Best Practices for Writing Prompts

Principles of Successful Prompting:

  1. Be specific — use precise descriptions instead of general terms
  2. Use active verbs — "change", "add", "remove", "replace"
  3. Protect what's important — specify what should remain unchanged
  4. Work step by step — make one change at a time
  5. Name objects directly — avoid pronouns

Common Mistakes:

Make it better

(too vague)

Improve lighting to warm golden hour

Transform the person

(may change identity)

Change the clothes to formal attire while keeping facial features the same

Limitations:

  • Visual artifacts after more than 6 editing iterations
