Prompting tips

  • Describe the lighting explicitly — “soft natural window light”, “dramatic rim lighting”, “overcast studio” significantly influence the photorealistic output quality.
  • Use subject reference for campaigns — For consistent character appearances across multiple images (product shots, brand campaigns), always upload a subject reference.
  • Specify materials for product work — “brushed stainless steel”, “glossy ceramic”, “matte leather” push the model toward more accurate material rendering.
