Best Practices

1. Be specific in prompts: Include style, mood, lighting, and composition details
2. Use Pro model for text rendering: Flash model may not render text accurately
3. Choose appropriate aspect ratios: Match the intended use case
4. Start with medium quality: Upgrade to high only when needed
