Clone Yourself

ROLE
Act as a senior professional photo retoucher, image editor, photographer, compositing artist and AI image-editing specialist. Perform a controlled, production-quality transformation of the uploaded image. Treat the source photograph as the ground truth for the subject's identity, appearance, clothing, environment and photographic characteristics.

EDIT
Create [NUMBER OF CLONES] additional photorealistic versions of the main human subject within the same original scene. Every clone must clearly be the exact same person, preserving identical recognizable identity, hairstyle, clothing and visible accessories while appearing in a different natural pose or position. Keep the original environment recognizable and integrate every version convincingly into the photograph.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE
Execute the requested "Clone Yourself Effect" convincingly and photorealistically. The finished image should look like multiple real versions of the exact same person were physically present and photographed together in the original location at the same moment. The result must feel like professional photographic compositing rather than duplicated cutouts pasted across the image.

EDITING PRIORITY
1. Preserve the subject's exact recognizable identity across every version.
2. Preserve the original environment, composition and photographic character.
3. Give each clone a distinct, natural pose and position.
4. Integrate every clone using correct perspective, lighting, shadows, depth and physical contact.
5. Prevent duplicated-pose, cutout, anatomy and generative-AI artifacts.

IDENTITY CONSISTENCY
- Every clone must represent the exact same individual as the original subject.
- Preserve recognizable facial structure, skin tone, hairstyle, hair texture, facial hair and distinguishing features.
- Preserve the person's apparent age and overall build.
- Preserve the original visible clothing, footwear and accessories.
- Preserve garment colors, materials, patterns, logos and recognizable design details.
- Preserve visible jewelry, watches, tattoos and other distinctive details.
- Do not create look-alikes, siblings or slightly different versions of the person.
- Do not independently redesign the face, body, hairstyle or outfit of individual clones.
- Maintain strong identity consistency even when a clone is viewed from a different angle.

CLONE PLACEMENT & COMPOSITION
- Analyze the original environment before placing additional versions of the subject.
- Distribute the clones naturally throughout available physical space.
- Choose positions that make sense within the existing perspective and scene geometry.
- Maintain believable scale according to each clone's distance from the camera.
- Allow some clones to appear closer to the camera and others farther away when the environment supports it.
- Keep the composition balanced and visually readable.
- Do not arrange the clones in an artificial straight line or evenly spaced pattern unless the scene naturally supports it.
- Avoid excessive overlap between clones.
- Keep important facial features reasonably visible where compositionally possible.
- Preserve the original subject as part of the final composition rather than replacing them.

POSE VARIATION
- Give each clone a clearly different but natural pose.
- Derive poses from realistic human body mechanics and the available environment.
- Appropriate variations may include standing, sitting, leaning, walking, looking away, resting against an existing surface or naturally interacting with the scene.
- Keep body language relaxed and believable.
- Vary head direction, arm placement and stance naturally.
- Do not simply duplicate the original pose and move it elsewhere.
- Do not mirror identical poses.
- Avoid exaggerated fashion poses, action poses or gestures unless naturally appropriate to the source scene.
- Maintain the person's overall character and appearance despite pose variation.

ENVIRONMENTAL INTERACTION
- Make every clone physically interact with the original environment.
- Place feet correctly on floors, terrain, stairs or other supporting surfaces.
- If a clone sits, ensure their body is correctly supported by an existing chair, ledge, step or suitable surface.
- If a clone leans against something, create believable physical contact and body positioning.
- Respect existing walls, furniture, vegetation, architecture and environmental objects.
- Use correct foreground and background occlusion.
- Allow existing objects to naturally pass in front of clones when required by depth.
- Do not move or redesign environmental objects merely to accommodate a clone unless a tiny adjustment is necessary for realistic integration.

LIGHTING & SHADOW COHERENCE
- Apply the original scene's light direction, intensity, softness and color temperature consistently to every clone.
- Match highlight and shadow placement according to each clone's position and orientation.
- Create realistic contact shadows beneath feet and around physical contact points.
- Generate believable cast shadows when required by the scene's lighting.
- Match ambient light and environmental color spill.
- Respect differences in illumination across different areas of the scene.
- Do not give individual clones independent studio lighting.
- Do not add artificial rim lights, glows or halos around clones.
- Preserve the original photographic lighting on the original subject.

DEPTH, SCALE & PERSPECTIVE
- Match every clone to the source camera's perspective and lens characteristics.
- Scale each person correctly according to their depth within the environment.
- Maintain consistent horizon and ground-plane relationships.
- Use appropriate perspective compression or expansion based on the original photograph.
- Match depth of field according to distance from the camera.
- Clones occupying the original focal plane should have comparable sharpness.
- Clones farther outside the focal plane should soften naturally.
- Do not make distant clones unnaturally sharp.
- Do not create inconsistent body scale or impossible perspective.

STRICT PRESERVATION RULES
- Preserve the original subject's recognizable identity.
- Preserve the original background and scene structure.
- Preserve the original crop, framing, camera position and aspect ratio.
- Preserve the original overall lighting and color grade.
- Preserve existing architecture, furniture, vegetation, terrain and unrelated objects.
- Preserve the original subject's pose and position unless a tiny adjustment is absolutely necessary for compositional integration.
- Preserve clothing, footwear, jewelry, tattoos, scars, freckles, moles and other recognizable details.
- Do not remove the original subject.
- Do not introduce unrelated people.
- The only additional human figures should be duplicates of the original main subject.
- Do not introduce unrelated props, text, logos or decorations.

REALISM & INTEGRATION
- Treat every clone as a real human physically occupying the photographed environment.
- Match the source image's sharpness, grain, noise, compression and photographic character.
- Maintain realistic skin, hair and fabric texture.
- Preserve fine hair strands and natural clothing boundaries.
- Match local reflections where a clone appears near glass, mirrors, polished floors, water or other reflective surfaces.
- Update reflections only where physically required by the added person's presence.
- Maintain correct occlusion between clones and existing environmental elements.
- Keep edges clean but photographic rather than artificially perfect.
- Prevent any clone from appearing pasted, floating or disconnected from the scene.

CLONE-TO-CLONE INTERACTION
- Keep physical relationships between clones believable.
- If two versions overlap in depth, use correct occlusion.
- Avoid accidental body intersections.
- Avoid merged limbs, overlapping heads or impossible physical contact.
- Do not make clones touch or interact directly with each other unless the composition naturally requires it.
- When clones are positioned near one another, maintain realistic personal space and depth separation.
- Each version should remain visually readable as a complete individual.

ANATOMY & GEOMETRY SAFETY
- Keep human anatomy physically correct for every version.
- Preserve the correct number and structure of fingers, hands, arms, legs, eyes, ears and teeth.
- Maintain realistic joint positions and weight distribution.
- Keep feet correctly connected to supporting surfaces.
- Do not create duplicated limbs within individual clones.
- Do not merge body parts between nearby clones.
- Do not warp faces or bodies to fit available spaces.
