Tips for Better Images

1. Be Specific

Generic prompts get generic results. Add details about:

Colors and color scheme
Lighting and atmosphere
Composition and framing
Style and artistic approach

2. Iterate

Your first image is rarely perfect. Try:

Adjusting your prompt slightly
Changing the style setting
Using a different model
Adding or removing details

3. Use Style Keywords

Add these to your prompts:

“Professional photography”
“Minimalist design”
“Flat illustration”
“Watercolor painting”
“3D render”
“Vintage aesthetic”

4. Avoid Common Issues

Hands and text: AI often struggles with these. If needed, edit them out or plan to avoid them. Faces: For professional use, verify faces look natural. Consider abstract or distant subjects. Brands and logos: AI shouldn’t reproduce copyrighted content. Create original designs instead.
