Strengths & Prompt-Writing Comparison

GPT Image 2.5

Executing long paragraph-length scene descriptionsFine gradation in materials and lightingStable letterforms for in-image text and layoutProduct and still-life texture fidelity

Split the frame into four blocks - subject, environment, light, camera - and write each separately; that works far better than piling on style words. It is also more reliable than the previous version at local edits phrased as "change only this one thing, leave the rest alone".

Mixing Chinese and English in one prompt still parses fine. When you need Chinese text to appear in the image, put the exact wording in quotes and specify its position and size too.
