Prompt tips for better images
Edit in small steps
Make one change per run and keep the best result as the next input; chains of small edits stay cleaner than one long instruction.
Say where on the image
"Top left", "on the table", "behind her": positions help it place additions exactly.
Save credits at 1K
Iterate at 40 credits, then render the chosen version at 2K or 4K.
