4. Lighting: How is the scene lit?

Examples of Strong Prompts

Improved prompt: “A ceramic coffee cup with steam rising, placed on a rustic wooden table by a window with morning sunlight streaming in, photographed with shallow depth of field, warm color tones”

​

Integration with Other Nodes

The Generate Image node pairs effectively with:

• Slack Message Sender: Share generated images directly in channels or DMs
• Google Drive File Writer: Save images to your Drive for storage or sharing
• Gmail Sender: Include generated images as email attachments
• Content Management Nodes: Incorporate images into CMS posts via API

​

Important Considerations

• Restricted Content: The model won’t generate inappropriate or harmful imagery. Refer to OpenAI’s docs for content guidelines.

​

Troubleshooting

If your images aren’t generating as expected:

• Prompt Clarity: Be more specific about what you want to see
• Style Guidance: Explicitly mention the artistic style or medium
• Composition Details: Specify camera angle, lighting, and scene details
• Technical Terms: Use photography or design terminology for more precise control
• Iteration: Try variations of your prompt to find what works best using Loop Mode
