Steps

1Write the brief and set the shape

Describe the angle, the subject, the setting, and the light. Then pick the aspect ratio you're going to post in, because you can't change it afterward.

2Add a reference photo if you need one

To include a specific object, check Provide reference images and add up to 10 photos of it. Not every model offers reference images. A photo gives the generator more to go on than a description alone.
