Gentle Winter Landscape Transformation

Add believable fresh snow while retaining the original landscape geometry.

Prompt

Transform the uploaded outdoor landscape into a quiet winter scene after light snowfall. Keep the terrain, buildings, paths, trees, and camera angle intact. Place a thin snow layer on upward-facing surfaces, allowing vegetation, edges, and sheltered ground to remain partly visible. Use cool diffuse daylight, soft shadows, and pale but detailed snow highlights. Keep evergreen foliage recognizable and snow accumulation physically supported. Do not add snow indoors, on vertical walls uniformly, or as floating clumps. Preserve any people and their anatomy; keep the original composition.

  • If the scene loses detail, recover subtle texture in bright snow.
  • If the terrain changes, restore the source path and building outlines.
