Reference image
A still image you provide to a generative model as a visual anchor. In image-to-video the reference becomes the first frame; in text-to-image with reference, it guides composition or style. Crucial when you need on-model results — the same character, the same product, the same setting. The photo-to-anime flow is a worked example: a selfie becomes the reference, and the model restyles it into an anime portrait while keeping the subject recognizable.
