Best Practices for AI Image Generation

Creating stunning AI-generated images isn't just about having access to powerful models—it's about knowing how to communicate effectively with them. In this guide, we'll share proven techniques to help you get the most out of our image generation capabilities.

The Art of Prompt Engineering

The prompt is your primary interface with the AI. Here's how to make it work for you:

Be Specific and Detailed

Instead of writing "a beautiful landscape," try "a breathtaking mountain vista at sunset, with snow-capped peaks reflected in a crystal-clear alpine lake, golden light casting long shadows, photorealistic style."

Specify Style and Medium

Include artistic references: "in the style of Monet," "digital art," "oil painting," "pencil sketch," or "photorealistic" to guide the aesthetic direction.

Use Technical Photography Terms

Terms like "shallow depth of field," "wide-angle lens," "aerial view," "macro photography," or "golden hour lighting" can dramatically affect the result.

Advanced Settings

Beyond the prompt, our system offers several parameters to fine-tune your generation:

Guidance Scale

This controls how closely the AI follows your prompt. Higher values (7-20) produce images that more literally interpret your text but might be less creative. Lower values (1-5) allow more artistic freedom but may stray from your prompt.

Seed Value

Using the same seed value lets you maintain consistency across multiple generations while changing only specific elements of your prompt.

Negative Prompts

Specify what you don't want to see: "no text," "no people," "no distorted faces," etc. This helps avoid common AI artifacts.

Resolution and Aspect Ratio

Consider your intended use when selecting dimensions:

• 1:1 (square) - Ideal for social media profiles and thumbnails
• 16:9 - Perfect for presentations, desktop wallpapers, and video thumbnails
• 9:16 - Optimized for mobile content and stories
• 4:3 - Good for prints and traditional displays

Iterative Approach

Don't expect perfection on the first try. Use an iterative approach:

1. Start with a basic prompt
2. Generate several variations
3. Identify what's working and what isn't
4. Refine your prompt based on the results
5. Repeat until satisfied

Remember that AI image generation is both a science and an art. The more you practice, the better you'll become at guiding the AI toward your vision. Happy creating!
