  2. Space before the dashes: prompt text --ar 16:9
  3. No space between the dashes: --ar not - -ar
  4. No commas or punctuation in parameters
  5. You can stack multiple: prompt --ar 16:9 --s 200 --no text

Instructor Tips

  1. Always Upscale Subtle on your final images — it's the safe default for sharper detail
  2. Be careful with Upscale Creative — it gives MJ license to change things you might want to keep
  3. Use Vary Subtle when you're close — Vary Strong when you want to explore
  4. Use Style is powerful for consistent aesthetic across a project
  5. Start with Low Motion for animation — High Motion can create artifacts

Tips

  • Be specific about your subject — "a 30-year-old woman with short red hair" beats "a person"
  • You don't need to select every parameter — Gemini will fill in smart defaults
  • The app automatically recommends the best AI tool for your description — you don't need to know which tool to use
  • If you want to try a different tool, click any pill in the "Try with a different tool" row
  • Selecting a Camera Movement option signals you want video — leave it empty for still images
  • Use the "Extra Details" field for references like "in the style of Wes Anderson" or "Kodak Portra 400"
  • Generated prompts are saved to history — click Copy on any past prompt to reuse it
  • Reverse Engineer: Upload reference images and describe what you like — Gemini will analyze the visuals, recommend the best tool, and build a prompt to recreate that look
