  • Image Generation Mastery

Tutorial Overview

Use @mentions to maintain visual consistency across generations by referencing files as context.

Exercise 1: Basic @Mention Usage

  1. Generate an image: "Professional headshot of business person"
  2. Save it (it should appear in file browser)
  3. Generate using that as reference:
"@headshot but in casual outdoor setting"

Result: Same person, different context.

Exercise 2: Multiple Reference Strategy

  1. Generate 3 reference angles:

    • "Person front view"
    • "Person side view"
    • "Person three-quarter view"
  2. Use all as references:

"Based on @front_view @side_view @three_quarter create person in professional office setting"

Exercise 3: Build Consistent Series

Create 10 variations of same subject:

  1. Generate base: "Modern office interior"
  2. Reference it for variations:
    • "@office from different angle"
    • "@office with more plants"
    • "@office at sunset"
    • "@office with people working"
    • (Continue for 10 total)

Exercise 4: Brand Consistency

  1. Create brand reference: "Minimal modern aesthetic, warm tones"
  2. Use for all content:
    • "@brand_ref product photo"
    • "@brand_ref social media post"
    • "@brand_ref presentation slide"

All output matches brand aesthetic automatically.

Exercise 5: Cross-Project References

Scenario: Product photography using room as context

  1. Generate room: "Modern kitchen interior"
  2. Generate product in that room: "Coffee maker in @kitchen counter"

Key Takeaways

  • @mentions provide visual context
  • Reference multiple files for better accuracy
  • Build reference libraries for consistency
  • Saves time describing repeatedly
