Establish the visual direction before animating a shot
Start with text-to-image when the composition is still open. A useful prompt names the subject, setting, camera or viewpoint, lighting, visual direction, aspect ratio, and the few constraints that really matter. Generate a small comparable batch, choose the strongest composition, and change one variable at a time instead of rewriting the complete brief after every result.
Use a reference image when a face, product silhouette, pose, or layout should survive the edit. Tell the model what to preserve and what to change in separate sentences. A narrow instruction such as “preserve the bottle shape and label placement; replace only the background with a warm stone studio” is easier to judge than a long list of simultaneous transformations.
A prompt structure you can diagnose and improve
Put instructions in a stable order: subject, action or condition, environment, composition, light, finish, then constraints. If the output is framed incorrectly, edit the composition phrase. If the product changes, strengthen the preservation sentence. This keeps each revision explainable and makes successful prompts reusable.
A matte cobalt travel bottle on pale limestone, eye-level product photograph, medium-close framing, bottle on the right with clean headline space on the left, soft side light, realistic surface texture and contact shadow. Preserve the bottle proportions and cap design. No extra products, no text, no watermark.Choose the final placement first
Select 1:1 for square cards, 4:5 or 3:4 for portrait placements, 16:9 for wide banners, or 9:16 for vertical screens. The frame affects the composition before any crop is made.
Protect the important details
List the identity, geometry, camera angle, label position, or pose that must stay unchanged. Review those details at full size before accepting an attractive background.
Finish outside the generator when needed
Exact prices, legal copy, long headlines, and protected logos deserve a controlled typography step. Generate clean negative space, then add approved text in a design tool.

AI image generator questions
Should I start with text or a reference image?
Start with text when you want the model to explore. Use a reference when identity, product shape, pose, camera angle, or layout is already decided.
Why does a long prompt sometimes perform worse?
Long prompts often contain competing instructions. Keep the core brief stable, remove decorative adjectives, and revise one visual decision at a time.
Can I rely on generated text and logos?
Inspect every character at full size. For important copy or brand marks, generate clean space and add the approved typography in a controlled design step.
Does this page guarantee an OpenAI Sora image model?
No. TrySora is independent. The exact image provider and model displayed before submission identify what will run.
