How to Access Nano Banana Pro in LTX

1. Navigate to Gen Space from any project or the LTX homepage
2. Select Nano Banana Pro from the image model dropdown
3. Enter your prompt with composition, style, and technical details
4. Add references (optional): Upload images or use annotations for precise control
5. Generate and edit: Create your image, then refine conversationally without starting over
6. Integrate into workflow: Save as Element, add to Storyboard, or use as first frame for LTX-2 video

The Nano Banana Pro Mindset: Edit, Don't Re-roll

Unlike traditional image generators, Nano Banana Pro excels at understanding conversational edits. If an image is 80% correct, never regenerate from scratch—refine what you have.

Traditional approach: Generate → Dislike result → Re-prompt → Generate again → Repeat

Nano Banana Pro approach: Generate → Evaluate → "Keep the composition but change lighting to golden hour" → Refine → Done

This edit-first workflow saves time and maintains your successful elements while adjusting only what needs to change.

How to Prompt Nano Banana: Core Framework

The 6 Essential Elements

Every effective Nano Banana Pro prompt includes these components:

1. Subject
Define who or what appears in the image with specific characteristics.

• Weak: "a woman"
• Strong: "a confident entrepreneur in her early 40s with shoulder-length dark hair"

2. Composition
Specify camera framing, angles, and shot types.

• Examples: "close-up shot," "wide-angle view," "low-angle perspective," "overhead composition"

3. Action
Describe what's happening in the scene.

• Examples: "reviewing analytics on tablet," "presenting to clients," "preparing ingredients"

4. Setting
Establish the environment and context.

• Examples: "modern glass-walled office," "industrial kitchen at golden hour," "minimalist studio backdrop"

5. Style
Define the visual aesthetic and mood.

• Examples: "cinematic editorial style," "clean product photography," "lifestyle documentary approach"

6. Technical Specifications (Advanced)
Add camera and lighting details for professional control.

• Examples: "shot with 85mm f/1.8 lens," "soft window light from left," "shallow depth of field"

Basic Prompt Structure

[SUBJECT] + [ACTION] in [SETTING], [COMPOSITION], [STYLE]

Example: "Marketing executive presenting to clients in modern conference room, wide shot showing full space, cinematic corporate style with natural lighting"

Advanced Prompt Structure

For professional-grade results, use this Nano Banana prompt builder framework

[SUBJECT + DETAILS] + [ACTION] in [SETTING + ENVIRONMENT],

[COMPOSITION + CAMERA], [LIGHTING + MOOD], [STYLE + QUALITY]

Example: "Female entrepreneur in navy blazer reviewing analytics on tablet in glass-walled corner office with city skyline visible, medium close-up from slightly elevated angle, shot with 85mm lens at f/2.8, warm morning light creating soft shadows, professional editorial style with rich color and sharp focus"

Multimodal Reference Control

Nano Banana Pro supports multiple reference images with role assignment—specify exactly what each reference controls.

How Reference Assignment Works in LTX

1. Upload reference images in the Gen Space (up to 14 images, 6 with high fidelity)
2. Assign specific roles in your prompt to each reference
3. LTX interprets the combination based on your instructions

Reference Roles You Can Assign

• Identity/Character: Facial features, body type, distinctive characteristics
• Pose/Composition: Body position, gesture, spatial arrangement
• Style/Aesthetic: Color palette, visual treatment, artistic approach
• Lighting/Atmosphere: Light direction, mood, environmental tone
• Environment/Background: Setting, location, contextual elements

Example Prompts with Multiple References

Two References: "Use Image A for the person's facial features and identity, Image B for the pose and body position. Place them in a modern office environment with natural window lighting, professional corporate style"

Three References: "Maintain the character identity from Image A exactly as shown. Apply the lighting and color palette from Image B. Use the interior design aesthetic from Image C for the background setting. Shot as professional lifestyle photography"

Professional Workflow: "Keep facial features from Image A with 100% accuracy. Adopt the fashion styling and outfit from Image B. Place in the environment shown in Image C but adjust lighting to golden hour. Create cohesive editorial campaign aesthetic"

Annotation-Based Editing in LTX

Annotation editing gives you precise control over specific image areas without affecting the rest of the composition—one of Nano Banana Pro's most powerful features inside LTX.

How Annotation Works

In the Gen Space, you can mark specific areas of your image and provide targeted instructions for those regions only. The model understands spatial relationships and applies edits with surgical precision.

Best Use Cases for Annotations

• Selective object replacement: Change one element while preserving everything else
• Localized lighting adjustments: Modify shadows or highlights in specific areas
• Background transformations: Swap environments without re-generating the subject
• Detail refinement: Enhance texture, color, or clarity in marked regions
• Compositional adjustments: Move, scale, or reframe specific elements

Annotation Prompt Examples

Background Replacement: "[Mark background area] Replace this background with a minimalist concrete wall, maintain all lighting and shadows on the subject"

Object Addition: "[Mark empty desk area] Add a laptop and coffee cup in this space, matching the existing lighting and perspective"

Selective Color Adjustment: "[Mark product area] Change only this product to navy blue while keeping all other colors and textures identical"

Lighting Modification: "[Mark left side of face] Add subtle rim lighting from this direction, creating soft edge definition without affecting overall exposure"

Annotation-based editing reduces iteration cycles and maintains continuity—critical for professional workflows where consistency matters.

Nano Banana Pro Prompting by Professional Use Case

Product Photography

Create e-commerce and campaign-ready product visuals with commercial polish.

Structure: "[Product] on [surface], [lighting], [style]"

Examples:

• "Luxury skincare serum on white marble with soft window light from left, clean minimalist aesthetic"
• "Athletic running shoe on geometric podium with studio lighting, modern e-commerce style"
• "Artisan coffee bag on weathered wood with scattered beans, warm lifestyle photography"

Pro Tips:

• Specify materials precisely: "brushed aluminum," "matte ceramic," "glossy acrylic"
• Control shadows: "soft contact shadow," "no shadows," "dramatic side shadows"
• Add context sparingly: "minimal greenery," "subtle texture," "clean negative space"

Text Rendering & Brand Assets

Nano Banana Pro delivers pixel-perfect text—ideal for mockups, social content, and branded materials.

Text Rendering Rules:

1. Use quotation marks for exact text: "The text reads 'LAUNCH SALE'"
2. Specify typography: "bold sans-serif," "elegant serif," "modern geometric font"
3. Define placement: "centered at top," "bottom left corner," "integrated into layout"
4. Keep concise: 3-5 words maximum for reliable rendering

Examples:

• "Business card design with 'STUDIO CREATIVE' in sophisticated serif font, minimal professional layout"

For Brand Guidelines: "Generate social post template maintaining brand aesthetic: navy and gold palette, modern sans-serif typography, text reads 'NEW COLLECTION,' editorial style with ample white space"

Portrait & Character Consistency

Create characters that maintain identity across multiple shots—essential for campaigns and video storyboards.

Character Consistency Strategy:

1. Define distinctive features: "woman with small scar above left eyebrow," "man with rectangular silver glasses"
2. Use character tokens: "Character-Maya-wearing-blue-jacket"
3. Reference previous shots: "Same person from previous image, now in different setting"

Examples:

• "Professional woman in late 30s with warm smile and dark wavy hair, wearing casual cream sweater, natural side lighting, lifestyle editorial"
• "Executive in his 40s with short gray hair and confident expression, navy suit, clean studio backdrop, corporate headshot style"

For Storyboards: Generate your establishing shot, save to Elements, then reference: "Use character from Element [name], now shown in medium close-up during phone conversation, same outfit and lighting continuity"

Lifestyle & Environmental Photography

Capture authentic moments with editorial polish.

Structure: "[Person/people] [action] in [environment], [composition], [lighting/mood]"

Examples:

• "Young professional working on laptop at outdoor cafe, shallow depth of field with blurred pedestrians, warm afternoon light, natural lifestyle aesthetic"
• "Team collaborating around conference table in modern office, wide shot showing glass walls and city view, professional documentary style"
• "Chef arranging ingredients on marble counter, overhead composition showing workspace, bright natural food photography"

Photography & Technical Language

Lens & Focal Length

Different focal lengths create distinct visual perspectives:

• Wide-angle (18-35mm): Expansive scenes, environmental context, dynamic perspective
• Standard (50mm): Natural perspective matching human vision, versatile for most scenes
• Portrait (85-135mm): Flattering compression, subject isolation, professional headshots

In prompts: "shot with 85mm lens" or "wide-angle 24mm view"

Aperture & Depth of Field

Control what's in focus to direct viewer attention:

• Shallow (f/1.4-f/2.8): Subject isolation, blurred background, cinematic look
• Medium (f/4-f/5.6): Balanced focus for environmental context
• Deep (f/8-f/16): Everything sharp, ideal for product details or landscapes

In prompts: "shallow depth of field at f/1.8" or "deep focus keeping entire scene sharp"

Lighting Terminology

• Golden hour: Warm, soft light at sunrise or sunset
• High-key: Bright, minimal shadows, optimistic mood
• Low-key: Dramatic shadows, moody atmosphere
• Rim lighting: Backlight creating edge glow and separation
• Three-point lighting: Professional studio setup with key, fill, and rim

Example: "Golden hour rim lighting creating warm edge glow with soft shadows"

Shot Types & Angles

• Close-up (CU): Face or product detail
• Medium shot (MS): Waist up, conversational framing
• Wide shot (WS): Full scene showing environment
• Low angle: Camera below subject (power, authority)
• High angle: Camera above subject (overview, context)
• Eye level: Natural, neutral perspective

Conversational Editing Workflows

The Multi-Step Refinement Process

Step 1: Generate Base Image
Create foundation with core composition and style.

Step 2: Evaluate Strategically
Identify what works and what needs adjustment—be specific.

Step 3: Apply Targeted Edits
"Keep the subject and composition but change the background to industrial loft setting"

Step 4: Fine-Tune Details
"Increase contrast slightly and warm up the color temperature"

Step 5: Save to Elements
Store final result in Elements library for reuse across projects.

Effective Edit Prompts

Lighting adjustments: "Keep everything identical but add warm golden hour lighting from the right"

Background changes: "Maintain the subject perfectly but replace background with minimalist gray studio backdrop"

Style shifts: "Preserve the composition but apply cinematic color grading with teal-orange palette"

Object modifications: "Keep the scene but remove the laptop from the desk and fill naturally"

Best Practices for LTX Workflows

Save to Elements Early
When you generate an image you might reuse, save it immediately to Elements. Reference it in future prompts to maintain visual consistency across your project.

Build Storyboards First
Before generating video, create your key frames in Nano Banana Pro and arrange them in Storyboard. This lets you visualize pacing and ensure continuity.

Use Annotations for Precision
When only one aspect needs adjustment, use annotation editing rather than conversational prompts. It's faster and more predictable.

Reference Previous Outputs
When creating sequences, explicitly reference earlier frames: "Same character from previous shot, now shown in close-up with different expression"

Leverage Elements for Brand Consistency
Store brand assets (logo lockups, color palettes, style references) as Elements. Reference them in prompts to maintain cohesive brand identity across all generated content.
