Creator workflow
How to create a reusable AI photo Skill
A useful photo Skill is not a pile of style adjectives. It is a small visual system: a clear promise, protected details, a repeatable transformation, and evidence that people can judge before using it.
The short answer
Open the private creator workspace, start from a portrait, travel, editorial, illustration or product template, then rewrite the method around three questions: what must stay, what should change, and what must never appear. Save and test it privately. Add only meaningful controls, then prepare a public name, description, tags, one complete before-and-after comparison and the image-rights record before submitting it for editorial review.
A Skill needs proof, not only a promise
A processing instruction is private, but its visible behavior should be legible in the comparison. This Paris source and the Ink Echo result show the same scene, retained landmarks and a deliberately changed material language. That relationship is what a future user needs to evaluate.
Build the Skill in three deliberate stages
- 01
Write the transformation contract
Choose a starter, name the subject details that must survive, specify composition, light, material and palette changes, then list failure modes to avoid. The instruction stays private to you and reviewers.
- 02
Save, test and simplify the controls
A name and a processing instruction of at least 20 characters are enough to save and open a private test. Add an optional user-direction field or controls only when each choice creates a useful, predictable difference.
- 03
Prove the result before review
Add marketplace copy and tags, upload at least one complete before-and-after pair at 1440px or wider, record its source and permissions, then use the separate review action. Saving a draft never publishes it.
The choices that make a Skill reusable
- Method before mood words
- Describe preservation, hierarchy and material behavior. “Beautiful” or “cinematic” cannot tell the model what to protect.
- Fewer controls, clearer outcomes
- A control earns its place only when users can see and understand the difference between its options.
- Private testing before public proof
- Drafts and tests stay private. Marketplace publication begins only after an explicit submission and editorial approval.
Questions about creating an Imagild Skill
Do I need to code or train a model?
No. You define a reusable photo method in the creator workspace and test it through the existing Imagild image pipeline.
Can other people see my processing instruction?
The instruction is private to you and reviewers. Public users see the name, description, tags, controls and comparison evidence.
What is required before I submit?
Complete the method and public details, add at least one full before-and-after comparison, document image rights and permissions, then confirm the separate review submission.
