Here are some useful tips for creating your AI descriptions (prompts). By following the advice provided, you'll get better results for your AI images and AI backgrounds.
Be descriptive.
Describe the image you want and make sure to give the AI as much detail as you can. It can be helpful to imagine you are describing the image to someone who can't see it. As a general rule, the more detailed your description, the better the results.
Example: "A man in a white suit, with black shirt and white tie. The man is in his 30s and slim build. He is facing the camera" is better than "A man in a suit".
Set the scene.
Use visual and emotional words to describe the lighting and mood of an image.
Example: "A gloomy, foggy forest with a creepy atmosphere" or "a bright office illuminated by soft, diffused natural light."
Set the composition.
Consider the positioning of the objects in the image.
Example: "A close-up product photo of a diamond necklace resting elegantly on a deep purple velvet background. The necklace is centered in the frame, with a shallow depth of field to highlight the diamond cuts."
Include textures and materials.
Make sure you include descriptions of any specific textures or materials you want in the image.
Example, "A sculpture of an owl made of polished marble with a detailed, glossy surface".
Avoid ambiguity.
Generic terms can confuse the AI, so it is better to be specific and to provide more detail. If a human couldn't create an image from the description you enter, the AI will likely have difficulties too.
Example: Instead of "A beautiful landscape" use "A mountain lake surrounded by towering pine trees with crystal clear water reflecting the peaks. Soft morning light filters through the mist."
Consider using negative prompts.
Sometimes, it can help to tell the AI what you don't want to appear in the image. This can be useful with images that contain text. It is usually better to add the text manually in the editor yourself, so that it is on a separate layer and you can edit and move it.
Example: "A calm garden scene. Do not include cars, people, or text."
Experiment with broader prompts.
If you are looking for inspiration or something unexpected, try making your prompt less detailed and specific. The AI will have less information to work with, so will be more "creative" and random with its results. You might see something that inspires you and then you can create a more specific prompt.
