Effective Prompt Fragments
Do include:
- Technical quality terms (8k, high resolution)
- Lighting descriptions (dramatic, soft, studio)
- Style keywords (cinematic, watercolor, minimalist)
- Color guidance (vibrant, muted, monochrome)
Avoid:
- Subject matter (let user provide this)
- Specific compositions
- Scene descriptions
✅ Good: "cinematic lighting, dramatic shadows,
movie poster quality, 8k resolution"
❌ Bad: "a person standing in dramatic lighting
in a city at night"Negative Prompt Tips
Common things to exclude:
| Issue | Negative Prompt |
|---|---|
| Low quality | blurry, pixelated, low resolution |
| Wrong style | cartoon, anime (for realism) |
| Artifacts | watermark, signature, text |
| Unwanted elements | extra limbs, deformed |
Organizing Presets
Create presets for:
- Brand styles: Your company's visual identity
