# Lord of the Rings

Use the packaged runner and exact prompt. Do not call Replicate separately or
create another render path.

From the extracted kit's `v3` directory, prepare the local runner first:

```bash
npm install
npm run format:skai-image -- check --format=lord-of-the-rings
npm run format:skai-image -- smoke --format=lord-of-the-rings
```

Ask one short question:

> Which 3:4 photo should I give a cinematic Lord of the Rings sunrise grade?

Then initialize the free run. Omit `--model` for Nano Banana 2, or add
`--model=nano-banana-2-lite` for economy or `--model=nano-banana-pro` for
premium:

```bash
npm run format:skai-image -- init --format=lord-of-the-rings --run=<id> --input=<absolute-image-path> [--model=<route>]
npm run format:skai-image -- validate --format=lord-of-the-rings --run=<id>
npm run format:skai-image -- estimate --format=lord-of-the-rings --run=<id>
```

Stop after `estimate` and ask the user to approve the paid prediction. Only
after the user explicitly approves the cost should you supply `--approve-paid`:

```bash
npm run format:skai-image -- render --format=lord-of-the-rings --run=<id> --approve-paid
npm run format:skai-image -- inspect --format=lord-of-the-rings --run=<id>
npm run format:skai-image -- inspect --format=lord-of-the-rings --run=<id> --visual-pass --review-notes="<specific observations>"
npm run format:skai-image -- finalize --format=lord-of-the-rings --run=<id> --approve-final
```

Hard rules:

- Preserve the source composition, subject, pose, clothing, framing, perspective, and background elements.
- Use a user-approved 3:4 input before validation so the fixed 3:4 route can preserve composition honestly.
- Keep the exact gathered prompt unless the user explicitly requests a change.
- Use Nano Banana 2 by default, Lite for economy, or Pro for premium.
- Keep the result photorealistic: this is a sunrise atmosphere and color-grade edit, not a costume or environment replacement.
- Validate and estimate before spending, pause for explicit user approval, and never render without `--approve-paid`.
- Persist and resume the prediction id.
- Never exceed three attempts.
- View the output and record specific visual-review notes before finalizing.
- Never print, store, or commit `REPLICATE_API_TOKEN`.

Edit this photo into a cinematic The Lord of the Rings style while preserving the original composition, subject, pose, clothing, facial features, expression, camera angle, perspective, framing, and every background element. Transform the lighting into a soft sunrise from the upper left with natural god rays, subtle volumetric light, gentle morning mist, and a soft cinematic lens flare.

Apply a rich, natural color grade with deep greens, warm golden-hour highlights, a clean blue sky, accurate skin tones, and soft neutral shadows without an orange or yellow cast. Enhance dynamic range, local contrast, texture, and detail to an iPhone 16 Pro Smart HDR look while keeping it fully photorealistic. Create an immersive fantasy atmosphere inspired by The Lord of the Rings that still looks like a genuine sunrise photograph, not AI-generated artwork.
