Before you start
Read this before generating an AI image
AI image tools do not only react to the object you name. They also interpret visual context: camera angle, composition, lighting, mood, style, background, color palette, level of realism, and output format. A prompt such as “a shoe” leaves too many choices open. A prompt such as “studio product photo of a white running shoe, side view, softbox lighting, clean white background, sharp focus, commercial catalog style” gives the model a much clearer target.
How AI image prompting works
Start with the subject. Name the person, product, object, place, or scene first. Then add what should be visible and what should stay out of the image.
Add visual treatment. Define photo, illustration, 3D render, vector logo, cinematic still, infographic, social post, or portrait. Then add composition cues such as close-up, wide shot, centered subject, top-down view, or white space for text.
Control mood and clarity. Lighting changes the whole mood. Studio lighting feels clean, golden hour feels warm, neon feels futuristic, and soft natural light works well for lifestyle scenes. Keep image text short and ask for readable typography.
FAQ
Why does the prompt start with “Make a picture, with…”?▼
The fixed opening makes the output predictable and keeps the prompt focused on image generation instead of general writing. The dropdowns then add the useful visual details: image type, format, subject, lighting, composition, colors, text labels, and quality rules.
Can I use this for product photos?▼
Yes. Choose “Product photo,” add the product as the main subject, select studio or ecommerce lighting, and use a clean background rule. For real products, check the final image carefully before using it commercially.
Can I add a brand color?▼
Yes. Use the accent color field and choose a suggested hex color or type your own. Hex colors help image tools understand the desired color direction, but exact color matching can still vary by model.
Should I put text inside AI images?▼
Only when the text is short. AI image tools can still make spelling and typography mistakes. For ads, covers, and social posts, it is often safer to leave space for text and add the final typography later in a design tool.
What is the difference between ChatGPT and Raphael here?▼
ChatGPT is useful if you want to refine the image idea, generate variations, or use ChatGPT image tools when available. Raphael is focused on image generation and receives the image prompt directly.
