🎯 Using Negative Prompts
Negative prompts tell the AI what to avoid in your image:
"a fantasy castle on a mountain"
"a fantasy castle on a mountain"
negative prompt: dark, gloomy, ruins, damaged"
🌟 Seed Management
The seed value determines the specific randomization used to generate an image:
Save seeds of images you particularly like
Reuse seeds with slightly modified prompts for consistent subjects
Share seeds with friends so they can recreate similar images
Use different seeds with the same prompt to explore variations
🔍 Detail Boosting Terms
Add these terms to enhance detail in specific areas:
Textures
"intricate details," "fine textures," "high resolution textures"
Lighting
"volumetric lighting," "cinematic lighting," "golden hour lighting"
Quality
"high resolution," "8k," "highly detailed," "crisp details"
Camera
"close-up," "macro photography," "portrait framing," "symmetrical composition"
Mood
"dramatic," "vibrant," "atmospheric," "moody," "ethereal"
🌈 Style Mixing

/imagine prompt:"A cyberpunk samurai in a neon-lit Tokyo alleyway" artistic_style:cyberpunk negative_prompt:"blurry, low quality, washed out colors"You can also combine style descriptions in your prompt:
/imagine prompt:"Portrait of a warrior with cyberpunk elements and traditional Japanese design influences" artistic_style:anime

🌐 Concept-Based Prompting
Instead of describing exactly what you want to see, describe the concept:
The concept of hope depicted through visual metaphor, ethereal lighting, symbolic imagery🔧 Troubleshooting
Too much clutter
Simplify prompt, focus on fewer elements
Unrealistic proportions
Add "anatomically correct" or "realistic proportions"
Wrong style
Be more specific about artistic style references
Incoherent scene
Focus on a central concept, reduce complexity
Poor composition
Specify camera angle and framing
Low detail
Add detail-boosting terms, use upscale
Unwanted elements
Use negative prompts to exclude specific items
🏆 Final Tips
Start simple and gradually add complexity as you learn
Keep a prompt journal of your most successful prompts
Study other AI art to learn effective techniques
Iterate and refine rather than starting from scratch
Combine commands for the best results (generate → upscale → remove bg)
Share your creations with the community to get feedback
Experiment constantly - AI image generation is still evolving!
Remember that AI image generation is a creative partnership between you and the AI. The more you practice and refine your approach, the better your results will be. Happy creating! 🎨✨
