FAQ

Q: Why do some models struggle with text?

A: Because the model learns text as pixels, not as characters. You’ll usually get better results by adding text later in a canvas editor.

Q: What are the 3 prompt parts that matter most?

A: Subject, composition, and style. Everything else is a modifier.

Q: Should I use negative prompts?

A: If your model supports it, yes—use them to remove artifacts (extra fingers, warped logos, messy background).
