# Photo Studio

Generate professional AI-enhanced portraits and group photos using Seedream 4.5 AI model.

## Quick Start

```bash
# Interactive mode - easiest way to start
python scripts/main.py generate --photo path/to/your/photo.jpg

# Non-interactive mode - for agent integration
python scripts/main.py generate --photo "$USER_PHOTO" --scenario portrait --non-interactive
```

## Core Workflow

1. **Select scenario** from 9 options: celebrity, portrait, couple, family, edit, fusion, series, poster, free
2. **Provide inputs**: photos, styles, templates, prompts based on scenario
3. **Generate images**: CLI preprocesses photos, calls Seedream 4.5 API, saves results to `output/images/`
4. **Review and save**: View, reorder, regenerate, or confirm images

## Essential Commands

### Generate Images

```bash
# Celebrity photos with characters
python scripts/main.py generate --photo "$USER_PHOTO" --scenario celebrity --non-interactive

# Portrait photos with style
python scripts/main.py generate --photo "$USER_PHOTO" --scenario portrait --style "职业商务照" --non-interactive

# Couple photos with pose and background
python scripts/main.py generate --photos "$PHOTO1,$PHOTO2" --scenario couple --pose "手牵手面向镜头" --background "海滩日落" --non-interactive

# Family photos with template
python scripts/main.py generate --photos "$PHOTO1,$PHOTO2,$PHOTO3" --scenario family --template "温馨家庭聚会" --non-interactive

# Edit images (change clothing, material, background, style, enhance)
python scripts/main.py generate --photo "$USER_PHOTO" --scenario edit --template change-clothing --clothing "运动外套" --non-interactive

# Fuse images (outfit, person-scenery, brand, multi-person)
python scripts/main.py generate --photos "$PHOTO1,$PHOTO2" --scenario fusion --template outfit-fusion --non-interactive

# Create series (seasons, brand kit, character states, story sequence)
python scripts/main.py generate --photo "$USER_PHOTO" --scenario series --template seasons --count 4 --non-interactive

# Design poster (movie, event, product)
python scripts/main.py generate --photo "$USER_PHOTO" --scenario poster --template movie-poster --non-interactive

# Free mode with custom prompt
python scripts/main.py generate --photo "$USER_PHOTO" --scenario free --prompt "A futuristic cyberpunk portrait" --non-interactive
```

### List Available Options

```bash
# List all scenarios
python scripts/main.py list-scenarios

# List styles for portrait/couple/family/celebrity
python scripts/main.py list-styles --scenario <scenario_id>

# List couple poses
python scripts/main.py list-poses

# List family templates
python scripts/main.py list-templates

# List backgrounds for couple/family
python scripts/main.py list-backgrounds --scenario <scenario_id>

# List characters
python scripts/main.py list-characters
```

### Configuration and Utilities

```bash
# View configuration
python scripts/main.py config --show

# Update configuration
python scripts/main.py config --set generation.default_image_count=3

# Add custom character
python scripts/main.py add-character "Character Name" "Description" --scene "Scene"

# Clean temporary files
python scripts/main.py cleanup
```

## Scenarios Overview

| Scenario | Photos Required | Key Options |
|----------|----------------|-------------|
| Celebrity | 1 | characters, count |
| Portrait | 1 | style, count |
| Couple | 2 | pose, background, count |
| Family | 1-6 | template, background, count |
| Edit | 1 | template (5 options), template-specific params |
| Fusion | 1-6 | template (4 options), template-specific params |
| Series | 1 | template (4 options), count (4/6/8/10) |
| Poster | 1 | template (3 options), template-specific params |
| Free | 1-14 | prompt, negative-prompt, count |

## Environment Setup

```bash
# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Set API key (required for operation)
# API key environment variable name: ARK_API_KEY
# API will return error if key is not properly configured

# Mock mode for testing without API (optional)
export MOCK_API=true
```

## Configuration

Key settings in `config.json`:
- `generation.image_width` / `generation.image_height` - Image dimensions (default: 2048)
- `generation.default_image_count` - Default number of images (default: 5)
- `scenarios.default_scenario` - Default scenario (default: celebrity)

## Technical Notes

### Image Generation

- Model: Seedream 4.5 (`doubao-seedream-4.5-251128`)
- Resolution: 2048x2048 (configurable)
- Supports 1-14 reference photos
- Uses image-to-image generation with user photos as reference
- Processing time: ~10-20 seconds per image

### Multi-Photo Scenarios

- Couple and family scenarios use multi-reference image fusion
- Person count controlled via prompt descriptions (not precise)

### Mock Mode Benefits

- No API costs
- Fast testing (500ms instead of 10-20 seconds)
- No network dependency
- Consistent test results

## Troubleshooting

**Image generation fails:**
- Check internet connection
- Verify API key is properly configured (see Environment Setup)
- Ensure photos are clear and well-lit (≥1024×1024 recommended)
- Check `logs/` directory for detailed errors

**Common issues:**
- Large photos require more processing time
- API rate limits may apply
- Person count in group photos is controlled via prompt (not precise)
