200 ChatGPT image codes

Thirteen detailed codes + the full two-hundred library.

From AdamHey, it's Adam. Every visual in that carousel started as a photo I already had — a flat garment shot, a dark portrait, a product on white, a black-and-white photo from 1962. One code each, no prompt writing. Here are the thirteen I showed with the full prompt behind each one, then the whole two-hundred-code library. You commented CODE, so here's the lot.

the 13 codes I showed

The 13 codes I showed 🎬

Type the code, attach the photo. The longer prompt underneath is what the code stands for — use that version when you want the shot locked instead of interpreted.

/Proshot — soft, dark, amateur photo turned pro-grade
Keep this exact person, outfit, pose and location. Re-render as if shot
on a fast prime lens by a professional: sharp true-to-life detail in the
eyes and hair, clean separation from the background, natural skin
texture kept. Lift the exposure and even out the colour. Do not change
the face, the styling or the framing.
/Hdreal — old or damaged photo restored to modern detail
Restore this photograph. Repair creases, tears, scan dust and fading.
Rebuild natural detail in faces, fabric and foliage. Add period-accurate
colour — muted, believable, nothing oversaturated. Keep every person's
real features, clothing and expression exactly as they are. Do not
modernise anything in the scene.
/Neon — flat portrait relit by coloured neon
Same person, same pose, same framing. Relight with two coloured neon
sources from opposite sides — cool blue from the left, magenta from the
right — with the room behind falling into darkness and soft out-of-focus
neon bokeh. Strong rim light along the hair and shoulder. Keep the face
naturally exposed, not blown out by the colour.
/Lifestyle — a tight portrait opened out into a full scene
Take this person and place them in a real lifestyle setting — seated at
a rooftop table at golden hour, city softly out of focus behind, a coffee
and a few styled props on the table. Wider crop, relaxed natural posture,
warm low sun from behind. Keep their exact face, hair and outfit.
/Metaads — scroll-stopping feed ad creative
Square 1:1 ad. My product large on the right against a bold dark
background with one strong accent colour. Short punchy headline top
left, three short benefit lines with small icons beneath it, clear
call-to-action button bottom left. Dramatic product lighting with a
coloured glow behind. Readable as a phone thumbnail.
/Topdown — overhead flat lay with props
Straight-down overhead shot of my product on a flat coloured surface in
a shade from its own palette. Surround it with fresh props that match
what it's made of — ice, fruit, herbs, ingredients — scattered naturally,
not arranged in a circle. Hard directional sun with crisp shadows and
real water droplets on the surface.
/Interiormakeover — dated or empty room restyled
Keep this room's exact layout, windows, doorways and proportions.
Restyle it: warm layered lighting, a considered furniture arrangement,
rug, plants and wall treatment. Evening mood with lamps and indirect
light on. Photograph it as a wide, straight-lined interior shot. Do not
move or invent walls or windows.
/Fabricmacro — tight crop on the material
Extreme close-up on this garment's fabric. Show the weave, the drape and
the stitch line in sharp detail, with raking side light across the
texture so the surface reads three-dimensional. Keep the exact colour
from my photo. Shallow depth of field, one small area in perfect focus.
/Fog — atmosphere rolled through the scene
Same scene, same framing, same lights. Add low fog and haze through the
middle distance so the far background softens and the closer elements
stay sharp. Light sources bloom gently through the mist. Cooler, damper
colour overall. Do not move or remove anything in the frame.
/Glassreflection — product on dark glass with a mirror reflection
My product on a polished dark glass surface with a clean mirror
reflection beneath it. Dark moody background with one hard shaft of
light raking across from the side, catching the edge of the product.
Keep the label, shape and colour exactly as photographed — do not
redesign the packaging.
/Together — two people from two photos, one natural frame
Combine these two photos into one portrait of both people standing
together. Match the lighting direction, colour temperature and grain
across both so they look shot at the same moment. Scale them correctly
to each other. Natural spacing and posture, simple plain backdrop. Keep
both faces exactly as they are.
/Fashioncampaign — flat garment layout styled onto a model
Take these flat-laid garments and accessories and style the complete
look on one model, photographed as an editorial campaign image. Real
location with hard directional daylight, confident seated or leaning
pose. Every piece must match my photos exactly — same cut, colour,
hardware and proportions. Nothing added, nothing substituted.
/Mannequinpremiumshowcase — restaged as a premium retail display
Restage this outfit on a glossy retail mannequin in a high-end store
window. Warm gold accent lighting, dark polished surfaces, a curved
display arch behind. Keep the garments identical to my photo — same
colour, drape, belt and accessories. Present it as a flagship-store
window display, shot at eye level.
