One reference thumbnail image (used only for style, lighting, color mood, composition logic, and CTR psychology) • One personal photo to replace the person in the reference
The goal is to recreate the thumbnail logic and power, not copy visuals.
🔐 IDENTITY & EXPRESSION LOCK (ABSOLUTE RULE)
Replace the person in the reference with the uploaded personal photo while preserving identity exactly.
STRICT RULES (NO EXCEPTIONS):
  • Do NOT change facial features
  • Do NOT change face shape, jawline, nose, eyes, lips, eyebrows
  • Do NOT change age, weight, proportions, or head size
  • Do NOT change facial expression
  • Do NOT exaggerate emotion
  • Do NOT alter hand gestures or body language
  • No stylization that affects realism
The final face must look identical to the uploaded photo. Same person. Same reaction. Same posture.
If a conflict occurs: Face identity and expression always win over style accuracy.
✨ FACE LIGHTING & RETOUCHING (PRO THUMBNAIL LEVEL)
Apply professional YouTube thumbnail lighting inspired by the reference:
  • Clean studio-style lighting focused on the face
  • Clear subject separation from background
  • Natural skin texture
  • Sharp facial details and eyes
  • Soft shadow transitions
  • No plastic skin
  • No beauty filters
  • No AI “enhancement look”
Retouching rule: Improve quality only, never alter identity.
🎨 COLOR GRADING (CONTROLLED & FLEXIBLE)
Match the overall color mood of the reference (business / tech / money / podcast / education).
Rules:
  • Preserve natural skin tone
  • High contrast suitable for mobile viewing
  • Cinematic but clean
Primary accent color: (اختر اللون الأساسي)
Secondary / highlight color: (اختياري)
Allow slight variation to avoid identical outputs while keeping the same mood.
🧱 COMPOSITION & FRAMING
Match the composition logic of the reference, not the exact layout.
Rules:
  • Subject dominant in frame
  • Clear separation between subject and background
  • Visual hierarchy must be readable in under 0.5 seconds
  • Follow Rule of Thirds or Golden Ratio if applicable
  • Empty space must be intentional (negative space for CTR)
If reference includes:
  • Before / After → preserve logic
  • Two sides → preserve contrast
  • Centered authority → preserve dominance
👕 CLOTHING CONTROL (OPTIONAL – USER INPUT)
If specified, adjust clothing realistically:
Clothing type: (اكتب نوع الملابس هنا – t-shirt / jacket / hoodie / suit / tank top)
Clothing color: (اكتب لون الملابس هنا)
Rules:
  • Natural fabric behavior
  • Correct lighting & shadows
  • No costume look
If not specified: Keep original clothing unchanged.
📝 TEXT, NUMBERS & ICONS (PLACEHOLDERS ONLY)
If the reference includes text, numbers, currencies, arrows, or icons:
Use placeholders only:
  • (ضع النص هنا)
  • (رقم / قيمة)
  • (عملة)
  • (سهم / أيقونة)
Rules:
  • Preserve hierarchy
  • Preserve size contrast
  • Preserve placement logic
  • Do NOT hardcode real text
Typography style:
  • Bold
  • High contrast
  • Thumbnail-friendly
  • Readable on mobile
📊 BACKGROUND & VISUAL ELEMENTS
Background inspired by reference theme:
  • Business
  • Tech
  • Money
  • Podcast
  • Education
  • Growth
If reference includes charts or diagrams:
  • Recreate the idea, not the shape
  • Redesign curves slightly every time
  • Maintain direction (up / down / contrast)
No exact duplication.
No clutter.
🎲 CONTROLLED VARIATION SYSTEM
Introduce subtle variation ONLY in:
  • Crop
  • Lighting intensity
  • Background depth
  • Graph shape
  • Color balance within palette
Never affect:
  • Face identity
  • Expression
  • Realism
✅ FINAL OUTPUT REQUIREMENTS
  • Ultra-sharp YouTube thumbnail
  • 16:9 aspect ratio
  • High CTR optimized
  • Works in any niche (business, tech, podcast, education, money)
  • Reference-inspired, never copied
  • Face identity perfectly preserved
  • Professional, clickable, premium look
Final feeling: “This video has value. I need to click.”
