Creative Merge: combine two references into one new design

March 2026·by Loumix Team·3 min read

The silhouette of one piece, the print of another, the spirit of a third — Creative Merge blends references into something that didn’t exist before.

Creative Merge is the tool to reach for when you have two references that should somehow become one design. Drop them in, set the blend weight, and the model gives you a single coherent result — not a clumsy collage.

How to use it

  1. 01

    Upload reference A

    Usually the silhouette or shape. A garment shot, a sketch, a runway photo — whichever holds the structural side of the brief.

    Reference A slot filled with a runway photo of a sculptural coat.
  2. 02

    Upload reference B

    Usually the print, texture, or color story. A fabric swatch, a colorway, another garment with the right surface.

    Reference B slot filled with a close-up of a hand-drawn floral print.
  3. 03

    Set the blend weight

    A slider controls how much each reference dominates. 50/50 is a fair starting point; bias toward A if you want silhouette to lead, B if you want surface to lead.

    A horizontal slider with two end-cap thumbnails (A on left, B on right) set just past center toward A.
  4. 04

    Generate and iterate

    The output is a single new design. If it’s too A-leaning, push the slider toward B and re-run.

    A merged design output that visibly carries silhouette from A and surface print from B.

Tips

  • The two references should have something in common — both garments, both prints, both moods. Two wildly unrelated images muddy the model.
  • Use the result as Reference A in another Merge for a multi-step recombination.
