Best Practices for Reference Images

Image Selection

• Quality matters: Use high-resolution, clear reference images
• Relevance: Choose images that clearly represent what you want
• Variety: Different angles and contexts help the model understand
• Consistency: Reference images should share the style you want

Combining with Prompts

Your text prompt should complement your reference images:

"A product photograph in the style of the reference images, showing a modern coffee mug on a minimalist desk, soft natural lighting from the left, shallow depth of field"

Number of References

• 1-2 references: Good for simple style matching
• 3-4 references: Better for complex styles
