Who this helps: Creators and small-business owners
Bring: Purpose, authorized assets, output shape and details that must remain exact.
Follow the workflow
- Use original images for a real product or place. Do not replace a missing documentary view with an invented one.
- For an abstract concept, describe composition, subject and intended use to an image generator. Treat the result as an illustration, not evidence.
- For exact text and logos, arrange supplied assets in a layout editor. Keep important wording editable rather than trusting generated lettering.
- Inspect the exported file at mobile size. Check cropped labels, contrast, logos, geometry and any implied factual claim. A conventional crop or pan may solve the problem without generation.
Worked example · illustrative, not a reported result
Illustrative decision: an actual campsite layout needs an original photo. A general “plan → record → share” concept can use an illustration. A business card with an exact phone number needs editable layout text.
Prompt to adapt
Replace placeholders with approved facts. Copy or download locally, then paste into your chosen tool yourself. No automatic import occurs.
Before you move on
- Actual item faithfully represented?
- Text proofread?
- Authorized assets?
Common problem and recovery
If generation changes a handle, accessory or logo, use the original image rather than describing the altered image as accurate.
