Test setup

Size: 1024×1024
Steps: 30
Guidance scale: 3.5
Samples: 1
Negative prompt: “bad, blurry, watermark”

Test 1: Chinese text rendering

Ladybug holding a sign with Chinese characters — Prompt: Macro photo of a ladybug holding a small sign with the Chinese characters 可图. Ultra-detailed. Shallow depth of field. Natural light.

This prompt checks small text legibility plus macro detail. If characters warp, try fewer style adjectives and ask for a larger sign.

Test 2: Neon sign typography in a complex scene

Cyberpunk rainy street with a neon WIRO sign — Prompt: Cinematic cyberpunk street at night in the rain. Neon sign reads WIRO in bold letters. Reflections on wet pavement. High detail.

Text inside busy lighting often breaks in subtle ways. A good result keeps the word readable while preserving reflections and rain mood.

Test 3: Portrait + sunset lighting

Woman in a red dress on a rooftop at sunset — Prompt: A woman with long black hair, wearing a red dress, stands on a rooftop, gazing at the golden sunset. City skyline in the background. Cinematic lighting. Realistic.

Portrait prompts show how well the model handles skin, hair, and color grading. Keep the prompt simple if faces drift.

Test 4: Epic sci-fi scale

Gas giant planet with rings and floating cities — Prompt: A colossal gas giant with swirling orange and blue storms dominates the sky, surrounded by a massive ring system. Floating cities hover above the clouds. Epic scale. Ultra-HD.

This checks composition and worldbuilding. The best outputs keep coherent lighting and readable structures even with lots of elements.

Test 5: Clean product photo

Japanese bento box product photo — Prompt: Studio product photo of a Japanese bento box on a clean white table. Chopsticks beside it. Soft shadows. High detail. 85mm lens.

Product-style prompts rely on believable shadows and materials. If props drift, state exact counts and keep the scene minimal.

Test 6: Minimal poster typography

Minimalist poster with KOLORS text — Prompt: Minimalist poster design. Big title text: KOLORS. Small subtitle text: TEXT TO IMAGE. Clean layout, high contrast, subtle grain.

Poster prompts are a fast way to test layout and text. If the letters are not perfect, generate the background and add type in a design tool.

Quick takeaways

What was tested	What worked	What to watch
Chinese and English text	Readable layouts in many cases	Exact typography can still deform
Complex scenes	Strong mood and composition	Busy prompts can introduce artifacts
Product lighting	Soft studio shadows	Prop counts can drift without anchors
