Introduction

AI-generated images are a powerful tool, but crafting the right prompt is key to achieving the best results. Gamma’s AI can create impressive visuals, but it’s important to understand how to guide it effectively. This article covers best practices for writing image prompts that produce clear, high-quality results.

Understanding AI Image Generation

AI can generate visually striking and original images, but there are limitations. It may struggle with abstract or complex concepts, leading to unexpected results. AI-generated images may lack the emotional depth and nuanced interpretation that a human artist could provide.

AI also reflects the biases that are found in our society. This means that the image prompts generated by AI may not always be culturally appropriate or inclusive. However, as AI technology continues to develop, it is important to keep these limitations and biases in mind and strive for more ethical and inclusive use of AI-generated content.

How to Write an Effective AI Image Prompt

Step 1: Be Descriptive and Specific

Provide as much detail as possible about the image you want. Consider:

Subject: Who or what should be in the image? (Example: “a golden retriever playing on a beach at sunset”)
Style: What kind of look do you want? (Example: “in a realistic style,” “like a watercolor painting,” or “cyberpunk aesthetic”)
Setting: Where is the image taking place? (Example: “a bustling city,” “a serene forest,” or “inside a spaceship”)

Step 2: Use Adjectives to Set the Mood

Adjectives help shape the tone, color, and atmosphere of the image:

Vivid: “vibrant,” “colorful,” “bright”
Dark: “moody,” “gloomy,” “ominous”
Soft: “ethereal,” “dreamy,” “minimalist”

Pro Tip: Use Gamma’s Enhance feature to add detail and specificity to your prompt.

Step 3: Mention Composition and Details

If you want a specific focus or layout, mention it!

Focus: “a close-up of a flower with water droplets”
Perspective: “a bird’s-eye view of a mountain village”
Extras: “with sparkles in the air and a rainbow in the background”

Step 4: Choose a Medium or Style

Specify the medium (like photography, painting, or digital art) and/or the style (like abstract, surrealism, or retro). Be as specific as possible.

(Example: “a hand-drawn sketch of a futuristic city” or “a 1980s sci-fi poster”)

Step 5: Keep it Concise but Clear

Avoid overloading the prompt with conflicting ideas. Focus on the most important aspects to avoid confusing results.

Step 6: Experiment and Refine

If the first result isn’t quite right:

Add more details to clarify.
Remove unnecessary words to simplify.
Try different synonyms or phrasings.
