How to Adapt Any Example

Change only one or two variables first:

  • Subject
  • Location
  • Lighting
  • Camera angle
  • Color palette
  • Constraint

If you change every variable at once, you lose the reason the example worked.

FAQ

Can I copy these prompts directly?

Yes, but you will get better results if you adapt subject, setting, and lighting to your goal.

Why do prompt examples sometimes fail?

Different models interpret style and constraints differently. Treat examples as frameworks, not guarantees.

How many examples should I test?

Test 5 to 8 directions, choose the strongest, then refine deeply.
