Krea AI: Uploading and manipulating image prompts

Krea AI Try it →Watch full video →The Architeacher · Jan 2025

Demo summary

The user uploads an external image to Krea.ai to act as a visual influence and demonstrates how to move and layer it on the canvas to guide the AI output.

Step-by-step

Upload an image to the canvas to use as a visual prompt
Position and stretch the image to guide the AI's interpretation
Update the text prompt to describe the specific elements of the uploaded image
Right-click the image and select 'Bring to front' to adjust layering
Move the image around the canvas to see real-time variations in the output

Options

Incorporate past work as a visual influence
Adjust the influence of the image by resizing or repositioning it

Watch out for

The AI may struggle to interpret images with white backgrounds when mixed with conflicting text prompts (e.g., a forest)

Tips

Use specific descriptive terms like 'concrete wishbone geometry' to help the AI interpret the uploaded image
Try using a blank canvas if the AI is having trouble navigating the background of your uploaded image

Highlights

“it's going to do its best to try to interpret what this image is in relation to what you've told it here”
