Why the object usually drifts
Most models redraw the whole scene when you change the background — including the object meant to stay the same. The label shifts, the color drifts, small details disappear. If the object itself has to survive the change, that's a different job: this is what Qwen Edit is built for.
Attach the reference and switch models
Open the model selector and switch to Qwen Edit. Click References in the prompt bar and attach the image you want to carry forward — in this lesson, an earlier can shot from Picture Lab.
Write the prompt: keep the vibe, change the scene
Describe the new scene, then say plainly what has to stay untouched.
Place the can on a surfboard on a different stretch of sunny beach, with a surfer in the background glancing at it. Keep the hot summer vacation light. Keep the can exactly as it looks in the reference — same shape, same colors, same label text.
Generate and save the frame
Click Generate. The result carries the same can into a new scene. Add it to favorites — the next lesson uses a frame like this as the end frame of a video, and starting and ending a generation on the same unchanged object is what keeps it from drifting mid-clip.
One reference, many scenes
Repeat the same reference with a different prompt to place the object in another scene entirely. The object stays exactly itself the whole way through.
