Travel Photo to Split-Page Watercolour Journal — AI Image Prompt Guide

Pair a travel photograph with a watercolour interpretation below, preserving the same people, buildings, perspective and composition.

English translation of the public case notes.

Use a travel photograph with buildings, pedestrians and clear perspective to create a vertical editorial journal page. The top presents realistic travel photography and the bottom shows a hand-painted watercolour interpretation of the same scene. Possible uses include postcards, travel keepsakes, magazine layouts and social covers. Define the upper and lower sections before describing their separate media. Preserve the original composition, characters, architecture, poses and perspective in the painted version. Repeating that it is the exact same scene helps make this relationship explicit. Separate photographic treatment from watercolour treatment so the result does not become a single filter applied across the page. Position paper whitespace, small handwritten headings and thin horizontal rules deliberately. Avoid replacing the scene in the watercolour section, moving people, distorting architectural proportions, oversized headings, page frames and cluttered decoration.

🔍 细节怎么控｜旅行照片变水彩手账本期是文生图 / 图像编辑。别只看效果，核心在于：这个案例适合学习参考图控制：同一场景被上下分区呈现为真实旅行摄影与手绘水彩。重点在保持构图、人物、建筑和透视一致，适合旅行纪念、明信片、杂志版式和社交封面。写法拆解：类型：图生图输入：一张旅行场景参考照片，最好包含建筑、行人和明确透视目标：生成上半部真实旅行摄影、下半部同场景水彩插画的竖版编辑式作品关键词：欧洲旅行 / 上下分区 / 电影感摄影 / 手绘水彩 / 纸张留白 / 手写标题 / 明信片版式重点：先规定整体上下结构，再分别描述摄影层与水彩层，并反复强调下半部必须保留同一场景的构图、人物、建筑、姿态和透视约束：避免水彩部分改换场景、人物位置漂移、建筑比例失真、标题过大、画面边框和杂乱装饰 💡 照着做时记住三点 • 用“exact same scene”类约束锁定参考图一致性，减少上下两部分内容错位 • 把摄影质感和水彩质感分段描述，避免模型混合成单一滤镜效果 • 明确留白、手写小字和细横线的位置，让作品更像旅行手账页面而非普通拼贴 #GPTImage2 #OpenAI #AI绘画 #旅行明信片 #水彩手账 #上下分屏

基于一张参考照片，创作一幅精致的编辑式旅行艺术构图。图像垂直分为两部分：上半部分是一张真实、电影感的旅行照片，下半部分则将完全相同的场景转化为一幅细腻的手绘水彩插画。

上半部分：真实的抓拍旅行摄影，自然日光，柔和阴影，细微胶片颗粒，真实纹理，精致的欧洲氛围，纪实风格构图，人物自然地穿行于场景之中，优美的建筑细节，略微低饱和且优雅的色彩，高端旅行杂志摄影感。

下半部分：对完全相同场景进行极简手工水彩绘制，保留照片中可识别的构图、建筑、人物、姿态、透视和主要视觉元素。松散通透的水彩铺色，细腻的墨线细节，可见的纸张纹理，柔和边缘，不完美的笔触，轻微的颜料晕染，通透的留白，克制的粉彩色调，具有艺术感但保持写实。

在水彩插画周围保留充足的暖象牙白/米白色纹理纸张空间。在底部附近添加一小段优雅的手写体标题，例如“summer days”或“a quiet afternoon”，并在其下方加一条极简细横线。

整体美学：奢华旅行手账、艺术水彩明信片、当代编辑设计、怀旧的欧洲夏日、克制的优雅、可触摸的手工纸质感、精致而宁静。

竖版画幅，干净构图，高级艺术指导，无杂乱元素，无边框，自然比例，高度细节的照片过渡为通透的水彩插画。

English prompt

Create a refined editorial travel-art composition based on a reference photograph. The image is divided vertically into two parts: the upper section is a realistic cinematic travel photograph, while the lower section transforms the exact same scene into a delicate hand-painted watercolor illustration.
Upper section: authentic candid travel photography, natural daylight, soft shadows, subtle film grain, realistic textures, sophisticated European atmosphere, documentary-style composition, people naturally walking through the scene, beautiful architectural details, slightly muted elegant colors, high-end travel magazine photography.
Lower section: a minimalist handmade watercolor painting of the exact same scene, preserving the recognizable composition, architecture, people, poses, perspective and major visual elements from the photograph. Loose translucent watercolor washes, delicate ink details, visible paper texture, soft edges, imperfect brushwork, subtle pigment bleeding, airy negative space, understated pastel tones, artistic but realistic.
Leave generous warm ivory/off-white textured paper space surrounding the watercolor illustration. Add a small elegant handwritten caption near the bottom, such as “summer days” or “a quiet afternoon”, with a thin minimalist horizontal line underneath.
Overall aesthetic: luxury travel journal, fine-art watercolor postcard, contemporary editorial design, nostalgic European summer, understated elegance, tactile handmade paper, sophisticated and serene.
Portrait orientation, clean composition, premium art direction, no clutter, no borders, natural proportions, highly detailed photograph transitioning into an airy watercolor illustration.
