Prompt

Using the provided reference image, replace the train interior scene with a straight-on, documentary-style photograph of a classic American diner counter wall. Remove the person, window reflection, thermos, and book entirely. Keep the image photorealistic and naturally lit, with warm tungsten bulbs across the top and wood-paneled walls. Add a large black letter-board menu with white block letters as the main subject, framed in metal above an open kitchen pass. Include 6 menu sections with these exact headings and items: BREAKFAST with 5 items (TWO EGGS TOAST 4.95, BACON & EGGS 6.50, HAM & EGGS 6.75, OMELET 7.25, BISCUITS & GRAVY 5.50); GRIDDLE with 4 items (SHORT STACK 4.25, PANCAKES 5.25, FRENCH TOAST 5.75, WAFFLE 5.95); SANDWICHES with 5 items (BLT 5.50, TUNA MELT 6.25, GRILLED CHEESE 4.50, CLUB SANDWICH 7.50, HAMBURGER 6.00); SIDES with 5 items (HASH BROWNS 2.50, BACON 2.95, SAUSAGE 2.95, TOAST 1.50, PIE 3.25); DRINKS with 5 items (COFFEE 1.25, TEA 1.25, MILK 1.50, ORANGE JUICE 1.75, SODA 1.50); and a DAILY SPECIAL line reading CHICKEN FRIED STEAK 8.25. Below the menu, show a stainless service opening and countertop with diner details including 2 condiment bottles, 1 napkin dispenser, and 1 shaker in the foreground. Wide horizontal composition, centered, realistic textures, slightly nostalgic roadside-diner mood.

Multi-Panel Cinematic Studio Shot
Nano Banana 2

Multi-Panel Cinematic Studio Shot

A clean, high-resolution cinematic studio photograph, presented as a single wide horizontal frame composed of five distinct, perfectly aligned vertical panels with solid-colored backgrounds (from left: yellow, teal, orange, purple, and blue-green) (panel colors). Five diverse young women stand centrally in each panel, posed as in image_0.png but without any text, logos, or stickers. Panel 1 (Yellow): Woman with messy brown curly hair and thick black glasses, wearing a striped turtleneck. Panel 2 (Teal): Woman with a neat brown bob, a floral patterned top, and a notebook with an 'A' spine. Panel 3 (Orange): Woman with a grey beanie, red braided hair, red-rimmed glasses, and an "ALL DAY" graphic t-shirt. Panel 4 (Purple): Woman with curly blonde hair and large silver headphones, wearing a striped turtleneck and a backpack. Panel 5 (Blue-Green): Woman with dark hair, dark-rimmed glasses, and a red cherry-patterned top, eating a red donut. The foreground black bar at the bottom (background element) is entirely clean, with all Japanese text, the white rabbit, and the yellow circle logo removed. The overall image has an exquisite, clean cinematic finish with refined lighting that feels like a curated style guide or film still. The focus is sharp on the women and their expressions. Maintain the exact poses and items (glasses, notebook, donut, etc.) without any overlay text
