Apply these techniques immediately to improve your results
Instead of "a cat", try "an orange tabby kitten sitting on a sunlit windowsill, soft bokeh background, warm tones"
Lead with the style: "watercolor painting of..." or "photorealistic portrait of..." sets the tone for the entire image
Add "high quality, detailed, professional, 8K" at the end of prompts to boost output quality across all models
Lighting transforms everything. Try "golden hour", "studio lighting", "dramatic shadows", or "soft diffused light"
Tell the AI what to avoid: "no text, no watermark, no blurry, no distorted hands" dramatically improves results
Start broad, then narrow down. Generate 3-4 variations, pick the best direction, and refine the prompt for that style
