Ever looked at three different photos and thought if it could be just one image? Or the scenery in the first image was better and puppy from the second? Sounds like your deja vu moment, no? As a marketer, I have now started combining photos with AI, in literally seconds with Google Nano Banana on ImagineArt, and totally quit the traditional photo compositing method where I would battle with layers, masks and lighting mismatches to get that one perfect image for my campaign.

In this blog, I’ll show you how to combine photos with AI using Google Nano Banana inside ImagineArt.

How to combine photos with AI in ImagineArt

1. Open ImagineArt

Open www.imagine.art and select ‘image’. Choose model Google Nano Banana or Runway Gen-4 References and click on ‘Edit’.

2. Upload images you want to combine

Add your source photos: one for the main subject, another for the scene or background, and optionally one for style reference. The more context you give, the more naturally Google Nano Banana will combine them.

Why is photo compositing?

Photo compositing is the process of combining two or more separate images into a single, cohesive photo visual.

Designers, marketers and photographers merge a person with a new background, place a product into a lifestyle setting, or build entirely new scenes that may or may not exist in real life.

The goal of photo compositing is to make the final/output image look natural, as if all elements were actually captured together, in one shot!

But traditional photo compositing came with its own challenges.

  • technical dependence on a trained designer means time and cost.
  • DIY manually combining photos means you’ll end up with noticeable lighting mismatches, tone inconsistencies and whatnot
  • Even after adjustments, blending multiple images often results in unnatural contrasts and color clashes.
  • To avoid inconsistencies, you need meticulous masking and feathering, which is takes more time than a complete photography shot.

But photo compositing tools like ImagineArt are complete game-changers here: just give your two to four images to the tool, put a prompt for your final look and you are done!
