Realistic photography
A woman in a pale coat on a rainy street at night. Neon reflections, a medium photographic frame, soft background blur and cool light. Preserve natural skin texture; omit lettering.
A practical prompt guide
Build clear prompts for image generation and editing. Start with the subject, then describe the visual choices that matter.
1) Text-to-image prompts
Subject + action + setting + style + composition + light + details + constraints
Illustration and style
An orange cat with swimming goggles beside an aquarium. Use flat illustration, tidy outlines, a light palette and generous negative space.
Composition and focus
A steaming coffee cup in the foreground of a snowy mountain cabin. Distant trees fade into dawn mist. Use warm backlight and a wide cinematic frame.

2) Image editing prompts
Keep + change + location + strength + lighting + constraints
Change the background
Preserve the person, clothing, pose and framing. Replace the rainy street with a seaside promenade at sunset, matching the light on the subject.
Add an object
Add a small white desk lamp to the right of the table. Match the perspective and existing shadows, leaving the main subject unobstructed.
Change style, preserve structure
Keep the subject and composition. Render the scene in watercolor with paper texture, soft edges and gentle washes; add no new objects.

3) Best practices
- Start with a short description and refine one detail at a time.
- Specify camera, material and lighting instead of vague quality words.
- State what to preserve before requesting an edit.
- Avoid contradictory instructions and reuse character descriptions for consistency.
