Prompts

A prompt is essentially a brief text instruction that guides the Craftbench Bot in generating an image.


Basics of Prompting

A simple prompt might consist of nothing more than a word, a short phrase, or even an emoji 😊.

Example of Basic Prompting:

  • Simplified Requests: Craftbench Bot excels with concise descriptions. Rather than compiling detailed demands, opt for clarity.

    • Less Effective: "Show me a grand medieval castle towering over a lush forest, with banners fluttering in the wind, detailed stonework, and a moat reflecting the clear blue sky."

    • More Effective: "Medieval castle with a forest background."


Advanced Prompting

For those seeking to delve deeper, prompts can incorporate image URLs, multiple text phrases, or specific parameters to refine the outcome.

Types of Prompts:

  • Image Prompts: Placing an image URL at the start of your prompt can guide the style and content of the generated image.

  • Text Prompt: This is your main description for the image creation. Crafting a well-thought-out text prompt can significantly enhance the quality of the generated images.

  • Parameters: These are used to fine-tune the generation process, affecting aspects such as aspect ratio, model choice, and image quality. Parameters are appended at the end of the prompt.


Crafting Effective Prompts

Word Selection

The choice of words is crucial. Opt for specific adjectives for better results. Instead of "big," consider "tiny," "huge," "gigantic," "enormous," or "immense."

Quantity and Specificity

Be precise with numbers and collective nouns. "Three cats" yields more specific results than just "cats." Similarly, "a flock of birds" is preferable to "birds."

Focus on Desired Elements

Describe what you want to see to avoid unwanted elements. For instance, specifying "no cake" might still result in a cake appearing in the image. For excluding specific items, consider using advanced parameters.

Prompt Length and Detailing

While simple prompts are acceptable, detailed instructions give you more control over the outcome. However, remember that fewer details can lead to a wider variety of creative interpretations by the bot.

When crafting your prompt, think about the following:

  • Subject: Define the main focus, such as a person, animal, or location.

  • Medium: Specify the desired artistic medium like photography, painting, or sculpture.

  • Environment: Mention if the setting is indoors, outdoors, or somewhere fantastical.

  • Lighting: Describe the lighting mood, whether it's soft, neon, or ambient.

  • Color: State your preference for color schemes like vibrant, monochromatic, or pastel.

  • Mood: Indicate the emotional tone, be it calm, energetic, or anything in between.

  • Composition: Choose your viewpoint, such as a portrait, birds-eye view, or close-up.

By considering these aspects, you'll guide the Craftbench Bot to generate images that closely align with your vision.
