Notes
- How I write a prompt: four iterations
From “a house” to a finished image — what I added at each step, and what the model never listened to.
- A seed is not magic
One prompt, four seeds: what a seed changes, what it doesn't, and why I always write it down.
- Steps and CFG: what to actually tweak
A lighthouse in a storm, one seed: 6–40 steps and CFG from 2 to 12. Where the benefit ends and overcooking begins.
- Negative prompts in SDXL: do you need them?
Compared with my usual negative prompt and without it. The difference is smaller than people think.
- SDXL Turbo: an image in half a second
One step, four steps and regular SDXL at 30 steps — comparing quality and time on a single prompt.
