AI Image Generation Best Practices: A Professional's Guide

Follow these best practices to get professional-quality results from AI image generation consistently.

Prompt Writing Best Practices

1. Be specific — "A golden retriever puppy" beats "a dog"
2. Describe lighting — Lighting transforms mood
3. Specify composition — "close-up," "wide angle," "bird's eye view"
4. Include style keywords — "photorealistic," "oil painting," "anime"
5. Set the mood — "serene," "mysterious," "energetic"
6. Use negative prompts — Exclude unwanted elements
7. Reference camera settings — "85mm lens, f/1.4" for portraits

Quality Control Best Practices

1. Generate multiple variations — Never settle for the first result
2. Curate ruthlessly — Only use your best work
3. Check for artifacts — Look for distorted hands, faces, text
4. Upscale for production — Always use the upscaler for final output
5. Compress for web — Use the image compressor
6. Test at different sizes — Ensure quality at small scales

Brand Consistency Best Practices

1. Document your style — Create a style guide with keywords and colors
2. Use prompt templates — Standardize for recurring content types
3. Keep a prompt library — Save effective prompts for reuse
4. Apply consistent editing — Same color grading across all images
5. Standardize dimensions — Use consistent aspect ratios

Workflow Best Practices

1. Plan before generating — Know what you need before starting
2. Batch by task — Do all generation, then all editing, then all output
3. Use daily credits efficiently — Don't waste credits on experiments
4. Keep originals — Always save unedited versions
5. Organize files — Use consistent naming and folder structure
6. Version your work — Track which prompts produced which results

2. Don't infringe trademarks — Avoid branded characters and logos
3. Create original work — Don't copy existing artists' styles exactly
4. Disclose when required — Some platforms require AI disclosure
5. Keep records — Document your creation process

Ethical Best Practices
