```

```

## Tips from Filtrix's Experience

1. **Be specific about medium/style** — "oil painting" beats "artistic". "Crochet amigurumi" beats "cute craft".
2. **Lighting matters** — "dramatic side lighting", "golden hour", "soft studio lighting" dramatically change results.
3. **Composition keywords** — "close-up", "wide angle", "bird's eye view", "isometric" guide framing.
4. **Trending styles that perform well:**
   - Paper cut art / origami
   - Claymation / stop-motion aesthetic
   - Stained glass art
   - Double exposure
   - Knitted/crochet texture portraits
5. **For edits (image-to-image):** Be explicit about what to change and what to keep. "Transform the background to a sunset beach, keep the subject unchanged."
6. **Negative framing:** Instead of "no blur", say "sharp focus, crisp details". Most models respond better to positive instructions.
