1	STT	Technique	Category	Keywords	Description	When to Use	Syntax Example	Platforms	Tips
2	1	Emphasis Capitalization	Formatting	caps, emphasis, important, critical, priority, MUST	Use ALL CAPS for critical requirements that must not be ignored	When specific elements are non-negotiable	MUST include blue sky. NEVER add watermarks. DO NOT modify face.	Nano Banana, DALL-E	Use sparingly - 2-3 emphasis points max; overuse dilutes impact
3	2	Weighted Prompting	Control	weight, emphasis, priority, stronger, weaker, balance	Assign numerical weights to prompt terms for relative importance	When balancing multiple elements or emphasizing specific aspects	(important term:1.3), (less important:0.7) OR cat::2 dog::1	SD, Flux, Midjourney	1.0 is default; 1.2-1.5 for emphasis; 0.5-0.8 to reduce; Midjourney uses :: syntax
4	3	Negative Prompts	Refinement	negative, avoid, exclude, remove, no, without, ban	Specify what to exclude from the generated image	To prevent common artifacts or unwanted elements	Negative: ugly, blurry, deformed, watermark, extra limbs	SD, Flux, Leonardo	Essential for SD/Flux; organize by category (anatomy, quality, style); keep concise
5	4	Multi-Image Reference	Identity	reference, identity lock, face match, style transfer, consistency	Use multiple images to maintain subject identity or style	For consistent character generation or style matching	Upload 6 object + 5 human refs (Nano Banana up to 14 images)	Nano Banana, Midjourney, SD	Collage multiple refs into single image for efficiency; specify which image for what purpose
6	5	JSON Structured Prompts	Organization	JSON, structured, organized, layered, metadata, schema	Use JSON format for complex, multi-layer prompt organization	For detailed scene descriptions with many parameters	{ "subject": {}, "environment": {}, "camera": {}, "lighting": {} }	Nano Banana, any	Helps organize complex prompts; include meta_data, subject_layer, environment_layer, composition_and_tech
7	6	Narrative Description	Natural	narrative, paragraph, story, descriptive, natural language	Write prompts as flowing paragraphs like briefing a photographer	For models that understand natural language well (32K+ context)	A professional portrait of a woman in her 30s, standing in an urban setting at golden hour...	Nano Banana, DALL-E	More effective than keyword lists for Gemini; include context, mood, and intention
8	7	Photography Anchoring	Quality	photography, camera, lens, DSLR, professional, shot	Use photography terms to anchor quality and realism	For photorealistic results and specific camera aesthetics	Captured with Canon EOS 90D, 85mm lens, f/1.8, shallow DOF, natural lighting	All platforms	Include camera model, lens, aperture, lighting setup; triggers photorealistic training data
9	8	Color Precision	Accuracy	hex, color code, precise color, #, RGB, specific color	Use hex color codes instead of vague color names	When exact colors are critical	Background: #9F2B68 (dark magenta) instead of 'dark magenta'	Nano Banana, any	Hex codes are unambiguous; include color name for context; use for brand colors
10	9	Aspect Ratio Control	Composition	aspect ratio, ar, dimensions, ratio, format, orientation	Specify exact aspect ratio for output dimensions	When specific dimensions are required	--ar 16:9 (Midjourney) OR aspect_ratio='16:9' (Nano Banana)	All platforms	Match platform requirements; 1:1 social, 9:16 stories, 16:9 widescreen, 21:9 cinematic
11	10	Iterative Refinement	Workflow	iteration, refine, version, variation, A/B test, improve	Generate variations and refine based on results	For achieving optimal results through multiple generations	Generate 4 variations → Select best → Refine weights → Upscale	All platforms	Start broad, narrow down; save seeds for reproducibility; document successful prompts
12	11	Scene Layering	Composition	foreground, midground, background, layers, depth, z-index	Describe scene in distinct depth layers	For complex scenes with depth	Foreground: cherry blossoms. Midground: person walking. Background: Mount Fuji at sunset.	All platforms	Creates visual depth; helps AI understand spatial relationships
13	12	Style Mixing	Creative	blend, mix, fusion, combine, hybrid, mashup	Combine multiple artistic styles	For unique hybrid aesthetics	Art nouveau meets cyberpunk, or '80s synthwave crossed with ukiyo-e woodblock print	Midjourney, SD, Nano Banana	Use 'meets', 'crossed with', 'fusion of'; weight styles if needed
14	13	Negative Constraints	Safety	NEVER, avoid, exclude, prohibit, ban, NO	Explicit statements of what must not appear	To prevent unwanted content or artifacts	NEVER include text or watermarks. DO NOT add any UI elements. Avoid red tones.	Nano Banana, DALL-E	More effective than negative prompts for some models; be specific and explicit
15	14	Camera Movement (Video)	Motion	pan, tilt, dolly, tracking, crane, zoom, motion	Specify camera movements for video generation	For AI video generation	Slow dolly forward, then gentle pan right revealing the landscape. Fade to next scene.	Veo, video platforms	Use cinematography terms; specify speed and direction; include transitions
16	15	Identity Lock	Consistency	identity, face lock, same person, consistent, preserve	Techniques to maintain subject identity across generations	For consistent character representation	Use reference as EXACT facial reference. STRICT identity lock. NO face modification.	Nano Banana, SD (LoRA)	Upload clear reference; explicitly state preservation requirements; use JSON locks
17	16	Multi-Panel Composition	Layout	panel, grid, collage, multi-image, split, diptych	Request images with multiple panels or sections	For comics, comparisons, before/after	2x2 grid showing: [top-left description], [top-right description], [bottom-left], [bottom-right]	Nano Banana, Midjourney	Describe each panel clearly; maintain consistency across panels; specify layout (2x2, 1x3, etc.)
18	17	Search Grounding	Real-time	search, real-time, current, live data, grounding, factual	Enable real-time data for accurate current information	For current events, accurate data visualization	tools=[{'google_search': {}}] - enables real-time weather, charts, events	Nano Banana only	Use for infographics with current data; weather-accurate scenes; current event imagery
19	18	Thinking Mode	Complex	thinking, reasoning, complex, planning, elaborate	Enable AI reasoning for complex compositions	For intricate scenes requiring planning	Enable thinking mode for complex multi-character scenes with specific interactions	Nano Banana Pro only	Response includes part.thought; use for complex logic like 'kittens MUST have eyes matching fur'
