Show the authorized input and its actual generated output under comparable display conditions. Label them clearly and explain any additional editing. A before-and-after example should demonstrate a specific creative transformation, not manufacture a claim that every user will receive the selected result.
Decide what the comparison is proving
A style transformation can legitimately change composition, color and materials. A retouching comparison usually needs closer framing consistency so viewers can assess the change. Define the question before arranging the panels: is this a new creative interpretation, a repair or a change in presentation?
Do not make the input artificially dark, blurred or poorly cropped to strengthen the impression of improvement. Preserve the actual source and identify any preparation step. For a generated example involving a fictional adult, say so rather than presenting it as an unsolicited customer testimonial.
Match the display without concealing real differences
Give both panels comparable space and legible labels. If their aspect ratios differ, use a layout that shows the complete images rather than silently cutting off important content. For a close detail, identify the crop and use the same region in both panels where a meaningful comparison is possible.
| Comparison type | Appropriate display | Important caveat |
|---|---|---|
| Creative Skill effect | Complete input beside complete output | Composition may intentionally change |
| Local repair | Matched region plus full-image context | Other regions also need review |
| Portrait styling | Clear face and approved source | Generated likeness is not guaranteed |
| Print concept | Flat artwork plus labeled mockup | Mockup is not a production proof |
Promo comparison brief: show the authorized city photograph next to its actual generated collage result. Keep both images fully visible, label input and output, and state that this is a selected example from the named Skill. Do not add an unsupported speed, success-rate or quality guarantee.
Preserve a small evidence record
For examples from Imagild Image Skill Market, record the chosen Skill, the authorized source and the approved result. Keep any added prompt or external finishing note privately with the project. You do not need to publish personal source metadata to make a clear comparison.
If several attempts were made and you choose one, describe it as a selected result where that distinction matters. Do not present a montage of unrelated before and after images as if each pair came from the demonstrated workflow. A real relationship between the panels is more useful than an exaggerated claim.
Review the promotional wording alongside the images
Words such as “automatic,” “instant,” “exact” and “every time” can imply more than the example establishes. Replace them with a description of the visible transformation and the actual user steps. Explain when subtitles, print typography or video assembly were completed in another tool.
Make labels understandable without narration. A muted autoplay clip should still identify the input and the generated output. In a fast social edit, hold the comparison long enough to see the difference. Flashing an impressive result for a fraction of a second is poor evidence of what changed.
Can I adjust brightness so the two panels look balanced?
You can make an openly described presentation adjustment, but do not degrade the input or hide relevant output defects. Preserve the source files and distinguish display preparation from the transformation being demonstrated.
Does one excellent example prove the tool's overall success rate?
No. It illustrates that selected outcome. A general performance claim needs a defined evaluation and representative evidence. Use promotional examples to explain possibilities and workflow, not to imply measured reliability that has not been established.
