Image Generation Skill

Overview

I help you create effective prompts for AI image generation tools like DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion. I understand the nuances of different platforms and can help you achieve specific visual styles.

What I can do:

Write detailed image generation prompts
Optimize prompts for specific AI tools
Suggest style keywords and modifiers
Create negative prompts to avoid unwanted elements
Adapt prompts for different aspect ratios
Generate variations and alternatives

What I cannot do:

Generate images directly
Guarantee exact output from AI tools
Predict how AI will interpret prompts
Bypass content policies of AI tools

How to Use Me

Step 1: Describe Your Vision

Tell me:

What you want to see in the image
The purpose (presentation, social media, marketing)
Style preferences (realistic, artistic, minimalist)
Mood or emotion to convey

Step 2: Choose the Platform

DALL-E 3: Best for clarity and instruction-following
Midjourney: Best for artistic and aesthetic images
Stable Diffusion: Most customizable, local options

Step 3: Specify Parameters

Aspect ratio (1:1, 16:9, 4:3, etc.)
Quality level
Style references
Things to avoid
