Product campaigns
Use one clear product photo to define its shape and material. Describe the setting, lighting and space for campaign text. Compare Pro and Flash with the same brief.
Seedream prompt libraryPosters and information layouts
Specify exact headline text, line order and placement. Start with a short bilingual message, then refine spacing and contrast. Explore the Seedream prompt library for layout ideas.
Seedream prompt libraryReference-guided compositions
Assign each image a role: subject, setting or style. Pro and Flash accept up to 10 references on this route; Lite accepts up to 14. Keep instructions consistent across the inputs.
Seedream prompt libraryKeep the brief, change the version
Choose a version, upload the same source images and describe one clear deliverable. Select the available ratio and resolution, check the credit estimate, then compare results before changing your prompt.
Image LayersChoosing a Seedream model
What does the Seedream family include?
Seedream is ByteDance’s image generation and editing family. PixMind has routes for 5.0 Pro, 5.0 Flash, 5.0 Lite, 4.5 and 4.0 in the verified workspace. This hub brings their inputs, output controls and version links together.
Should I start with Flash, Pro or Lite?
Start with Pro when image quality is your main priority, Flash when you want lower-cost visual exploration and repeated edits, or Lite when you want to continue a Lite workflow or work with up to 14 reference images. Compare the same brief rather than changing every input at once.
How many reference images can I use?
The checked PixMind routes allow up to 10 reference images for Pro, Flash, 4.5 and 4.0, and up to 14 for Lite. More references are useful only when their roles are clear. Identify which image defines the subject, composition or style.
Which versions offer 4K in the workspace?
The checked 4.5 route lists 2K and 4K; 4.0 lists 1K, 2K and 4K. Pro and Flash list 1K, 1.5K and 2K, while Lite lists 2K and 3K. Do not carry a resolution claim from one version over to another.
Why do credit estimates differ between versions?
Each model has its own pricing item and resolution rates. On the checked route, Flash uses 35 credits for 1K or 1.5K and 50 for 2K; Pro uses 70 and 150 respectively. Pro and Flash add 10 credits per reference image. Review the total estimate after selecting the version and adding references.
Can I reuse a prompt across the family?
Yes. Keep the subject, composition, lighting and exact poster text unchanged for an initial comparison. Then adapt the prompt to the selected version. When using several reference images, state what each image contributes and what must stay consistent.
What should I do if an edit changes too much?
Use the original image again, request one change and list the details to preserve. Remove conflicting references and separate background, color and text edits into different passes. Compare each revision with the same source image.
Is layer decomposition included in ordinary image generation?
Layer decomposition is a separate workflow and has separate pricing. A version supporting image editing does not mean a normal image task produces editable layers. Open the Image Layers tool and check its selected model and per-layer estimate for that task.
How can I keep a product or person consistent across a campaign?
Use clear reference photos you have permission to edit, reuse the same subject image and describe the details that should remain fixed. Change the scene or crop separately. For product imagery, compare the silhouette, packaging text and colors with your source photo between revisions.
Choose a version. Make the next image.
Start with Pro, explore with Flash or continue your existing Seedream workflow. Keep the source images and brief ready for the first generation.
