## Prompt

```text
Nano banana pro generates beautiful images even when left to its own devices, but if you specify detailed lighting, it generates images that match. You can also specify composition and subject matter, and since it seems to have learned a lot, it has high versatility.
Left: {lighting_specification}
Right: {lighting_specification}
```

## Variables

Replace each `{variable}` before you paste the prompt.

| Variable | Label | Example |
|---|---|---|
| `{lighting_specification}` | lighting specification | None |
