  • ✓ Lighting: Time of day, lighting style (sunset, neon, dramatic)
  • ✓ Mood/Atmosphere: Feeling you want (mysterious, energetic, peaceful)
  • ✓ Style/Genre: Art style (photorealistic, painting, synthwave, minimalist)
  • ✓ Colors: Dominant color palette (vibrant, muted, neon, pastel)
  • ✓ Details: Specific elements you want included
  • ✓ Keep Focused: 15-40 words works best

✨ Prompt Enhancement

📝

Before Enhancement

"sunset over ocean"

Simple prompt - results may be generic or lack visual interest.

✨

After Enhancement

"Breathtaking sunset over calm ocean with vibrant orange and pink sky, silhouetted palm trees, gentle waves, golden hour lighting, professional photography, highly detailed, 4k quality"

Enhanced prompt - adds detail, lighting, quality keywords for professional results.
