Inputs to customise

  • subjectThe person, product, object, logo, or scene to generate.
  • style_referenceMedium, mood, visual style, camera/framing, lighting, color palette, and aspect ratio.

Quality checks

  • The {{your_subject}} placeholder is replaced with a full person description before the prompt is used.
