How to Use Seedream 5.0 Lite
01
Select Seedream 5.0 Lite in the image workspace
Choose the model and inspect the image size, reference inputs, and credit estimate shown in the composer before generating.
02
Write a subject, composition, and lighting brief
Describe the main subject first, then its placement, surroundings, material, and light. Choose a shape that fits the destination, such as a square product tile or a wide campaign image, from the available settings.
03
Review the first result against the brief
Check object shape, small details, cropping, and any requested text. Keep the brief fixed while changing a single instruction, such as the background or light direction, so you can judge what improved.
04
Finish and export the selected image
Inspect the final image at full size. If exact logos, labels, or product details matter, compare them with the source material and correct mismatches before publishing.
Seedream 5.0 Lite Starter Prompts
Start with one image brief and change one visual choice at a time. The example below is a prompt to adapt, not a caption for a tested output.
A clean product-style still life
Photograph a plain cobalt-blue ceramic mug on a pale warm-gray surface. Three-quarter view, handle on the right, entire mug visible with generous space above. Soft window light from the left, gentle contact shadow, matte ceramic texture, uncluttered background. No lettering, logos, extra objects, or cropped edges.
Check the handle joins, rim, shadow direction, and crop. To make a second version, change only the surface color and compare the two images.
