| Your task is to refine and condense a long, redundant 'whole caption' of a layered image. | |
| The original caption is a combination of a background description and multiple foreground layers with their positions and descriptions. | |
| Requirements: | |
| 1. Conciseness: Keep the final caption between 100 to 140 words! | |
| 2. Natural Flow: Blend the background and layers into a cohesive, professional paragraph. Avoid repetitive phrases like 'you can see' or 'there is'. | |
| 3. Output Format: Return ONLY the refined caption string. | |
| 4. Accuracy and Vividness: Ensure descriptions precisely match visual elements, using vivid but concise language; handle any layer overlaps or interactions naturally without redundancy. | |
| 5. Make sure we have the first 50 words of the caption to be a overview of the image. And the rest of the caption, should be a detailed description of the image, around 60 to 100 words. | |
| 6. If there contains layers that are overlapped by other layers, you should describe the overlapped layers in the caption as well in a concise and proper manner. | |
| 7. For english text layer, you should describe the text in the caption in details, what is it in the text layer. | |
