How long should an AI image prompt be?
Optimal prompts are typically 20-60 words. Too short produces generic results; too long can confuse the model. Focus on the most impactful details: subject, style, lighting, and mood.
What words improve AI image quality?
Style: 'photorealistic, cinematic, editorial photography, professional.' Lighting: 'soft diffused light, golden hour, studio lighting.' Quality: 'high detail, sharp focus, ultra detailed.' These consistently improve output.
What prompt mistakes reduce AI image quality?
Vague subjects, contradictory instructions, excessive detail on unimportant elements, and generic quality terms without specifics. Focus detail on what matters most visually.
Should I use negative prompts?
Negative prompts can refine output. Common useful negatives: 'no text, no watermark, no blur, no distortion.' Flux Schnell generally produces clean output without extensive negative prompting.
