How to write a prompt

Prompt structure

Structure your prompt like this:

1. Subject. For example, human, cat, flower, or castle.
2. Subject's attributes. For example, ginger cat, white flower, or ancient castle.
3. Subject's position. For example, in the grass, by the window, with a backdrop of mountains, underwater.
4. Lighting. For example, soft, diffused, cloudy, neon, or studio.
5. Color. For example, bright, subdued, black and white, or pastel.
6. Style. For example, minimalism, vintage, Gothic art, cartoon, comic, style of Picasso.
7. Composition. For example, portrait, close-up, or bird's-eye view.
8. Lens and camera settings. For example, wide-angle lens, long exposure, large depth of field.

Tips

1. Make your prompt unambiguous. Be as specific as possible in your description to get the best results.
2. Describe in detail. For example, instead of sunset in the mountains, write sunset in snowy mountains with pine trees in the foreground. See Prompt details for more information.
3. Specify an artistic style or effect. For example, portrait of a girl, watercolor or an art nouveau armchair. See Styles for more information.
4. Use specific numbers or collective nouns. For example, two girls instead of girls. Or a flock of geese instead of geese.
5. Don't add too many details. Neural networks can process a limited amount of data. The prompt's length shouldn't exceed 500 characters, including spaces and punctuation.
6. Don't hesitate to experiment. If you don't like the result, edit your prompt and try again.
