5 Krea 3 Prompts That Keep Your Product Exactly As It Is

The five prompts I used with Krea 3, and the way Krea says to write them, so your product photo changes only where you ask.

So in the reel I showed Krea 3, the new image editing model Krea released on 15 October. Krea says most edits come back in under 8 seconds, and the bit I care about is that it leaves the rest of the photo alone. These are the prompts I used, in the order I'd run them on your own product photo.

Where to run it

Go to krea.ai and open Krea 3 at krea.ai/image/k3-edit. The free plan gives you 100 units a day and includes Krea 3. Krea 3 Ultra, the bigger version, needs the Max plan.

Past your free allowance, Krea lists Krea 3 at $0.06 an image at 2K and $0.03 at 1K. Every image comes out at native 2K.

How Krea says to write them

  • Start with what stays. Krea's own advice is that "Keep the product exactly as it is" works, and it helps to name what matters, like the label or the logo.
  • Then describe the change like a photographer would. The scene, the light, the camera angle.
  • Use "only" when the edit should touch one thing. "Change only the cap" gets you a different result from "change the cap".

Use a photo of your own product, shot plain on a desk or a white sheet. Keep other brands' logos out of the frame.

1. A new scene, same product

New scene
Keep the product exactly as it is, including the label and the logo. Put it on a marble kitchen counter in soft morning light, shot from slightly above.

Swap the counter and the light for whatever fits your brand. The first sentence is the part that keeps your packaging from drifting.

2. Change one area with a box

Draw a box over the background first, then:

One area
Replace only what's inside the box with a cobalt-blue studio backdrop. Keep the product and its shadow as they are.

Krea 3 redraws inside the box and leaves the rest of the image as it was, so this is the one to use when the product shot is right and only the backdrop isn't.

3. An exact colour

Exact colour
Change only the bottle cap to #FFC12E. Keep everything else exactly as it is.

Put your own brand colour's hex code in. Krea says it matches the hex on the product and only on the product, which is handy when you sell the same item in five colours and only photographed one.

4. Clean up the shot

Clean-up
Remove only the cable behind the product. Keep the light and the reflections the same.

Name the one thing that shouldn't be there. Asking it to keep the light and the reflections stops it from relighting the whole photo.

5. A lifestyle shot

Lifestyle
Keep the product exactly as it is. Put it in someone's hand at a busy street market at golden hour, with a shallow depth of field.

This is the closest thing to a campaign photo from one packshot. Run it a few times with different places and pick the best.

Make it yours

Here's the shape all five follow. Fill in the three lines and paste it in:

Your prompt
Keep the product exactly as it is, including the label and the logo. Change only the part below, and keep everything else the same.

Product:
Change:
Light and camera:

Because each edit comes back quickly, don't stop at the first one. Run five versions of the same idea and keep the best.
