[Subject] + [Composition] + [Lighting] + [Style]. One clear concept per prompt; naming the style helps (e.g. "photoreal", "anime", "oil painting").
"A woman in a red dress walking through a sunflower field at golden hour. Soft light, wind in the dress. Photoreal, romantic, 8K."
"Robot and human shaking hands in a futuristic office. Clean design, neutral lighting. Concept art, hopeful, detailed."
"Bowl of pho with herbs and chopsticks. Steam rising, warm lighting. Appetizing, photoreal, close-up."
"Medieval knight standing in a foggy forest. Armor details, moody. Fantasy illustration, dramatic."

Tell the model what should dominate the frame first.
Use lighting language early; it changes everything downstream.
When editing, describe what stays, not just what changes.
References help when continuity matters more than novelty.
A strong image prompt defines the subject, composition, lighting, and finish instead of leaving them implied.
Use precise visual language to control subject, composition, lighting, and style from the start.
Preserve the useful parts of the image while steering the rest with masks, references, or prompt edits.
Bring in reference images or LoRAs when consistency is more important than exploration.
Seedream v3 is strongest when the visual brief is specific about framing, style, and what should read first.
Use it for campaign images, product shots, subject consistency, or polished concept work.
When editing, say exactly what changes and what must remain untouched.
Lock the subject, composition, and lighting direction before you chase style nuance.
Use references or edits when the same subject, style, or layout has to survive across versions.
Once the frame works, refine only the weak areas instead of rewriting the whole composition.
Finish strong compositions by scaling them without rebuilding the frame from scratch.
Use editing tools after the initial generation when the composition is right but the details still need polish.
