Image prompts and text prompts differ
An image prompt is a stack of keywords. A text prompt is a request. The model reads it as instructions, so structure matters more than vocabulary. Say what you want, give the context the model lacks, and show one example of the output you expect.
The habits from the walls still pay off. One change at a time. Test, compare, revise. Front-load what matters.
