Man and Car in California

Editing
Edit instruction

“Make a photo of the man driving the car down the California coastline”

Source

Seedream 5.0 Lite

AI Judge Analysis

P-Image Edit

  • + Excellent preservation of the car's original proportions and details.
  • + Beautifully rendered coastal background with realistic mountain hazy lighting.
  • + Good motion blur on the road and wheels.
  • The driver's identity and face are less clear compared to the source image.
  • The man's clothing from the source image is not well represented.

Seedream 5.0 Lite

  • + Excellent subject preservation, accurately keeping the man's face, hair, and distinctive clothing.
  • + Perfect placement of the driver's hands on the steering wheel.
  • + High color vibrance and clear visibility of both background and subject.
  • The transition between the car and the road/background looks slightly more 'pasted' than Model A.
  • Slight artifacting on the top edge of the car door where it meets the driver.

Verdict: While both models followed the instructions well, Seedream 5.0 Lite is the clear winner for its superior ability to preserve the identity of the person from the source image, including his facial features and clothing. P-Image Edit created a more atmospheric and integrated lighting environment, but the driver became a generic figure that only vaguely resembles the source.

Pose & Character Mashup

Editing
Edit instruction

“Use Image 1 as the exact pose reference and Image 2 as the character reference. Recreate the person/character from Image 2 in the exact dynamic pose and body position from Image 1. Keep the exact face, hair, clothing style/details, and expression from Image 2. Match the lighting and environment of Image 1. The final image must show the character from Image 2 performing the precise action/pose from Image 1 with perfect anatomy and natural integration.”

AI Judge Analysis

P-Image Edit

  • + Successfully incorporates the clothing and scarf from Image 2.
  • + Captures the facial features and sunglasses of the character well.
  • Anatomical failure with a ghost leg and mismatched skin tones between legs.
  • Confused hair styling, blending the source character's short hair with the long hair from Image 1.
  • Inconsistent clothing colors on the arms.

Seedream 5.0 Lite

  • + Excellent adherence to the character's clothing, scarf, and physical appearance.
  • + Strong anatomical coherence while maintaining the complex pose from Image 1.
  • + Natural blending of the character into the new environment and lighting.
  • Minor distortion on the hand resting on top of the red stool.
  • The extended leg in the background is slightly truncated compared to Image 1.

Verdict: Seedream 5.0 Lite is the clear winner as it successfully blends the character from Image 2 into the pose of Image 1 with high physical realism. P-Image Edit suffers from significant anatomical errors, including a third leg-like appendage and a confusing mix of long and short hair.

Outfit Transfer Challenge

Editing
Edit instruction

“Use Image 1 as the base person. Dress them in the exact elaborate outfit from Image 2 (including all layers, accessories, jewelry, and shoes). Carefully adapt the clothing to the body shape and pose in Image 1 while maintaining realistic fabric behavior, correct proportions, and perfect lighting/shadow matching. Keep the person’s exact face, hair, and background completely unchanged.”

AI Judge Analysis

P-Image Edit

  • + Successfully synthesized a full-body view that includes the jeans and shoes from Image 2.
  • + Matches the blue color and plaid scarf pattern reasonably well.
  • + Retains the vitiligo patterns on the head and face of the subject.
  • Changes the person's face significantly, losing the specific features of the original person.
  • The proportions of the body relative to the wooden structure are distorted.
  • Adds an unnecessary yellow chain and neon yellow shoelaces not present in the reference.

Seedream 5.0 Lite

  • + Maintains the original face, sand textures, and vitiligo patterns with high fidelity.
  • + Accurately replicates the sunglasses and watch from Image 2.
  • + Lighting on the clothing matches the beach environment perfectly.
  • Limited to a medium shot, so it does not show the lower half of the outfit (jeans and shoes) requested.
  • The scarf pattern is slightly simplified compared to the source.

Verdict: Seedream 5.0 Lite is the clear winner because it successfully fulfills the most difficult part of the request: keeping the person's face and hair completely unchanged while applying the new clothes. P-Image Edit fails to preserve the subject's identity, resulting in a different person, and adds non-existent accessories like the gold chain and yellow laces.

Bald man challenge

Image Editing
Edit instruction

“Give the person a full, thick head of natural hair with realistic texture, density, and a natural hairline. Preserve facial features and lighting.”

Seedream 5.0 Lite

AI Judge Analysis

P-Image Edit

  • + Successfully added a very thick head of hair as requested.
  • + Preserved the original background, clothing, and facial features perfectly.
  • The hair texture looks somewhat artificial and repetitive, appearing like an overlay.
  • The hairline is too uniform and lacks natural blending with the skin.

Seedream 5.0 Lite

  • + The hair texture and style are extremely realistic and look natural to the subject.
  • + The hairline is flawlessly integrated with the forehead and temples.
  • + The lighting on the hair perfectly matches the environmental lighting of the original image.
  • The hair is somewhat less 'thick/full' than the specific curly volume shown in Model A.

Verdict: Seedream 5.0 Lite produced a significantly more believable result, with hair that looks like it naturally belongs to the subject, featuring excellent blending and texture. While P-Image Edit followed the 'thick' prompt more literally by adding a large volume of curls, the edit looks like a pasted-on wig and lacks the seamless integration achieved by Seedream 5.0 Lite.

Over-the-top cartoon caricature

Editing
Edit instruction

“Create a caricature of me and my job. Make it exaggerated and humorous, incorporating my profession as a tv show anchor and my love for dogs and hockey.”

Source
P-Image Edit
Seedream 5.0 Lite

AI Judge Analysis

P-Image Edit

  • + Excellent integration of the hockey theme by placing the desk on a rink with players.
  • + High level of detail in the caricature style while maintaining a clear resemblance to the original person.
  • + Cleverly includes small dog-themed items on the desk.
  • The dog caricature is a bit strange, appearing to have a fleshy red structure on its back.
  • The text on the background screens is nonsensical.

Seedream 5.0 Lite

  • + Successfully incorporates all elements: hockey stick/puck, news desk, and a dog.
  • + Clean, professional illustration style that is very readable.
  • + Includes legible text on the desk nameplate.
  • The caricature feels more like a generic cartoon and loses a bit of the specific facial character of the source image.
  • The hockey stick is being held in a slightly awkward way relative to the hand position.

Verdict: P-Image Edit is the winner because it offers a much more creative and 'exaggerated' interpretation of the request, placing the anchor desk directly on a hockey rink. Seedream 5.0 Lite is very competent and clear, but its interpretation is a bit more standard, simply adding props to a studio setting.

Studio Ghibli Anime Style

Editing
Edit instruction

“Transform this photo into a Studio Ghibli–inspired illustration. Use soft pastel colors, hand-painted textures, gentle lighting, dreamy backgrounds, and a warm, nostalgic mood”

Source
P-Image Edit
Seedream 5.0 Lite

AI Judge Analysis

P-Image Edit

  • + Excellent application of soft pastel colors and dreamy backgrounds.
  • + High level of preservation for facial features and expressions while stylized.
  • + Smooth painterly textures that evoke a nostalgic mood.
  • The art style leans more toward modern digital illustration/webtoon than specifically Ghibli.
  • Background elements like the trees/sky are completely changed rather than transformed.

Seedream 5.0 Lite

  • + Perfectly captures the Studio Ghibli 'Cel' animation aesthetic.
  • + Highly accurate preservation of the original composition, including the background street scene.
  • + Faithful translation of character expressions into clean anime line work.
  • Lighting is a bit flat compared to the 'gentle lighting' requested in the prompt.
  • Colors could be slightly more 'pastel' as requested, though they match Ghibli palettes well.

Verdict: P-Image Edit creates a beautiful, painterly illustration but drifts away from the Ghibli-specific style into a more generic digital art look. Seedream 5.0 Lite captures the requested Studio Ghibli aesthetic with remarkable precision, maintaining the iconic character design style and technical 'cel' look while perfectly preserving the source image's layout and background.

Golden Hour Stroll

Image Editing
Edit instruction

“Add dynamic motion to this photo: make hair blow in the wind, add leaves flying, energetic and lively feel.”

Before After

Seedream 5.0 Lite

AI Judge Analysis

P-Image Edit

  • + Successfully captures an energetic, wind-blown effect in the hair
  • + Maintains excellent stylistic consistency with the source image
  • + Adds many flying leaves distributed throughout the scene
  • The hair edit obscures some background details like the trees
  • The leaves look a bit like confetti due to their small size

Seedream 5.0 Lite

  • + Adds large, clearly defined green leaves that match the park setting
  • + Preserves the subject's face and features perfectly
  • + Hair blowing effect is subtle and realistic
  • The motion in the hair is less 'dynamic' and 'energetic' than Image A
  • Some leaves appear to float statically rather than flying through the air

Verdict: P-Image Edit interpreted the request for 'dynamic motion' more effectively, creating a dramatic wind-blown hair effect that truly changes the mood of the image. While Seedream 5.0 Lite successfully added leaves and subtle hair movement, it felt more like a minor overlay compared to the more transformative and energetic edit provided by P-Image Edit.
