Why You're Prompting Wrong, Do This (Per Leonardo AI)

[@dhunter48951]

One of the better videos about the use of AI that I have seen.

[@lis4846]

I rarely get the image I need. The most difficult prompt have been the ones where I need "4 men, 3 are ___, the 4th is ___". It will either give me 2 men, or 4 men that all look the same. I also notice that on certain days I get a string of really great photos, and other days they are all a waste.

[@metricsmule]

Yes, I'm very familiar with that problem too. Do you have my Leonardo AI prompts database? If so, I just added a new form in there where you can request image/prompt help. If you enter your prompt and what your goal is, I'll do my best to provide you with exactly what you need. I could try to help here in the comments, but it's hard since we can't upload images/documents. metricsmule.com/leonardo-ai-prompts-database/

[@Tawny593]

Same. It rarely gives me what I want no matter how I prompt and it completely ignores negative prompts.

[@ahmedkhalil2414]

Hi, I had the same issue. Try like the following example.. three smiling persons (a blond German male, an Asian father and his 6-years-old Asian daughter) sit on the grass in a sunny park while a dog plays around them.

Hello Metricsmule, I'm 62, from California, currently a 2nd grade teacher in Siem Reap, Cambodia, a photographer by trade. Thank you so much for such an awesome and informative video. I am very inspired as I would like to make a positive difference in the lives of the kids here and I think Leonardo AI will help me do this. I literally purchased Leo 5 days ago and have been VERY frustrated with almost all of the "how to" videos out there.....then I found u! Thanx! I saw "Prompting" and was like....."what is prompting?".....which I kinda knew but not to the level you speak of. Now I Really know what proper prompting is and how to do effectively.....thanx man! Cheers! And if you're ever in Cambodia..... LOL! "And be careful out there, it's a freaking jungle! Best, Todd

I must say Leonardo AI makes some of the most realistic AI photos and have served well for some of my projects. However... I also think that Leonardo AI is THE most stupid AI I've encountered so far. Some important details often become so wrong that I somehow think Leonardo AI is intentionally printing bad results, to make me spend more tokens. An example: I want to generate photos as inspiration for a music video I am making. So I want a photo of a brunette woman wearing a black cloth blindfold, standing in the rain, and the rain hits her head/face and run down her face, including the black cloth blindfold (the prompt text was way more complex though but VERY discriptive). So... I get these perfect photos rendered. However... she does not wear a blindfold. And it's important for the symbolism of the music video. So I try to rewrite the text in the prompt. However... still no blindfold. Or... sometimes there is a blindfold... but... it does not cover the eyes (which... is not a blindfold). So I specifically tell the Leonardo AI that the blindfold covers the eyes entirely. I even add to the negative prompt that eyes are not visible etc. No blindfold. No blindfold covering the eyes. So I enter the editing function, masking the eyes out, telling the AI edit function to make the blindfold cover the eyes. It doesnt... it gives her glasses, googly eyes, different eyes that does not even match the head etc. These things have happened so many times. I mean... I've specifically prompted about an image showing a couple (= TWO persons, NOT three, NOT four - TWO), then describing the individuals (TWO)... and... Leonardo renders three individuals. Or I want a man and a woman standing besides each other, the man should wear a mask and the woman should not - and Leonardo generates two women and both wears a mask. It's so ridiculously stupid... I've never seen anything like it! :D If I genereate this with ANY other AI it understands it... however, the images themselves are not as good as Leonardo's. But I mean... can an AI be this stupid?

[@metricsmule]

Have you tried using their Canvas Editor for that and using inpainting? That usually works for me. Their edit with AI feature can work for this too.

[@GXRYZgg]

I hoped for something that isn't as obvious as well, but especially for the starting creators, this is something they yet have to discover and was explained on a level practicly anyone could understand... good job 👌

[@CreepyHorrorNight]

First, you start reading the Leonardo AI website and then you direct us to buy some prompts,

[@Goodieboyz]

what i'm having issues with is a prompt that helps with showing characters driving a car facing the camera and side profile and it doesn't look weird. I keep getting weird angles for the characters, radios in the back seat, weird seat locations, part of his head outside the car, haha I'll save this and hopefully you cover this and I will comment again hopefully saying you nailed it.

[@metricsmule]

Have you tried using pose to image, combined with other style references yet?

[@Goodieboy]

​@@metricsmuleyes. I always do pose then sometimes play around with each other option and it still doesn't matter. Then the other that drives me crazy is when you put AT NIGHT and it still shows daytime or no windows under negative and yep not just windows but LARGER windows like Ai is joking with me lol

[@Goodieboyz]

@@metricsmule actually i didn't see your responses but using the STYLE and POSE did seem to improve the odds while not perfect so at least its getting better lol Thanks

[@federicoverdicchio]

If words at the start of the prompt are weighted more heavily than I'm confused. I had a detailed prompt of a game character in a environment then I added "mecha in the background" at the end of this detailed prompt and it changed my character with a mecha...

[@metricsmule]

What is the specific prompt you're working on?

[@ScriptureScenes-s5r]

Can you also do for architectural renderings. As in and existing rendering to be modified to a different style.

[@metricsmule]

For sure. Leonardo I believe has a blog post specifically for architectural renderings. I'll see if I can find it.

[@ScriptureScenes-s5r]

[@marshallodom1388]

Nice vid, Stormy Night wasn't anywhere in the Pic. She's come a long way since her days as an adult film star, but a shame AI doesn't recognize her name. Well explained what needs to be said and how to say it so AI clearly understands. BUT! why the ever living Hll doesn't AI just do the F what I tell it to do? The more clear I try to be the worse it gets. Maybe they're becoming more "spoken word" description like Flux, without the need for commas and brackets, but I look forward to the day I can say what I want and can focus on actually being creative rather than just taking what I can get.

[@vXenaiv]

11:04 I see no difference between 3 rows, all of the images have accents on a viking first, only then a storm or a sunset or a beach))) So where do you see the difference between results?

[@kornrok1]

I struggle with immanent props joining the scene with a character. One image I have been trying for a while to create and image of a character on the ground reaching for gun that is just out of reach. No matter how I word it, the ai cannot differentiate hand and gun and always as the character in possession of the gun.

[@MarcusMuller77]

Can i use Chatgpt to create prompts, that me character have a consistence face in any poses? Thats very difficult.

[@metricsmule]

You can definitely do this in Leonardo AI using the image guidance and style reference tools. kzbin.info/www/bejne/al6wg6h_jJxkhaMsi=7wleaW_H3EKUHXIq kzbin.info/www/bejne/baOkoJacbr-mqKMsi=8igiV3HW-bGUeIyS

[@sci-fi.tsunami]

I'm a beginner. Leonardo doesn't give me anything but portraits. Whether I write the prompt or copy-paste the prompt form somewhere else, all I get are portraits. If I mention anything about "FULL BODY" it simply ignores it.

[@metricsmule]

Have you seen my latest video about using image guidance in Leonardo AI? You can get the results you're looking for (it's not perfect) by using two images for image guidance. One image for the character, the second image use "pose to image" and use a specific image that includes the pose you're wanting, i.e. standing upright with hands by your side. Also, mentioned in another comment was to use other dimension inputs instead of the default ones for fine tuned models. Let me know if any of this helps.

Great question. To start, I have hundreds of prompts on my website that you try and copy/paste however you'd like. For the mega database, once purchased you'll receive links to it. As long as you have the link, you will always get every new prompt and update. There is a column and a view that is sorted so you can easily see the date of each prompt added. There is also a tab in the database called "Google Sheets" where you can click the button "Open in Google" and it will instantly open up the document in your Google Drive. All databases and even the Ebook gets weekly, if not daily updates and new prompts/images added. metricsmule.com/buy-chatgpt-prompts/

[@jonm6834]

Tip #1: Start with the main subject - Begin your prompt by identifying the main subject you want the AI to focus on. I feel you ought to apply that to your video. That intense editing is so distracting. What is the subject you want your viewers to focus on? Every... single... word... and... transition? No. That's not happening. Blur the background to highlight the subject ;)

[@metricsmule]

Thanks for the feedback. 👍

[@jonm6834]

@@metricsmule Honestly, didn't mean to be harsh. Your content is good and well researched, I learned later in the video. The introduction was quite loaded, though. I get it: retention. VidIQ has a really good video on that subject. That style might work for entertainment, but education is a whole another story. I'd work on tempo, if I were you, meaning slower and more natural, and emphasizing the main points first with your voice first, then with editing.

[@metricsmule]

No worries at all. I appreciate comments like yours, they only help to improve. I have one more video coming out that may have a lot of edits, lol, but the one after that I'll try a different approach. Great feedback.
