How to use references

Give each reference a role: product shape, palette, layout, style or text hierarchy. Keep the prompt explicit about what to preserve.

When to move to Uni-1 Max

How to write a strong Uni-1 prompt

Treat the prompt like a still-image creative brief: artifact, subject, layout, references and constraints.

Tip: name the role of every reference image.

How Luma Uni-1 uses references

Text-to-image

Describe the artifact, subject, layout, visual style, aspect ratio and any text that needs review.

Source edit

Upload one source image, then separate preserve instructions from changes.

Multi-reference layout

Use references to anchor subject, style, palette and composition instead of asking one prompt to carry everything.

Web-grounded visual research

Enable web search only when recent visual context is useful and still verify the result.

Handoff to video

Save the clearest still as a start image when the next step is motion in a video model.

Global principles

Keep one clear visual goal per request.
Separate preserve and change instructions for edits.
Use web search only when the brief needs current context.

Engine quirks / what to watch for

Reference roles help the image route reason about layout and identity.
Reviewing typography keeps final assets conservative and production-safe.
A clean still can become stronger source material for later motion.
