3 Tips to Improve Gemini Image Quality
1. Avoid the Plastic Look: Never stack cliché words such as "ultra realistic", "8K", "photorealistic" in your prompts. Use the language of the camera instead: "shot on 85mm lens, f/1.8, film grain, natural highlights". 2. Describe the Light: Light is the most important factor in a photo's quality. Add descriptions that include the light's direction and quality, such as "Soft diffused daylight" or "golden hour backlight". 3. Work Incrementally: Instead of giving every detail in one go while chatting with Gemini, first ask for the main subject, then perfect the image in steps by saying something like "Make the light a bit more dramatic and blur the background more".
You can copy the ready-made prompts above, experiment with them in Gemini and turn the images you imagine into reality in seconds!
