Prompting Tips for Google Imagen 4
To achieve the best results, Google Imagen 4 requires well-structured prompts. Here are some helpful tips:
Use Clear, Cinematic Language: Specify perspective, lighting, environment, and action. For example: "Close-up shot of a vintage camera on a wooden table, golden hour lighting with soft shadows."
Be Specific with Typography: When including text, define the font style, size, placement, and purpose (e.g., "bold sans serif title at the top, large, white") for better control.
Keep Spatial Instructions Simple: While object counts can be tricky, try to focus on larger scene context rather than intricate, overlapping elements.
Indicate the Desired Style: If you want a particular style, such as photorealistic portrait or watercolor illustration, specify that in the prompt.
Start Simple: Generate a basic version and refine the result after the initial generation to improve layout consistency and visual intent.
