What is the best structure for an AI image prompt?

The best structure follows this order: Subject (what you want), Style (art style or medium), Mood (atmosphere), Lighting (light source and quality), and Quality modifiers (8k, detailed, etc.). Put the most important elements first as AI models weight the beginning more heavily.

How do I write prompts for Midjourney vs DALL-E vs Stable Diffusion?

Midjourney responds well to artistic references and aspect ratios (--ar 16:9). DALL-E 3 prefers natural language descriptions and handles complex scenes better. Stable Diffusion benefits from negative prompts and specific model tags. Our prompt builder adapts to each platform's strengths.

What are negative prompts and when should I use them?

Negative prompts tell the AI what NOT to include in your image. Use them to avoid common AI artifacts like 'blurry, deformed, extra limbs, bad anatomy, watermark'. They're essential for Stable Diffusion and helpful for consistent quality across all platforms.

How do I get consistent character designs across multiple images?

Use detailed character descriptions with specific features (hair color, eye color, clothing). Include 'consistent features, same character' in your prompt. For best results, use seed numbers (in Midjourney: --seed 12345) and reference previous successful generations.

What's the difference between photorealistic and artistic prompts?

Photorealistic prompts use terms like 'photograph, DSLR, 85mm lens, f/1.8, natural lighting'. Artistic prompts reference styles like 'oil painting, watercolor, digital art, anime style, concept art'. Mix camera terms with art styles for unique hybrid aesthetics.

How can I improve the quality of my AI-generated images?

Add quality boosters: '8k resolution, highly detailed, sharp focus, professional photography, award-winning'. Specify lighting ('golden hour, rim lighting, studio lighting') and use artist references ('style of Greg Rutkowski'). Our prompt builder includes these automatically.

Pro Tips

Image Prompt Engineering Secrets

Master these techniques to create prompts that consistently produce stunning results.

Front-load Important Elements

AI models weight the beginning of prompts more heavily. Put your most important elements (subject, style) at the start.

❌ 'in a forest, highly detailed, a majestic wolf'
✅ 'a majestic wolf in a forest, highly detailed'

Use Specific Camera Lenses

Different lenses create different effects. 85mm for portraits (bokeh), 35mm for environmental, 50mm for natural perspective.

'portrait of a woman, 85mm lens, f/1.8, shallow depth of field'

Combine Artist Styles

Reference multiple artists to create unique hybrid styles that don't exist yet.

'style of Greg Rutkowski and Alphonse Mucha, digital painting'

Quality Triggers

Certain phrases trigger higher quality outputs in most AI image models.

'award-winning photograph', 'featured on Artstation', 'masterpiece', '8k resolution'

Midjourney Weight Syntax

Use ::number to emphasize elements. Higher numbers = more weight.

'red dress::2 woman in garden' (dress is emphasized)

Master Negative Prompts

Always include negative prompts to avoid common AI artifacts.

Negative: 'ugly, deformed, blurry, low quality, watermark, signature, bad anatomy, extra limbs'
