✍️ How to write a good prompt

Prompt is an instruction for AI – the more precise and detailed, the better the result.

📌 Recommended prompt structure:

[main theme], [style], [color], [composition], [camera/angle], [lighting], [quality]

💡 Negative prompt (optional, for clean output):

no text, no watermark, no blur, no distortion

🧪 Sample prompts for each tool

Mid-journey prompt

💡 Tips for better results

• Write in English – most AI models understand English best
• Avoid vague terms. (e.g. "cool", "nice"), be specific
• Work with variations – try different angles, light, environment
• Use a negative prompt – removes unwanted elements (e.g. text, artifacts)
• Get inspired in the galleries – Leonardo has a strong community section
