What makes PRO different

PRO is not the general-purpose Image API with a longer prompt. It is a model-led photographic production system.

Identity source

Select either a curated Ruwana Model or a private saved Custom Model. The selected model owns identity; product and scene references remain separate production inputs.

Reference fidelity

Each visual reference should have a clear production role and explicit details that matter: garment construction, product shape, texture, proportion, color relationships or other hero attributes.

Photographic direction

Direct the commercial objective, scene and action, styling, model performance, lighting, composition and camera intent as one coherent shoot brief.

Within the live Image API

Creative

Use prompt-only generation or 1–16 visual references when composition and visual guidance matter.

Image implementation →

Product

Use exactly one product reference for product-focused generation while preserving an explicit product source.

Product capability →

Polish

Use exactly one source image when the task is refinement rather than a new visual concept.

Polish capability →

Choose the right production contract.

Use Quickstart for shared API fundamentals, PRO for directed photography and Video for cinematic production controls.
