How to Refine an Image Prompt
- Change one major variable at a time so you can understand its effect.
- Describe composition, lighting, materials, mood, and intended use.
- Add text and factual labels later in a design tool; image generators often render words inaccurately.
- Check outputs for visual errors, bias, copyright concerns, and misleading representations.
- Do not upload private photos, confidential designs, or sensitive client material unless the service and your organization explicitly allow it.
