Best practices & advanced tips when generating in Google Flow
Get the most out of every generation with these tips:
Prepare clean ingredients
When you add ingredients to your prompt, provide subject or product references on a plain or segmented background.
Make sure location and style references don't contain extra subjects, unless that is your creative intent.
Avoid conflicting guidance
Your text prompt should complement, not contradict, your visual inputs.
Make sure your prompt references the frames or ingredients you've provided.
A consistent look and feel across all your ingredient images helps the model blend them more effectively.
