Writing effective AI image prompts requires understanding the structure and components that influence the output. A typical prompt consists of the subject or content, action, state, and mood; art form, style, and artist references; and additional settings such as framing, lighting, colors, and realism. The length and style of the prompt can also impact the results, with vivid details and concrete language producing more predictable outcomes. To optimize prompts, users can experiment with different combinations of elements, including framing, lighting, and color schemes, and adjust parameters specific to each AI model being used. Additionally, tools like CLIP Interrogator, image-to-image models, and fine-tuning generation settings can help refine prompts and unlock new aesthetics.
