How to get a strong result

Tips for better results

Start with the subject, then add lighting, style, and anything that must stay the same. Upload a reference whenever you want a more controlled edit.

  1. 1

    Keep prompts short

    Schnell works best with clear, direct subject and setting lines.

  2. 2

    Do not expect Pro polish

    Upgrade when the selected concept needs delivery quality.

  3. 3

    Batch related prompts

    Run several variations while latency is low.

  4. 4

    Use as a filter

    Let Schnell narrow options; Pro or Ultra finishes the winner.
