Best Practices

Prompt Optimization:
- Use detailed, specific descriptions for better results
- Include style, color, lighting, and composition details
- Can specify art styles (e.g., "photorealistic", "anime style", "watercolor")
Reference Image Usage:
- Image editing: Provide the original image to edit
- Style reference: Provide style example images
- Multi-image fusion: Can provide multiple reference images (recommend no more than 3)
Image Size Selection:
- auto is suitable for letting AI automatically choose the best size
- Social media: Instagram uses 1:1, Story uses 9:16
- Web banners: Use 16:9
Image URL Format:
- All image URLs in image_list must be complete HTTP/HTTPS addresses
- Ensure images are publicly accessible
Generation Time: Typically 10-60 seconds to complete
V5 Lite vs V4.5: V5 Lite offers faster generation with comparable quality. Use V4.5 for maximum detail, V5 Lite for speed-sensitive workflows
