Prompt Engineering: The Art & Science
Before & After Examples
Bad Prompt:
"a girl with a camera"
Results: Blurry, inconsistent, amateur quality
Good Prompt:
"professional portrait of a 25-year-old woman, holding Canon R5 camera, studio lighting, soft shadows, 50mm lens, sharp focus on face, flawless skin, natural makeup, wearing fashionable outfit, trending on artstation, 8k resolution, highly detailed"
Results: Sharp, professional, consistent quality across generations
Prompt Formula Template
[Subject] + [Pose/Action] + [Setting] + [Technical Details] + [Quality Tags]
Example breakdown:
- Subject: "professional Instagram influencer, woman"
- Pose: "standing confidently, looking at camera"
- Setting: "minimalist studio with soft golden light"
- Technical: "sharp focus, 85mm portrait lens, f/1.8"
- Quality: "trending on Instagram, professional photography, 8k"
Common Mistake: Token Weight Overload
Wrong: "(beautiful:1.5) (gorgeous:1.4) (stunning:1.6)"
Causes conflicting generation. Use sparingly - only for critical elements like "(face:1.2)" or "(hands:1.3)"
Settings Optimization: Configuration Guide
CFG Scale (Prompt Adherence)
- 7-8: Flexible, creative results
- 9-12: Balanced (recommended)
- 13-15: Strict prompt following
- 16+: Oversaturated, artifacts
Steps (Quality vs Speed)
- 20: Fast, decent quality
- 30-40: Best quality/speed ratio
- 50+: Diminishing returns
Sampler Comparison
- Euler: Fast, good quality
- DPM++: Sharp details, pro choice
- DDIM: Slower but stable
Seed (Reproducibility)
- -1: Random (new variation)
- Fixed number: Exact reproduction
Pro Tip: Optimal Influencer Setup
CFG: 11 | Steps: 35 | Sampler: DPM++ 2M | Resolution: 768x768
Generates professional portrait in 45-60 seconds with highest quality/speed ratio

Troubleshooting Common Issues
Problem: "CUDA out of memory" errors
Solution: Reduce resolution from 768 to 512, lower batch size to 1, or use CPU mode
Problem: Blurry or low-quality faces
Solution: Add "highly detailed face, sharp focus on eyes" to prompt. Use Face Detailer node. Increase CFG to 12
Problem: Inconsistent character appearance
Solution: Fix seed number. Use LoRA with character training. Add specific details in each prompt (eye color, hair style)
Problem: Bad hands/anatomy
Solution: Add "hands visible:0" to negative prompt. Crop out hands. Use detailer for extremities
