Writing Effective Prompts for AI Image Generation
A good prompt clearly describes what you want to see. Include the subject, action, setting, and key details to get usable results on the first try. Use specific details about your team, workspace, or uniforms to make training materials relevant to your business.
✅ Good prompt: "A group of servers in red t-shirts preparing for lunch service in a modern restaurant dining room. The servers are smiling at the camera."
❌ Too vague: "A server with plates."
AI can interpret prompts literally. Use clear, everyday language and avoid niche terminology. For example, "a server approaching a table" works better than "a server doing a table touch."
💡 Reuse what works: Save effective prompts to reuse across similar content.
Editing Existing Images
Update visuals when processes, equipment, or products change, with no reshoot needed. Use Edit with AI to replace generic or unclear images with visuals that clearly explain your training concepts.
Be specific about what to change or add, and focus on one change at a time to get better results faster.
✅ Good edit prompt: "Replace the pesto sauce in this photo with a marinara sauce."
❌ Too vague: "Make it look better."
💡 Try another version: Undo an edit with Cmd+Z (Mac) or Ctrl+Z (Windows), then try a different prompt. Use Crop image to add the final polish.
Adding Text and Branding Elements
Add instructional text, brand colors, or your business logo to make images more informative and on brand.
✅ Good prompt: "Create a minimalist fall-themed poster featuring this cold brew. Include the text 'Pumpkin Spice Special Edition'. Use autumn colors and place pumpkins and cinnamon sticks around the cup."
❌ Too vague: "Change this to our special edition."
Ensuring Clarity and Accuracy
Always preview images before publishing, especially for safety procedures, food handling, or critical training visuals. Accurate visuals prevent confusion and help your team learn the right way.
✅ Good prompt: "A female restaurant cook wearing proper uniform, including gloves, apron, and hairnet, while handling food on a sanitized prep table."
❌ Too vague: "A cook working in a kitchen."
Maintaining Consistency
Consistent visuals help team members recognize key figures, Roles, and environments across training materials. Upload your own photos and edit them with AI to keep appearances, settings, and visual style aligned with your training goals.
✅ Good prompt: "Change the setting of this photo of our CEO so she is smiling at the camera in the kitchen of a modern restaurant. Surround her with chefs in crisp uniforms preparing dinner service."
❌ Too vague: "Use an image of our founder and make her stand in the kitchen."
FAQ
How many prompt variations should I try before moving on?
Two to three variations usually surface a usable result. If none work, revise your prompt with more specific detail instead of repeating the same one.
Can I use AI-generated images in Courses used for safety or compliance training?
Yes, but review each image carefully before publishing to confirm it accurately reflects the procedure or equipment shown.
