FLUX 2 Pro: multi-reference editing and stylised looks
FLUX 2 Pro takes up to eight reference images at once, holds faces and products faithfully, and is one of the cheapest strong models in solorender — which makes it a sensible default for most image work.
Real results
Made in solorender with these models. Nothing retouched.
Best for
- ✓Combining several references — a person, a product, a garment, a location — into one believable scene
- ✓Keeping a real person's face intact while changing everything around them
- ✓Stylised and period looks: 2000s digicam, vintage phone selfie, film grain, comic, claymation
- ✓Virtual try-on and product-in-hand shots, including complicated logos and packaging text
- ✓Colour control by hex code, which no other model in the catalogue does from a prompt alone
Where it struggles
- —Dense text distorts. A label or headline is fine; a whole infographic is not — use Nano Banana 2 for that
- —Occasional anatomy slips in busy crowd scenes (a hand on the wrong side of a window frame)
- —Asked to "make this more engaging", it tends to just saturate the colours rather than re-compose
Prompts that work
Each one opens the studio with the prompt already in the box. They are also one click away inside the app, under the prompt field.
Combine references
Try it →The person from image one is petting the cat from image two. The bird from image three is next to them.
Number the images when the subjects could be confused for each other.
Scene from parts
Try it →The man is leaning against the wall reading a newspaper. The woman walks past him carrying the tote bag and wearing the black boots. The focus is on their contrasting styles — her relaxed creative vibe against his formal look.
With distinct subjects you can name them instead of numbering. An unmentioned location reference is still used as the setting.
Virtual try-on
Try it →He is wearing the jumper.
Two images — garment and person. Five words is genuinely enough.
Product in hand
Try it →She is holding the product, photo shoot style.
Blend an overlay
Try it →Realistic depiction of the tattoo on her arm.
Paste artwork roughly over a photo first; this welds the two together.
Stage a room
Try it →Blend the sofa into this living room.
Same trick for furniture — everything but the new object stays untouched.
Expand the frame
Try it →Expand the scene — she is walking in a beautiful meadow.
Fill a background
Try it →Fill in this image.
Put the subject on a flat black canvas at the size you want. Only the empty area gets painted.
Restyle
Try it →Turn this image into soft anime style.
Swap in comic book, claymation, neon cyberpunk, hyper-minimal flat, voxel. It also runs in reverse: anime → real life.
Next camera angle
Try it →View from behind the car.
Chain these — feed the result back in and ask for "bird's eye view" to build a consistent shot list.
Digicam look
Try it →Sloth out drinking in Bangkok at night on a street full of party-goers, 2000s digicam style, people in the background fading.
Modern photoreal
Try it →Soaking wet tiger cub taking shelter under a banana leaf in the rainy jungle, close-up photo.
Epic fantasy
Try it →Colossal stone titan half buried in desert sands, eyes glowing faintly as it awakens, dust storm swirling around nomads on camels.
Headshot
Try it →Professional headshot of the man wearing a suit and tie.
Give it a casual photo of yourself. Likeness holds up better here than on any other image model in the catalogue.
Colour by hex
Try it →A blank piece of paper made of a gradient of colour starting with #0B3D91 and finishing with #F4A300.
Hex codes actually land. Use it to force brand colours onto any object.
Build a shot list, then animate it
The most useful thing FLUX 2 Pro does for film work is generate different camera angles on the *same* scene. Start with one establishing image, ask for "view from behind the car", feed that result back in, ask for "bird's eye view", and so on.
Because each step edits the previous image rather than inventing a new one, the car, the light and the road stay the same across all of them. Drop the finished set into Flow, animate each with an image-to-video model, and Render Film stitches a continuous scene — no character drift between shots.
One of the cheapest strong models
FLUX 2 Pro is among the lowest-priced models in solorender that still hold up for client work. That is why it belongs in your default slot: run four FLUX 2 Pro variants to find the composition, then re-run the winner on a pricier model only if you actually need what that model is better at.
