Best Practices

Do's

  • Be specific and detailed in your prompts
  • Include style, mood, and composition details
  • Specify colors, lighting, and atmosphere
  • Use descriptive adjectives for better results
  • Test prompts iteratively to refine output
  • Store generated image URLs for later use

Don'ts

  • Don't use vague or ambiguous prompts
  • Avoid contradictory descriptions
  • Don't forget to check API usage limits
  • Avoid generating inappropriate content
  • Don't rely on first generation - iterate
  • Avoid very long prompts (keep under 200 words)
💡
Pro Tip: Start with a clear subject, add style descriptors (e.g., 'photorealistic', 'watercolor', 'minimalist'), specify lighting and mood, then add composition details. For example: 'A golden retriever (subject), oil painting style (style), warm sunset lighting (lighting), sitting in a meadow (composition)'.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Poor Quality Results

Symptoms: Generated images don't match expectations

Solution: Refine your prompt with more specific details. Include style references, lighting conditions, and compositional elements. Try adding phrases like 'high quality', 'professional', or 'detailed'.

API Errors

Symptoms: Node fails with API errors

Solution: Verify your Together AI API key is valid and has sufficient credits. Check that the API service is accessible and not experiencing downtime.

Timeout Issues

Symptoms: Image generation takes too long or times out

Solution: Image generation can take 10-30 seconds. Ensure your workflow timeout settings allow sufficient time. Consider using simpler prompts for faster generation.

Inappropriate Content

Symptoms: Generation fails with content policy violation

Solution: Together AI has content policies. Ensure your prompt doesn't request prohibited content like violence, explicit material, or copyrighted characters.
