Prompt-writing rules for ChatGPT Image 2
- Start with the main subject so ChatGPT Image 2 knows what the image is about.
- Name the format: product photo, portrait, poster, UI mockup, social graphic, illustration, or image edit.
- Describe composition with crop, camera angle, focal point, background, and where important text should sit.
- Control lighting with concrete terms such as softbox, rim light, golden hour, neon, overcast daylight, or high-key studio.
- Specify colors and contrast so the output matches the brand, campaign, or mood.
- Quote exact text for posters, labels, UI images, and thumbnails, and keep embedded words short.
- Say what must stay unchanged when editing: face identity, product shape, label, logo, pose, color, or layout.
- Use reference images when consistency matters for products, characters, faces, rooms, or campaign sets.
- Write one clear prompt first, then refine one element at a time instead of stacking conflicting instructions.
- Match the prompt to the final use case: ecommerce listing, landing page hero, ad creative, thumbnail, deck, or social post.
