Tips for Better Gemini Photos
- Be specific about light: “golden hour”, “soft window light” and “neon night” change the whole photo.
- One subject, one scene: prompts with a single clear subject generate cleaner photos than crowded scenes.
- Change one thing at a time: if a result is close but not perfect, edit one detail and regenerate instead of rewriting the whole prompt.
- Free limit: Gemini’s free plan allows a limited number of image generations per day. If it stops, wait a few hours and continue.
