ChatGPT photo prompt
A photo prompt names the subject, the light, and the frame. Stacking adjectives is how the picture gets muddy.
Four slots, then stop
ChatGPT photo prompt searches want the sentence that goes into the image tool. Use four slots: subject, setting, light, and constraint. Example: A ceramic cup on a steel table, north window light, square frame, no text, no people.
An image prompt generator GPT will expand a short idea into a long prompt. Long prompts are not more accurate. If you use one, delete the clauses you do not mean. Every extra style word is another way for the picture to drift.
Photos of real people
If the subject is a real person, say who holds the rights and what may change. Do not ask for a nude, a sexual pose, or a scene the person did not agree to. That request fails OpenAI's usage policies and does not belong in a prompt you copy from a guide.
For editing rather than a new picture, start from the image editor and describe the delta: only the background.
Questions
- What is a negative prompt here?
- A short do-not list: no text, no watermark, no extra people. Put it at the end. It is not magic. Check the image anyway.
- Should I name a camera brand?
- A lens length and a light source change the picture more reliably than a brand name. '50mm, overcast daylight' is enough.
- Can I prompt in Spanish?
- Yes. The image tools accept Spanish. See crear imagenes con ia for that wording.
