Crafting the Perfect AI Image Prompt is Surprisingly Tricky
A single misplaced word can lead to unexpected results—too vague, and the Artificial Intelligence app guesses; too detailed, and it gets confused.
It’s a delicate balance of clarity, creativity, and precision. Trial and error become your best friends.
Sometimes, dozens of tweaks are needed to nail the exact vibe, style, or detail.
Getting the image in your head to match the output? Way harder than it sounds.
Below you see my attempts based on this prompt that I changed during the process. Why not give it a try yourself.
Create a realistic horizontal photo of a man refueling his rigid inflatable boat at a marina on a sunny day. He is wearing an automatic life jacket. The fuel pump must be clearly and fully visible in the frame, with the nozzle inserted into the built-in fuel tank opening located on the side of the boat’s console. Use a shallow depth of field to produce a soft bokeh effect in the background, ensuring the focus remains on the man, the boat, and the fueling process. All elements—lighting, proportions, materials, and reflections—should appear natural, accurate, and true to life.
I used Google Gemini, ChatGPT and Adobe FireFly. There are others but these I’m used to.
