Image editing

Planning a seedream 4.5 face swap?

A face swap uses one image as the identity reference and another as the scene to edit. Before uploading either, check the model named on the destination: this page links to a Seedream 5 Pro edit listing, not a verified 4.5 face-swap tool.

What this variant is

A useful face-editing brief identifies whose likeness may be used, which image supplies the scene, and what should remain unchanged.

Portrait designer

You have permission to use a subject’s reference portrait and want to preserve the pose and lighting of a separate scene.

Write an edit request that separates identity from composition rather than asking for an unspecified new portrait.

Creative director

A campaign mockup needs a consistent visual style across portraits, but the intended editor has not been confirmed.

Test the look with authorized images first; do not treat a convincing resemblance as proof of a faithful identity transfer.

First-time editor

You want to understand the basic image-editing workflow before preparing source files.

Check the destination’s actual controls and model label before making plans around a particular version.

Why source-to-target direction matters

The identity reference and the target scene do different jobs. Naming them explicitly reduces ambiguity, although it cannot guarantee a successful edit.

  1. 1

    Choose an authorized reference

    Use a clear image of a person who has agreed to the edit. Avoid screenshots or photos that include other people whose likenesses you are not authorized to use.

  2. 2

    Identify the target scene

    Choose the image whose framing, clothing, background and lighting you want to retain. Say plainly that this is the image to edit, not the identity source.

  3. 3

    Describe the intended change

    Ask to change only the face and to keep the target scene’s pose and surroundings where possible. Inspect the result for distorted features or an unintended change of identity.

The tool block and adjacent guides

The linked destination is a Seedream 5 Pro edit listing. These pages help distinguish model versions, image generation and prompt examples before you choose a workflow.

Spec table: requirements and limits

Treat these as checks for a face-editing attempt, not as a published feature specification for Seedream 4.5.

Model match

The destination names Seedream 5 Pro edit. This page cannot establish that its controls, behavior or results match a 4.5 face-swap workflow.

Workaround

Read the model name and available input options on the destination before submitting images.

Identity fidelity

A text request alone cannot ensure that an editor preserves someone’s likeness, expression or facial details accurately.

Workaround

Use an authorized, clear reference and review the output closely before using it.

Source-image handling

This page cannot verify the destination’s upload requirements, retention practices or support for a two-image input.

Workaround

Check those details at the destination and avoid uploading sensitive portraits until you are comfortable with its terms.

Misleading use

A plausible face edit is not evidence that a depicted event occurred or that the person endorses the image.

Workaround

Get consent and label edited imagery clearly when sharing it.

Check the editor before you upload

Variant FAQ

No. The linked destination is listed as Seedream 5 Pro edit, so its model name does not match 4.5. Check the destination itself for its current editing options rather than relying on this page as confirmation of a 4.5 feature.

The source is the authorized reference for the likeness you want to use. The target is the image containing the scene, pose or composition you intend to edit. State both roles clearly in your request.

Do not count on an exact preservation of expression, lighting, clothing or background. Image edits can alter details outside the requested area. Compare the result with the target and discard it if important details have changed.

Use a person’s likeness only with appropriate permission, especially if you intend to publish the result. Avoid presenting an edited image as a real photograph or as evidence of that person’s actions.
