Do you keep it simple? Just long enough? Go wild with it? How about embeddings, do you also use them?
The more I learn about this, the more I don’t understand it. Outside of some basic enhancers (masterpiece, best quality, worst quality, and bad anatomy/hands etc. if I’m generating a human), I don’t see any big improvements. Every combination gives different result; some look better, some look worse depending on the seed, sampler, etc. It’s basically a matter of taste. Note that I only do illustrations/paintings so the differences might not be much. Do you keep tweaking your prompts or just settle with the prompts you’ve been using?
I’ve been minimizing the prompts I use ever since I felt the prompts other people use are too excessive. Though it’s not easy trying out the prompts as sometimes it changes drastically, sometimes it’s barely noticable, and not in a good or bad way, more like different “taste”.
Yep, I’m also a fan of short prompts. There’s something satisfying about being able to achieve desired flavors/tastes with as few words as possible. The only times I seem to need to feed it more are if I’m running controlnets and don’t want it to diverge too much from the original image.
