Brand designer
A campaign brief calls for several visual directions, but the team has not agreed on a composition.
Write a short concept brief with subject, setting, mood, and exclusions before comparing candidate images.

Using krea for images in a creative workflow
Start with a clear visual brief, then decide whether you need a new concept, an edit to an existing picture, or a polished final asset. This guide focuses on the decisions around image work rather than promising a particular control or output from Krea.
The audience’s existing pipeline
Most image projects begin before anyone opens a creative tool: a request arrives, references are gathered, and someone defines what a useful result must show.
Where we slot in
Use this guide at the handoff between a visual brief and tool selection. The right next step depends on what material you have and what reviewers need to approve.
Product marketer
An existing product photo needs a different presentation while the product itself must stay recognizable.
Mark the features that cannot change and review any edited image against the original photo.

A rough spatial concept needs imagery for discussion, not a construction-ready drawing.
Label visualizations as concepts and check proportions, materials, and site details independently.
krea architectsSocial editor
One approved idea must work across placements with different crops and text-safe areas.
Review each crop separately instead of assuming a strong master image will fit every placement.

Treat the change from brief to approved image as a review process, not as proof that one prompt will produce a finished deliverable.

1
Define the starting point
Record whether the input is a written idea, a reference board, or a picture you have permission to use. Note the intended audience, placement, and elements that must remain accurate.
-
2
Inspect the candidate
Compare the result with the brief. Look closely at product details, readable text, anatomy, shadows, and anything that could mislead a viewer if it changed during generation or editing.

3
Prepare the handoff
Choose the version that survives review, then document required crops, any remaining retouching, and the person responsible for final approval. Keep the source and approved image distinguishable.
Deliverable spec
A concept image and a publishable asset answer different questions. Use this checklist to make the handoff explicit, whatever creative tool you choose.

What this route cannot promise
Krea is a useful search starting point, but this page cannot verify a particular tool’s current controls or guarantee that a generated image is ready to publish.
-
No guaranteed source fidelity
An image workflow may alter details you intended to preserve, even when the overall result looks convincing.
WorkaroundCompare important features against the original at full size and request a manual correction when necessary.
-
No automatic rights clearance
A polished result does not establish permission to use its references, recognizable people, trademarks, or source photographs.
WorkaroundCheck source permissions and have the intended publication use reviewed.
-
No fixed output specification
Available formats, dimensions, controls, and access conditions can change and are not established by this guide.
WorkaroundConfirm current options in the tool before committing to a production brief.
Visual reference
- Starting reference
- Review reference
These are illustrative site visuals, not a verified before-and-after transformation of the same source. Evaluate an actual project with its own source and candidate images side by side.
Take the brief into your next tool
Move forward with a brief you can review
Bring the subject, references, intended placement, and must-keep details together before exploring Krea-related image work. Check the tool’s current capabilities at the destination, then judge each candidate against your own acceptance criteria rather than the preview alone.

Scenario FAQ
Prepare a short brief describing the subject, visual style, intended placement, and details that must not change. If you have a source picture, confirm you can use it and keep it available for comparison.
Start with a description when you are exploring an idea without an approved source. Start with an existing picture when recognizable details matter, and check whether the tool you choose supports the kind of editing you need.
Inspect it at the size and crop your audience will see. Check factual details, visible text, permissions, and placement requirements, then obtain the approvals your project requires.
Not necessarily. Different placements can cut off a subject or leave too little room for copy, so review each required crop rather than relying on the master composition.
