My facial expression is changed: confident, slightly surprised and charismatic, natural smile, expressive eyes. Both subjects are perfectly integrated with matching lighting, shadows, and depth of field. Photorealistic skin texture, sharp focus, high detail, studio camera quality, 4K resolution. Looks like an authentic behind-the-scenes TV moment, viral social media style, no distortion, no extra people, no artifacts.",

It starts with a form submission where the user provides an image URL, a custom prompt, and an aspect ratio. \n\n### **How it works:**\n\nThis workflow automates AI selfie generation and Instagram posting. When a user submits a form with an image URL, prompt, and aspect ratio, the data is sent to RunPod\u2019s Nano Banana Pro Edit API for AI image creation. The workflow monitors progress until the image is ready, then uses Google Gemini to craft an engaging caption and hashtags. The completed image is stored on Google Drive and published via Postiz to Instagram. Conditional logic, wait nodes, and error handling ensure smooth execution from upload to publishing.\n\n\n### **Setup steps:**\n\nConfigure required API credentials for RunPod (HTTP Bearer), Google Gemini, Postiz, and Google Drive (OAuth2). Prepare the Form Trigger node with `IMAGE_URL`, `PROMPT`, and `FORMAT` fields. Update endpoint URLs and folder IDs in relevant nodes, and replace placeholder Postiz integration IDs. Test the workflow using the provided form data, activate it, and monitor the execution log in n8n to confirm all nodes complete successfully.\n\n"
