Expert Usage Tips
Tip 1: Use a specific focal length like 85mm or 100mm to ensure the product has natural proportions without wide-angle distortion.
Tip 2: To enhance realism, describe the surface material in detail; adding terms like “brushed metal,” “matte ceramic,” or “full-grain leather” significantly improves texture rendering.
Tip 3: Adjust the –stylize parameter in Midjourney (range 0-1000) to balance between literal product accuracy and artistic flair.
Tip 4: If the AI adds unwanted elements, use the negative prompt to explicitly exclude “text” and “watermarks” to ensure a clean, usable commercial asset.
Tip 5: For e-commerce consistency, keep the lighting style and background environment identical across multiple products to create a cohesive brand look.
