I Keep Thinking of Lemon
GPT Image 2· Image
Images 1 and 2 are identity references — use them to define the facial features (eye shape, nose, lips, skin tone, face structure) and the hair style (texture, curl, wave, and volume). Image 3 (https://assets.carat-api.im/upload_from_app/3052856/20260622/187c03e4-ea29-4e40-b15b-21c555b33c1a.png) is the target.
Replace the face and hair of the person in Image 3 with the identity from Images 1 and 2. The hair must match the style from the references, including any curl or wave texture.
STRICTLY PRESERVE: the closed eyes, the satisfied humming expression (mouth gently closed with a pleased slight smile, like saying "mmm~"), the head angle, the pose, the clothing, the background, and the lighting. Eyes must remain closed.

Image 1 (frontal portrait) is REQUIRED. Image 2 (side profile) is OPTIONAL but improves hair accuracy.
Image 1: FACE IDENTITY ONLY — facial features (eye shape, nose shape, lip shape, skin tone).
Image 2: HAIR IDENTITY ONLY — hair color, texture, volume, silhouette.
Image 3 (https://assets.carat-api.im/upload_from_app/3052856/20260619/d1dd743d-6133-464e-9c5a-04de92fdb86e.png): BASE IMAGE — all pose, outfit, background, lighting, composition come from here.
CHANGE: Replace only the face and hair with the identity from Image 1 and Image 2.
EXPRESSION (critical): A subtle self-satisfied smirk — one corner of the mouth lifted very slightly, lips barely parted with quiet confidence. Eyes slightly narrowed and heavy-lidded, knowing languid gaze straight at camera. One eyebrow raised ever so slightly. NOT a full smile.
PRESERVE from Image 3 exactly: body angled slightly left, right arm extended forward toward viewer, white t-shirt with large bright citrus lemon graphic, clean white background, large heart-shaped lemon slice on the right with motion blur, sparkle overlay, asymmetric landscape composition.
Lemon on My Mind

PRESERVE EXACTLY from the third image: the white graphic t-shirt with the exploding lemon graphic and 'What?' text, the body pose and shoulder position, the backlit yellow lighting with radial beams, the floating hearts and lemon icons in the background, the golden-yellow background color, all background design elements, camera framing, and scale of the subject.

CHANGE 1 — HEAD ANGLE (critical): Turn the head further right so the gaze lands naturally on the weather map beside her — not toward the camera.

What Are Lemon Tang AI Prompts?
Lemon Tang is a K-pop fan-edit style face-swap concept built around yellow backgrounds and lemon props. You drop your own face into ready-made lemon-themed scenes, like a lemon weather broadcast, an office desk, or a birdcage, so the result looks like a polished idol photo shoot. In Carat these are made with GPT Image 2 in image-edit mode, and you can keep refining the expression, background, or ratio afterward.
Where You'll Use It
- K-pop idol style fan-edit portraits made with your own face
- Meme concept shots like the lemon weather forecast or office lemon
- Lovely profiles pairing yellow backgrounds with lemon props
- Distinctive selfie alternatives for social profiles and stories
- Fan goodie images built from your own or a favorite idol's photo
Why This Tag Is Useful
Lemon Tang keeps the pose, outfit, background, and lighting of a finished scene intact and only swaps in the face and hair from your reference photo, so you get a high-quality concept portrait without any shooting or editing. A single frontal photo is enough to start, and a side profile makes the head angle and hair more accurate.
Tips for Crafting Prompts
- Use a clear frontal face photo as the first image to anchor the features and hair.
- Add a side profile photo to improve head angles and hair silhouette.
- Preserve the pose, outfit, background, and lighting from the base scene.
- Describe the head angle and expression precisely, such as closed eyes or gaze direction.
Once your Lemon Tang image is ready, you can keep editing it in Carat, adjusting the expression or the aspect ratio for social media.
