- Combining several inputs without manual compositing: multi-reference editing takes up to 5 input images in one generation ([xAI](https://x.ai/news/grok-imagine-image-2)).
- Product shots and headshots, which xAI lists among its prepackaged workflows ([xAI](https://x.ai/news/grok-imagine-image-2)). The LinkedIn Yellow Scribble Portrait Space ([sloosh.ai/spaces/linkedin-yellow-scribble-portrait](https://sloosh.ai/spaces/linkedin-yellow-scribble-portrait)) fits the headshot job.
- Chained edits, using each output as the input for the next ([xAI docs](https://docs.x.ai/developers/model-capabilities/images/editing)).
