Prompting Guide and Examples
Describe the subject, the materials, the light and the mood in plain sentences, and be specific. For example: a modern timber house, warm evening light, large glass windows, landscaped garden. Add what to avoid in the negative prompt. If you are unsure, select the Prompt Assistant to improve your description, and change one thing at a time.

A good prompt is a short, clear description of what you would tell a colleague. You do not need special words.
Build your prompt in five parts
Part | Example |
|---|---|
Subject | A two-story modern house |
Materials | Timber cladding, black window frames, concrete base |
Setting | In a pine forest, gravel path |
Light | Warm evening light, long soft shadows |
Mood | Calm, inviting, photographic |
Put them together in one or two sentences: "A two-story modern house with timber cladding and black window frames, in a pine forest, warm evening light with long soft shadows, calm and inviting, architectural photography."
More examples
- Interior: "Bright Scandinavian living room, pale oak floor, white walls, large linen sofa, soft daylight from the window on the left."
- Commercial: "Glass-fronted cafe at dusk, warm light from inside, people at tables, wet street reflecting the lights."
Say what to avoid
Use the Negative prompt field in the advanced settings for things you do not want, such as "people, cars, text".

Habits that help
- Be specific, but do not overload the prompt. Five or six ideas are enough.
- Change one thing at a time so you can see what works.
- With an image input, describe what you want to change, not what is already in the image.
- Save the prompts that work, and use Copy Inputs to reuse them.
