Write precise image-generation and editing briefs

Control composition, lighting, changes and protected features while avoiding accidental edits.

1. Describe the desired scene

Include subject, composition, visual style, lighting and aspect ratio when relevant. Prioritize the elements that define success.

2. Separate changes from constraints

For editing, say exactly what should change and what must remain untouched. Do not depend on vague words such as improve.

3. Inspect the output

Check labels, logos, text, faces, spatial consistency and any sensitive material before publishing.

Vague request

Make this image better.

Improved prompt

Edit the supplied product photograph: reduce glare on the glass, keep the product shape and all printed text unchanged, use soft studio lighting, and maintain a 4:3 crop. Do not add objects.

Key takeaway

Precise edits plus preservation rules make outputs more controllable.
