Strengths & Prompt-Writing Comparison

DALL-E

Friendly to natural-language descriptionsConcept blending & creative ideasIllustration & cartoon styleLow barrier to entry
Writing full sentences, as if describing a painting, works better than stacking keywords. When you want a specific style, describe the feeling you're after rather than listing style jargon.

Seedream 4.0

Native Chinese prompt comprehensionProduct and still-life photographyEveryday scenes and festive subjectsSteady composition and color
Write in Chinese directly. Naming concrete materials and light directions (frosted glass, side backlight, linen weave) works far better than adjectives like "premium feel".
