object to extend beyond the frame in an unnatural way. PHOTOREALISM AND QUALITY: Ultra-photorealistic photography, detailed original textures, realistic edges, accurate colors, natural lighting, believable shadows, premium print aesthetic, subtle paper grain, refined editorial composition, and high-resolution finish. The final result must look professionally art-directed while retaining the authentic appearance of the original photograph. STRICT NEGATIVE PROMPT: Altered identity, changed face, different person, beautified face, distorted anatomy, changed body proportions, unnatural pose, duplicated subject, extra people, extra animals, invented objects, missing original details, cropped important features, deformed hands, extra fingers, artificial cutout edges, thick outlines, floating elements, exaggerated 3D effects, unrealistic shadows, mismatched lighting, plastic textures, excessive glow, oversaturation, harsh HDR, cartoon, anime, illustration, obvious CGI, cluttered layout, excessive decorations, text, typography, logos, watermarks, borders that obscure the subject, landscape canvas, square canvas, incorrect aspect ratio. FINAL PRIORITY: First preserve the original image and the identity of every subject. Second create a natural, realistic 3D pop-out effect that suits the specific photograph. Third maintain a premium minimalist editorial composition with a warm ivory background and strict 3:4 vertical canvas. Adapt intelligently to every image type without inventing content or compromising authenticity.
