This article is about the nuances of writing an effective prompt for NiceSender AI Image Generator. We’ll give you many examples of ready-to-use prompts that you can easily adapt to your tasks.
What the secret prompt is behind beautiful images created by AI generators?
Writing a prompt for an AI image generator requires certain skills and knowledge. To achieve optimal results, AI-generator experts specifically build this skill. Don’t worry: we’ve prepared some tips with which even a beginner in image generation will write an effective prompt to create a high-quality image of which you will be proud.
The prompt for the AI-generator is a text description of the image you want to get. The more detailed your description is, the more stunning the image the AI generator will create.
An effective prompt consists of:
1) A clear subject.
Identify the main focus of the image (person, animal, or object): lady, man, cat, car, etc.
When people see your image, their first focus is on the subject, but not everything else in the background. The way the subject looks can either attract or repel viewers away from the subject.
* To make it easier for the AI to create the character’s appearance that you want to get, add the name of some celebrity.
2) Composition.
Write how the elements are arranged in space – centered, offset, close-up, etc.
3) Style.
The selected style significantly affects the final result. Initially, the Default style is set in the NiceSender AI image generator. You can change it to any other style.
For convenience, the styles are organized by sections:
– Ads (Advertising, Automotive, Corporate, Fashion Editorial, Food Photography, Gourmet Food Photography, Luxury, Real Estate, and Retail)
– Art style (Art Deco, Steampunk, etc.)
– Standard (Sharp, Cinematic, etc.)
– Futuristic
– Game
– Misc (the styles that add various special effects: Metropolis, Fairy Tale, Gothic, Grunge, Kawaii, Manga, etc.)
– MK creates an image in the style of a famous artist
– MRE (Cinematic Dynamic, Surreal painting, Elemental art gives some spell effects, Space Art, etc.)
– Papercraft
– Photo
– SAI (Fantasy Art, Anime, Comic Book, Craft Clay, etc.)
Tips
- You can also specify the name of a famous artist in the prompt, to create an imitation of their style.
- Different styles can be combined.
- In NiceSender AI-generator you can specify a style in the settings, or specify it in the prompt itself. But the result will be different.
- If you need an image as close as possible to real professional photography, we recommend you to try generation with these styles: Long Exposure Photo, Glamour, Hdr.
4) Colors
Specify the main colors or palette in the prompt to achieve the desired result.
5) Lighting
This includes the time of day, shadows, light sources, etc.
To achieve stunning results with prompts, pay attention to the type of lighting. Options for lighting and light effects include
- side lighting,
- chiaroscuro,
- reflections,
- refraction,
- diffraction,
- low lighting,
- increased depth of field,
- shadow casting,
- mutual light reflection from surfaces,
- emphasizing the volume of forms,
- color correction, etc.
For example, you can specify cinematic lighting, warm sunlight, dark lighting for a somber atmosphere, etc.
6) Background
Clarifying the surrounding environment or describing the landscape around the subject will make the result more precise. For example, a detailed background of stars and planets, a high-tech office.
7) Materials, media, methods, techniques, and tools for creating the image
These elements give more specificity to your picture.
For example, oil painting, illustration, 3D rendering, Blender rendering, photography, vector graphics, glitch art effects, etc.
8) Details
Add any descriptive features: a red shirt, a pink floral sundress, glasses, flowers in hair, wings, a crown, and so on. The details will help you create an image you’ll love.
Tips
For instance, you can add descriptions like “sharp focus” and “high detail,” and you’ll see a difference in the final result.
Combine various adjectives that describe the result or landscape you want to achieve.
Describe what the main character is wearing, the color and style of their hair, as well as any other background details. The more descriptive the prompt is, the better results you will get.
Write words with clear and direct meanings to avoid misunderstandings.
A prompt “A slender man standing in a full-length” will give you creepy Slender Man😁. Use a word slim or fit instead of a word “slender” to generate a picture of a handsome man instead of a dreadful Slender Man.
