How to get a strong result
Tips for better results
Start with the subject, then add lighting, style, and anything that must stay the same. Upload a reference whenever you want a more controlled edit.
- 1
Keep prompts short
Turbo rewards clear subject and setting lines.
- 2
Do not expect Z-Image polish
Upgrade to Z-Image when CFG control and detail matter.
- 3
Batch similar prompts
Run variations while latency stays low.
- 4
Use for filtering ideas
Let Turbo narrow options; another model finishes the winner.
