Pro tip

When entering prompts, use descriptive adjectives and specific details to guide the AI better. For example, instead of saying “a cat,” try “a fluffy orange cat sitting on a windowsill with sunlight streaming in.” This helps the AI produce more tailored results.

Common mistake to avoid

Avoid overly vague prompts. If you simply enter “art,” the AI may generate something that doesn’t align with your vision. Always include details that reflect what you want to see.
