How to do it, step by step

  1. 1

    Write one style sheet — lens, lighting, palette, mood — and reuse it in every prompt.

  2. 2

    Generate in batches, pick two, then upscale and retouch rather than re-rolling forever.

  3. 3

    Keep the prompt with the asset so it can be recreated later.

What usually goes wrong

Confirm the licence covers commercial use, and never generate real people's likenesses.
