GPT Image 1

  • + Successfully integrated the coat and scarf with natural-looking shadows.
  • + Maintains high facial and hair consistency with the source image person.
  • Missed the sunglasses and the gold watch from Image 2.
  • Changed the background composition significantly, losing the wooden structure and sand details.

Seedream 5.0 Lite

  • + Excellent adherence to all outfit details, including the sunglasses, scarf, ring, and gold watch.
  • + Near-perfect preservation of the background and wooden structure from Image 1.
  • + High fidelity to the original person's facial features and vitiligo patterns.
  • The sunglasses are slightly misaligned with the eyes.
  • Minor clipping artifacts where the hand meets the coat pocket.

Verdict: Seedream 5.0 Lite performed significantly better on this task because it adhered to the negative constraints of keeping the background unchanged, whereas GPT Image 1 completely replaced the background. Seedream 5.0 Lite also captured all accessories including the sunglasses and watch, while GPT Image 1 only applied the main clothing items.
