The Bottom Line

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".

Z-Image Turbo

Bilingual Chinese-English text renderingPhotoreal portraits and scenesExtremely fast generationReliable instruction following

With so few sampling steps, specificity pays. Put the frame and the subject's position at the very front and the style description after, or it will treat the style as the subject.
