Create a carousel: a coordinated multi-image set
A carousel generates a coordinated set of two to four images from one setup. Pick a preset - poses, angles, outfits, or expressions - and SomaLabs creates a first frame, then varies each later slide along that one axis while holding the rest of the scene, so the set reads as one shoot.
A single image is a moment; a carousel is a small story. The carousel feature creates a coordinated set of images from one setup, varying a chosen axis from slide to slide so the frames feel like they came from the same session. This guide covers the presets, how the set is built, and how to get clean variation.
Pick a carousel preset
- Poses: the same look in several distinct body positions.
- Angles: one pose viewed from front, three-quarter, profile, and behind.
- Outfits: the same character and scene in different wardrobe.
- Expressions: one setup across a range of facial expressions.
How the set is built
The first slide is the anchor: it establishes the character, the scene, and the lighting. Each later slide is generated to move only along the preset's axis - a new pose, a new viewing angle, a new outfit, or a new expression - while holding the rest of the frame steady, so the slides differ on purpose instead of drifting randomly. The set is built slide by slide rather than all at once.
Get clean, distinct slides
- Write a clear brief for the anchor so the first frame is strong.
- Attach your character so the set is reference-guided across slides.
- Choose the preset that matches the variation you want.
- Generate the carousel and review the slides together.
- Regenerate a weak slide on its own if one frame does not match the rest.
Because each slide is its own generation, results can still vary between them. The anchor and the preset axis make the set far more cohesive than four separate prompts, but plan to swap the occasional outlier slide to keep the set tight.
