What is Negative Prompt and How to Use It?
3 min read
With a positive prompt, you tell the AI "what to draw". But how do you tell it "what NOT to draw"? This is where Negative Prompt comes in. This technique is vital for improving quality and cleaning up errors.
What is Negative Prompt?
AI models sometimes add unwanted things (blur, bad anatomy, watermarks). Negative prompt blacklists these elements.
Standard Negative Prompt List
A universal list to improve quality in almost any image:
ugly, blurry, low quality, deformed, bad anatomy, extra fingers, malformed hands, watermark, text, signature, worst quality
Customizing by Scenario
- For Portraits:
makeup, plastic skin, glasses (if you want without). - For Landscapes:
people, cars, electricity lines.
Conclusion
A good image is formed by knowing not only what you want but also what you don't want. When you strike this balance, you will be surprised at how clean the results become.
