Change one thing in an image that already works

Limits the edit to a single change so the rest does not shift, and predicts the side effects.

Prompt
Fields to fill Current promptWhat to keepWhat to change
Change exactly one thing in this working prompt.

1. **Identify the minimal edit.** Which clause changes, and nothing else. Quote the before and after.
2. **Predict the collateral.** Changing lighting shifts the palette. Changing pose shifts the composition. Changing lens shifts the background blur. *Say what will move so I can tell an expected change from a regression.*
3. If my requested change cannot be isolated — it necessarily disturbs other attributes — say so and give the smallest set that must move together.
4. Whether the seed or equivalent should be held. Holding it keeps more; releasing it may be needed for the change to take at all.
5. What to compare between old and new output, as a short checklist.

Rules:
- *One change per iteration.* If I asked for three, do them in three passes and say so — changing three at once makes the result uninterpretable and I will not know which one did what.
- Do not rewrite or improve the parts that are working, even if the wording is awkward. Awkward and working beats elegant and different.
- If the current prompt has redundant clauses, note them but do not remove them in this pass.
After pasting, fill in the fields at the bottom (Current prompt · What to keep · What to change)

What this prompt does

Editing one detail usually returns a completely different image. This restricts the change to one variable and names what will move along with it.
