1. A method for generative image acquisition, comprising:
receiving a query that specifies a first component and a second component relating to features of an image;
obtaining a first set of images retrieved according to the query;
determining that the first set of images has the first component and a third component, the third component being different from the second component, wherein the second component has an attribute and the third component has an attribute;
comparing the first set of images to the query;
determining that the second component is missing from the first set of images compared to the query thereby identifying the second component as a missing component;
modifying one of the first set of images to replace the third component with the second component to generate a second set of images based on the first set of images, the second set of images including the second component, wherein a generating module modifies the one of the first set of images by changing the third component attribute in the one of the first set of images to the second component attribute; and
presenting the second set of images.
