    Prompt Engineering

    Prompt engineering is the art and science of crafting instructions that guide AI models to produce your desired outputs. Mastering this skill is essential for getting the best results from Armox's AI-powered tools.

    Why Prompt Engineering Matters

    The quality of your AI-generated content directly depends on how well you communicate with the model. A well-crafted prompt can mean the difference between a generic output and a stunning, professional-quality result.

    Benefits of good prompting:

    • More accurate and relevant outputs
    • Consistent style across generations
    • Fewer iterations needed
    • Better use of your credits

    Core Principles

    1. Be Specific

    Vague prompts produce vague results. Instead of "a person in a city," try "a young professional woman walking through downtown Tokyo at sunset, wearing a navy blazer, golden hour lighting."

    2. Structure Your Prompts

    Follow a logical order:

    1. Subject - What is the main focus?
    2. Context - Where and when?
    3. Style - What aesthetic or mood?
    4. Technical details - Camera, lighting, composition

    3. Use Professional Vocabulary

    AI models understand photography and design terminology:

    Camera & Composition:

    • "35mm lens," "wide-angle shot," "macro photography"
    • "rule of thirds," "centered composition," "leading lines"
    • "shallow depth of field," "bokeh background"

    Lighting:

    • "golden hour," "blue hour," "dramatic shadows"
    • "rim lighting," "soft diffused light," "studio lighting"
    • "high contrast," "low key," "high key"

    Style & Mood:

    • "cinematic," "editorial," "documentary"
    • "minimalist," "maximalist," "vintage"
    • "warm tones," "cool tones," "muted colors"

    4. Include What You Don't Want

    Negative prompts help avoid common issues:

    • "no blurry elements"
    • "no distorted faces"
    • "no watermarks"
    • "no cropped edges"

    Prompt Templates

    Product Photography

    Prompt Template
    [Product] on [surface/background], [lighting style], 
[angle], professional product photography, 
high resolution, sharp focus

    Portrait

    Prompt Template
    [Subject description], [setting], [lighting], 
[mood/emotion], [camera details], 
professional portrait photography

    Marketing Visual

    Prompt Template
    [Scene description] for [brand/product], 
[style] aesthetic, [color palette], 
suitable for [platform/use case]

    Iteration Strategy

    1. Start broad - Get the general concept right
    2. Refine details - Add specific elements
    3. Adjust style - Fine-tune the aesthetic
    4. Polish - Add technical specifications

    Model-Specific Tips

    Different AI models respond differently to prompts. Check out the guides for specific models:
