Beat stock imagery with the right prompt 👊
In the never-ending search for "things AI is good at," we've found a big one: Replacing stock images.
In our latest playbook, uncover how AI can help you get around the need for constant, consistent imagery without resorting to clichés. Here are some insights to help you prompt image generators:
1. Think like a photographer. 📷 For the best results, apply photographic terms. You can and should get as technical as listing lens types.
2. Talk like a machine. 📠 Instead of natural speech, use commas, brackets and hyphens to help organize your thoughts. Words like “gigantic” will generate more nuanced outputs than the more vague “big.”
3. Try a lower "--stylize" value. ⬇️ Midjourney likes to produce artistic images by default. Setting a low stylization value produces images that are closer to your prompt, but are less artistic.
4. Try a higher "--stylize" value. ⬆️ You want artsy, even if it's less connected to the prompt? High stylization values are artsier, but sacrifice accuracy to your prompt.
5. Treat image generation like an art. 🎨 If you're looking to AI as a cheat code, think again. Human participation is key, so be sure to apply the same skill and persistence you'd afford your normal workflow!
