Your prompt

Create a 4:5 lifestyle product photograph of a linen throw blanket in sage green in a sunlit reading nook with a rattan armchair, styled for design-conscious renters. Composition: the product sits on the lower-third intersection, in sharp focus; supporting props (a ceramic mug, a paperback book and a small plant) are arranged around it and slightly out of focus so they never compete with the product. Light: warm late-afternoon window light from the left, with natural shadows and gentle highlights that show the product's material. Look: editorial lifestyle photography, shallow depth of field, sage, cream and warm oak colour palette, believable and lived-in rather than staged. Product fidelity: visible linen weave, soft frayed edge, true sage colour; keep proportions and colours accurate. Constraints: no text, no extra logos, no people, nothing covering the product.

Example of what to expect

Illustrative only. It describes the kind of result this prompt aims for; real output varies by tool, model and run.

A 4:5 scene: a sage linen throw draped over a rattan chair in a sunlit nook, a mug and book slightly out of focus, warm light from the left.

Expected format: One image; shortlist the clearest of four variants.

How to use it

  1. Keep props few and relevant to your audience's real life.
  2. Generate several settings by changing only SETTING.
  3. Check product colour accuracy against the physical item.

Limitations

  • AI scenes can show impossible physics or odd prop details; scan the whole frame, not just the product.
  • Do not use generated lifestyle images to imply that a product is made, sourced or used in ways it is not.

Aspect ratio is set with the size parameter, not in prose. Use medium or high quality for fine detail.

General notes on OpenAI GPT Image
  • OpenAI's guide covers gpt-image-2 (recommended), gpt-image-1.5, gpt-image-1 and gpt-image-1-mini.
  • Aspect ratio is set through the size parameter, not in prose. Quality is low, medium or high; medium or high is advised for small or dense text.
  • Put literal text in quotation marks, and when editing say what must stay unchanged.

FLUX (Black Forest Labs)

Official docs read · checked 2026-10-11

FLUX.2 does not use negative prompts, so constraints here are phrased as things to do.

General notes on FLUX (Black Forest Labs)
  • BFL's official guidance for FLUX.2: no negative prompts (describe what you want), write sentences rather than keyword lists, specify lighting, quote text to render, and pair colour names with hex codes.

Midjourney

Not verified: third-party guidance only · checked 2026-10-11

Append parameters after the prompt (for example --ar 1:1). Parameter names and ranges vary by model version, and Midjourney's official list could not be read on 2026-10-11, so check the live docs.

General notes on Midjourney
  • Parameters go at the end of the prompt (for example --ar for aspect ratio). Parameter names and ranges vary by model version.
  • We could not read Midjourney's official parameter list on the verification date, so check the live docs for your model version before relying on any parameter shown here.

Any image generator

General notes on Any image generator
  • Written as natural-language descriptions that the verified image models accept. Syntax for aspect ratio, quality and negative prompts differs by tool, so set those in your tool's own controls.
