Key Tips for Using Nano Banana

  • Make loose selections around your target area — the model needs context to understand the scene and create coherent results
  • Use soft brush edges with decreased hardness to help blend AI generations naturally with existing image elements
  • Create new selections for each edit to build on previous generations, since new prompts always reference the original image
  • Write detailed prompts that describe location, lighting, and mood when replacing backgrounds for more believable results
  • Combine multiple instructions in a single prompt to change poses, expressions, and clothing simultaneously
