Expert Usage Tips

Change the “golden hour” keyword to “overcast morning” or “stadium floodlights” to instantly shift the mood of the environmental lighting.
Add specific team colors to the jersey description to tailor the output for brand-specific marketing campaigns.
Experiment with different camera lens keywords like 200mm for a compressed, tight action shot or 16mm for an ultra-wide, immersive stadium view.
Use the “8K” and “photorealistic” keywords to ensure the AI prioritizes high-frequency details like skin pores and fabric weaves.
