Seedream 5 Flash Image to Image example
Example — generated from this input

Edit the supplied nautilus sculpture photograph. Change only the translucent amber-orange glass section into deep cobalt-blue optical glass, preserving its transparency, curved ribs and fine internal details. Keep the ivory ceramic section, spiral silhouette, object scale, camera angle and framing unchanged. Shift the studio background to a pale cool blue and replace the warm golden light with clean cool daylight. Update the glass reflections and caustics to match the blue material, with realistic contact shadows. Keep this a polished product photograph. Do not add text, logos, new objects or a split-screen layout.

Pricing

Unit price $0.027 / image

Billed by the number of images actually generated.

~37 images per $1

Each request temporarily reserves $0.027; you are charged for actual usage, usually within a minute: any unused amount is released and any usage above it is charged to your balance, even if that takes it below zero; while your balance is below zero, new requests are paused until a top-up covers it.

Failed generations are not charged.
