Subject reference
Let the source image anchor the overall identity of a person, product or object, then direct the new scene and treatment with text.
Kling V1.5 Image
Generate from text or guide an edit with one subject or face reference and adjustable reference strength.
Reference calibration
Choose what the reference should preserve
Kling V1.5 Image has two practical routes in Flux Art: start from a text brief, or upload one image and choose whether it should guide the subject or the face. Reference strength then controls how closely the edit leans toward that source.
Face reference
Use this route when the face is the primary anchor. The prompt still needs to define pose, camera, wardrobe, setting and light.
Prompt-ledReference strengthReference-led
Higher values lean closer to the reference; lower values give the prompt more influence. This controls direction rather than guaranteeing an identical result.
Workflow fit
Where Kling V1.5 Image fits in a reference-led workflow
Use this model when one visual source is enough to explain the subject and you want a simple, reviewable balance between reference fidelity and new prompt direction.
Portrait direction
Choose face reference when facial appearance is the main anchor, then describe pose, wardrobe, camera and environment in the prompt.
Subject-led editing
Use subject reference for a person, product or object whose overall identifying traits should guide the new image.
Controlled variations
Adjust reference strength from 0 to 1 to decide whether the result should lean more toward the written direction or the uploaded source.
Text-led generation
Start without a reference, define subject, setting, composition and light, and use a negative prompt to exclude unwanted elements.
Edit boundary
Turn one reference into a three-layer brief
One image supplies visual context, not the complete instruction. Separate what stays, what changes and how the result should be delivered so each layer can be reviewed.
- KEEP
State what must stay
Name the identity, silhouette, product structure, crop or viewpoint that must remain.
- CHANGE
Define what may change
Limit the requested changes to the necessary scene, wardrobe, material, colour or light.
- FINISH
Finish with delivery details
Add composition, ratio, atmosphere, output size and elements to avoid.
Prompt starters
Kling V1.5 Image prompt structures
Treat the reference as one clearly named source. State what it owns, what may change and how the final frame should be delivered.
01Portrait variation
Face-led editorial portrait
Use the reference for the face only. Keep the facial proportions and short dark hair recognizable; change the wardrobe to a charcoal wool coat and place the subject beside a quiet rain-wet tram stop at blue hour, shoulder-up editorial portrait, soft side light, realistic skin, 3:4, no text.
02Product direction
Subject-led product setting
Use the reference for the exact ceramic table-lamp silhouette and control details. Place it on a pale limestone console in a warm minimal living room, three-quarter view, soft morning window light, natural contact shadow, clean copy space on the left, restrained commercial photography, 4:3.
03New visual concept
Text-only campaign still
A cobalt portable radio on a brushed aluminium shelf inside a compact listening room, straight-on medium frame, warm practical light with cool window fill, realistic materials, calm editorial campaign image, generous negative space above, 16:9, no words, no logo, no duplicate objects.

How to use Kling V1.5 Image in Flux Art
Kling's official reference-image guide explains that a source image can influence style, composition and colour, while reference strength balances the source against the prompt. Flux Art currently exposes one-reference editing with subject or face guidance, a 0–1 strength control, 1K output and eight fixed ratios.
Create with Kling V1.5 Image- 01
Choose generation or one-reference editing
Start from text for a new image, or upload one JPG or PNG when an existing subject or face should guide the result.
- 02
Select reference type and strength
Choose Subject or Face, then set a 0–1 reference strength. Higher values lean closer to the source; lower values allow more prompt influence.
- 03
Set the frame and review the boundary
Choose one of eight ratios, generate at 1K and review the preserved identity separately from the requested scene, style and lighting changes.

Kling V1.5 Image FAQ
What is Kling V1.5 Image?
Kling V1.5 Image is an image-generation model listed in the Kling AI Open Platform documentation. In Flux Art, the kling-v1-5-image integration is presented as a text-to-image and single-reference editing workflow; the controls shown in the workspace are the source of truth for its current capabilities.
What can Kling V1.5 Image do in Flux Art?
It can generate a new image from text or edit from one uploaded reference image. The current editing workflow adds Subject or Face reference guidance and a 0–1 reference-strength control, while generation mode includes a negative prompt.
How many reference images can I use?
The current Kling V1.5 Image editing workflow in Flux Art accepts one JPG or PNG reference image. Use that source to anchor either the overall subject or the face, then describe the requested scene, composition, light and visual treatment in the prompt.
What is the difference between Subject and Face reference?
Choose Subject when the overall person, product or object should guide the result. Choose Face when facial appearance is the main anchor. Neither option replaces the prompt, so you should still state pose, camera, wardrobe, setting, composition and light.
How does reference strength work?
Flux Art exposes reference strength from 0 to 1 in steps of 0.1. Higher values lean more closely toward the uploaded reference; lower values allow more influence from the written prompt. The control changes direction but does not guarantee an identical result.
What resolution and aspect ratios are available?
Flux Art currently offers 1K output with eight fixed ratios: 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 3:2, 2:3 and 21:9. Use the options visible in the workspace as the current source of truth.
Does Kling V1.5 Image support negative prompts?
Yes, in the current text-generation workflow. Use the negative prompt to exclude unwanted subjects, text, logos, duplicated objects or visual defects. In reference-image editing, put the preservation and change boundaries in the main prompt.
How should I write a single-reference editing prompt?
Write three layers: what the source image must keep, what may change and how the final frame should be delivered. For example, preserve a face or product silhouette, change only the scene and lighting, then specify composition, aspect ratio and exclusions.
How is Kling V1.5 Image different from Kling V2 New Image?
Both are currently 1K text-generation and single-reference workflows in Flux Art. Kling V1.5 Image exposes Subject or Face reference type and a 0–1 strength control in editing mode; Kling V2 New Image is presented as a focused single-reference restyling workflow without those two controls. Compare the live workspace options before starting.
Can Kling V1.5 Image output be used commercially?
Commercial use depends on the current Flux Art and Kling AI terms and on the rights attached to prompts and reference images. Before publishing client or advertising work, review the latest terms and confirm permission for people, brands, copyrighted characters and source assets.
