Standard Practices for Image Generation
Part of the Prompt Engineering course
The previous lesson gave you the intuition for how a diffusion model turns a text prompt into an image by denoising from random noise. This lesson turns that intuition into a set of habits for writing image prompts that land closer to what you pictured. The five principles from lesson three still apply here: you give direction, specify what the frame should look like, and iterate deliberately, the same moves you...
Ask an image model for a coffee mug and it will give you something, but the model is filling in every decision you left open: the material, the angle, the light, the mood, whether it looks like a photo or a cartoon. A vague prompt does not fail loudly. It just hands back a generic average of everything it has seen tagged "coffee mug." ...
