Prompting tips
Small wording habits that raise the hit rate of every render.
- Describe the light before the face — "soft window light from the left" shapes a portrait more than adjectives about beauty.
- Pick one mood word and one palette word per prompt; stacking five styles muddies the render.
- Use 3:4 for headshots and stories, and 1:1 for avatars — the crop you pick should match where the portrait will live.
- Ask for "natural skin texture" or "fine grain" to avoid an over-smoothed, plastic look.
