# Portrait Photography App Tips
**Start Creating**
First, choose a style similar to the theme you want to create and generate a base image to use as your placeholder material.
### **Edit the Placeholder**
Next, cover or erase the face part of the placeholder image, then use the "Edge" tool to adjust the composition of the picture (this is a preset function by the creator).
### **Adjust Pose**:
Use the "Pose" tool to control the character's movements (another preset function by the creator).
### **Customize the Character**
If needed, use the "Character PRO" feature to upload a photo of the person you want to mimic, making the generated character more realistic.
### **Add Prompts**
Enter the same prompts used to generate the placeholder material, which will help the AI understand what you want to create.
### **Choose a Style**
Select a professional, realistic portrait style to ensure your work has high-quality visual effects.
### **Adjust Size**
Make sure the "Size" settings match the dimensions of your placeholder image (this is also a preset by the creator) to maintain overall consistency.
By following these simple steps, you can easily create professional-level portrait works. Remember, each step is to make your creation more perfect, so don't rush, take your time, and enjoy the creative process.
