Second, prompt the general formula

Just like writing a composition in junior high school and senior high school, we need six elements: time, place, person, cause, process and result. Now we also need these elements: theme, background/atmosphere, composition/lens, stylization/reference direction and image setting. Obviously, the general formula is composed of these elements.

Three, three ways to generate pictures

1, pure keyword description

2, text and pictures

3. Pictures and pictures

First, pure keyword description

That is, enter "/imagine" in the input box, then enter your own description keyword to confirm, then send it and wait for the result.

Second, add keywords to the picture

Click the plus sign first, upload the required picture, enter "/imagine" in the input box, then enter the picture link, leave a blank, then enter your own description keyword, then press enter and wait for the result.

Three. Tujiatu

Use the blending function. If you enter "/blend" in the input box, a box for dragging pictures will appear. Drag the picture you need directly into the box, press enter and wait for the result. In addition, you can import not only two pictures, but also five pictures at most, so I won't go into details here.

Here is a little trick to pay attention to. The ratio of the two graphs should be as same as possible, so that the generated graphs will be more regular.
