What You'll Create

By the end of this tutorial, you'll have generated:

• A product photo concept
• A social media graphic
• A blog header image

Step 1: Understanding Image Models

Model	Best For	Speed	Quality
FLUX Pro	General images	Medium	Excellent
FLUX Schnell	Quick drafts	Fast	Good
Ideogram	Text in images	Medium	Excellent
SDXL	Stylized art	Medium	Very Good

Start with FLUX Pro for best results.

Step 2: Your First Image

1. Find an image generation fabric or use an Ask with /image
2. Write a simple prompt: "Professional product photo of a ceramic coffee mug, minimalist white background, soft studio lighting, high resolution"
3. Click Generate and wait 10-20 seconds

Step 3: Anatomy of a Good Prompt

Image prompts work best with this structure: [Subject], [Style], [Setting], [Lighting], [Quality modifiers]

Examples:

Product Photo: Wireless earbuds case on marble surface, product photography style, soft shadows, professional studio lighting

Social Media Graphic: Modern abstract background, gradient purple to blue, geometric shapes, clean minimal design

Blog Header: Conceptual image of AI and creativity, digital art style, futuristic aesthetic, wide aspect ratio

Step 4: Refining Your Results

If the image isn't right:

Too generic? Add more specific details Wrong style? Specify the aesthetic Wrong composition? Mention framing

Tips for Better Images

1. Be specific - Details matter more than you think
2. Use style references - "in the style of..." helps
3. Include quality terms - "high resolution, detailed, professional"
4. Iterate - Your best image often comes from multiple attempts
