Step-by-Step Tutorial: Editing With Nano Banana

Step 1: Upload Your Image

Gemini supports JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC. Imogen makes it even smoother with drag-and-drop.

✅ Case Example: A small business uploads a product photo with messy background → Nano Banana removes clutter instantly.

Step 2: Write Your Prompt

Nano Banana understands plain English instructions. Try:

• “Make the sky pink at sunset.”

• “Blend this person with this dog so they look natural.”
• “Put her in a sari standing in a field.”

💡 Pro Tip: Start broad (“make background white”), then refine with specifics (“make background pure #FFFFFF with soft shadows”).

Step 3: Iterate With Multi-Turn Editing

Unlike most editors, Nano Banana remembers context across edits. That means you can:

• First: “Change shirt color to Red.”

• Next: “Remove the Headphone.”

• Next: “Make him wear the black dress fully visible.”

⚠️ Limitation: After 3–4 rounds, faces may distort and quality may drop. (See upscaling tip below.)

Step 4: Download or Share

• Gemini → Download JPG/PNG (with watermark).

• Imogen → Download watermark-free, export to Drive, or share directly on social.
