AI Image Prompt Tip2026/05/19 23:44:27Shoot with "85mm f/1.8": how camera specs turn flat AI images into dimensional portraitsCamera optics vocabulary — focal length (35mm / 50mm / 85mm), aperture (f/1.4–f/2.8), depth-of-field — retrieves precise visual patterns baked into training data, turning generic "cinematic portrait" prompts into dimensionally grounded photographs. Includes a 5-row focal-length cheat sheet, per-tool guidance for MJ V8.1, Flux dev/schnell, SDXL, and SD3, three ready-to-copy recipe blocks, and the one structural mistake that kills most camera-spec prompts.
AI Image Prompt Tip2026/05/18 23:06:08Lock your aesthetic with --sref and --swMidjourney's --sref parameter lets you paste an image URL directly into your prompt to transfer its color palette, texture, and mood onto any subject. Pair it with --sw (0–1000) to dial the intensity, and add --raw in V8.1 to bypass MJ's default beautification layer.
AI Image Prompt Tip2026/05/15 15:57:43Replace "good lighting" with a lighting rigVague adjectives like "good lighting" give the model no signal. Swap them for a physics-based 3-component rig — Midjourney V7/V8.1, Flux, and SD all respond with consistently sharper, cinematic results.
