5-Part Gemini Prompt Formula

Use case: Reusable prompt structure

Use my uploaded photo as the identity reference. Preserve [face, hairstyle, skin tone, body proportions]. Create [scene or trend]. Use [lighting and camera style]. Format for [1:1, 4:5, 9:16, or 2:3]. Avoid [fake text, logos, celebrity resemblance, distorted hands, plastic skin].

Tip: Replace the bracketed parts instead of rewriting from zero.

Identity Lock Add-On

Use case: Fix face drift

Preserve the original facial identity, eye shape, nose, mouth, jawline, skin tone, hairstyle, age, and body proportions. Do not beautify into a different person and do not change the expression unless requested.

Tip: Add this sentence after any trend prompt if the output changes the face too much.

Realism Fix Add-On

Use case: Fix plastic AI look

Make the result look like a real camera photo with natural skin texture, believable shadows, realistic fabric detail, normal hands, consistent light direction, and no over-smoothed beauty filter.

Tip: Use after outputs look glossy, cartoonish, or overly retouched.

Reels Crop Add-On

Use case: Vertical social video cover

Instagram Feed Crop Add-On

Use case: Feed post prompt improvement

Use a 4:5 Instagram feed composition with the face in the upper-middle area, enough shoulder detail for outfit context, clean background separation, and no important detail near the crop edges.

Tip: 4:5 usually performs better than wide crops for portrait posts.

GeminiAvoid unsafe trend copying

No-IP Risk Add-On

Use case: Avoid unsafe trend copying

Do not include real brand logos, copyrighted characters, celebrity faces, team marks, readable fake typography, app UI screenshots, or any affiliation cues. Keep the style original and generic.

Tip: Use for toy-box, poster, sport, movie, or fashion trend prompts.

GeminiSecond-pass correction

Prompt Repair Request

Use case: Second-pass correction

Revise the previous output only in these areas: [lighting/background/crop/outfit]. Keep the face, pose, identity, and composition that already worked. Do not restart with a totally different person.

FAQ

Common questions before generating

What should I write in a Google Gemini prompt?

Write the source identity rule, the desired scene, lighting, crop, realism constraints, and what Gemini must avoid.

Why does Gemini ignore my prompt?

The instruction may be too broad or contradictory. Shorten it and specify one visual goal at a time.

Should I write long prompts or short prompts?

For photo editing, a clear 50-90 word prompt usually works better than a vague one-line prompt.

Can this guide be used with ChatGPT images too?

Yes, the structure is useful for other AI image workflows, though model behavior may differ.
