For checkpoints
A structured guide with 20 prompting tips each for Juggernaut Diffusion XL, Pony Diffusion V6 XL, and general checkpoints, tailored for beginners in AI image generation:
🌟 20 Tips for Juggernaut Diffusion XL (Realism Focus)
1. Use photography terms: "DSLR photo, Kodak Portra 800, 85mm lens, shallow depth of field".
2. Specify lighting: "cinematic lighting, golden hour, soft shadows, rim lighting".
3. Add textures: "detailed pores, skin imperfections, fabric wrinkles, sweat droplets".
4. Mention real-world brands: "Nikon camera, Leica lens, Arri lighting" boosts realism.
5. Weight anatomy terms: "(natural proportions:1.3), realistic weight distribution".
6. Avoid anime terms: Exclude "anime, cel-shaded, chibi" unless blending styles.
7. Use environment cues: "urban decay, mossy rocks, weathered wood" for context.
8. Leverage LoRAs: Add [Realistic Vision] for photorealism.
9. Specify materials: "matte leather, polished metal, frosted glass".
10. Include age details: "wrinkles, age spots, greying hair" for authenticity.
11. Avoid over-detailing: Terms like "hyperdetailed" can cause noise.
12. Use CFG 6–8: Higher values (e.g., 10) create oversharpened artifacts.
13. Add film grain: "35mm film grain, subtle noise" mimics analog photos.
14. Specify poses: "candid posture, unposed, mid-action" for dynamic shots.
15. Reference artists: "inspired by Gregory Crewdson, Annie Leibovitz" for style.
16. Use negative prompts: Block "plastic texture, doll-like, cartoon".
17. Mention weather: "rain-soaked, foggy atmosphere, dusty air" adds mood.
18. Describe focus: "foreground bokeh, background blur, tack-sharp eyes".
19. Avoid conflicting terms: Don’t mix "soft focus" with "ultra-sharp".
20. Test resolutions: Use 1024x1024 or 896x1152 for stability.
🦄 20 Tips for Pony Diffusion V6 XL (Anime/Furry Focus)
1. Anime aesthetics: Start prompts with "anime artwork, vibrant colors, cel-shaded".
2. Use furry terms: "fluffy tail, digitigrade legs, paw pads, animal ears".
3. Weight body parts: "(expressive eyes:1.4), (fluffy fur:1.3)".
4. Avoid realism terms: Exclude "photorealistic, DSLR" unless hybridizing.
5. Specify art styles: "Studio Ghibli, cyberpunk anime, pastel dreamcore".
6. Fix anatomy: Add "perfect symmetry, balanced proportions" to positives.
7. Block mutations: Use negatives like "extra limbs, fused fingers, malformed paws".
8. Use anime LoRAs: [AnimePastelDream] for soft styles.
9. Describe clothing: "school uniform, cybernetic armor, magical girl outfit".
10. Add sparkles: "magic glow, sparkles, ethereal particles" for fantasy.
11. Leverage embeddings: [BadHands4] fixes finger issues.
12. Control CFG (7–8): Higher values exaggerate anime features.
13. Use dynamic poses: "mid-jump, dramatic pose, flowing hair".
14. Specify fur textures: "silky fur, striped tail, gradient mane".
15. Avoid NSFW tags: Use "rating_safe, modest clothing" for clean outputs.
16. Mention lighting: "neon glow, bioluminescent, soft studio lighting".
17. Reference series: "inspired by Sailor Moon, My Hero Academia" for familiarity.
18. Use negative templates: Block "3D render, realism, photo".
19. Test resolutions: 832x1216 or 768x1024 works best.
20. Layer prompts: Separate concepts with BREAK for clarity.
🎨 20 General Tips for Any Checkpoint (Beginners)
1. Start simple: Begin with short prompts, then add details incrementally.
2. Use quality boosters: "masterpiece, best quality, ultra-detailed".
3. Negative prompts matter: Always include a basic template like "low-res, blurry".
4. Learn model strengths: Research if a checkpoint favors realism, anime, or abstraction.
5. Experiment with samplers: Test Euler a (fast) vs. DPM++ 2M Karras (detailed).
6. Adjust CFG scale: Start at 7, then tweak (lower = creative, higher = strict).
7. Use weights sparingly: (keyword:1.3) works; avoid ((())) overloading.
8. Test resolutions: Match the model’s training size (e.g., 1024x1024 for SDXL).
9. Leverage embeddings/LoRAs: Install tools like [Detail Tweaker]
10. Avoid contradictions: Don’t mix "realistic" and "cartoon" in one prompt.
11. Describe composition: "rule of thirds, centered subject, leading lines".
12. Use reference artists: "style of Van Gogh, Hayao Miyazaki" for direction.
13. Inpaint selectively: Fix small errors (e.g., hands) with masked regeneration.
14. Batch test: Generate 4–8 variants to compare settings.
15. Learn from communities: Join CivitAI, Reddit’s r/StableDiffusion for tips.
16. Control lighting: Terms like "rim light, volumetric fog" add depth.
17. Avoid over-prompting: Too many details confuse the model.
18. Use seeds: Reuse a seed (`--seed 1234`) to tweak outputs slightly.
19. Study presets: Many UIs (A1111, Comfy) have built-in model-specific settings.
20. Stay ethical: Avoid generating harmful or non-consensual content.
For Loras
A comprehensive guide with 30 actionable tips for beginners to effectively use LoRAs (Low-Rank Adaptations) in AI image generation, covering diverse types (styles, anatomy, clothing, environments, etc.):
1. General LoRA Basics
1. Start Small: Use low strength values (0.3–0.6) to avoid overpowering the base model.
2. Check Compatibility: Ensure the LoRA matches your checkpoint (SD 1.5, SDXL, etc.).
3. Read Documentation: Many LoRAs require trigger words (e.g., cyberpunkstyle for cyberpunk LoRAs).
4. Layer Strategically: Combine ≤3 LoRAs at once (e.g., Style + Anatomy Fixer + Clothing).
5. Test in Batches: Generate 4–8 images to gauge LoRA impact.
2. Style-Specific LoRAs (Anime, Realism, Watercolor, etc.)
6. Anime Styles: Use terms like anime artwork, vibrant colors, cel-shaded with LoRAs like AnimePastelDream.
7. Realism Boosters: Pair terms like DSLR photo, skin texture with Realistic Vision LoRA.
8. Artistic Effects: For watercolor LoRAs, add watercolor painting, brush strokes, soft gradients.
9. Avoid Style Clashes: Don’t mix realism and anime LoRAs unless intentionally hybridizing.
10. Weighted Prompts: Use (cyberpunkstyle:1.2) to emphasize a style LoRA’s trigger.
3. Anatomy & Detail Enhancers (Hands, Faces, Textures)
11. Fix Hands: Use BadHands4 LoRA with prompts like natural hands, detailed fingers.
12. Enhance Faces: Pair DetailTweaker LoRA with high-resolution eyes, pores, subtle makeup.
13. Weight Critical Terms: (perfect symmetry:1.3) to override model biases.
14. Avoid Overlap: Don’t use two anatomy LoRAs (e.g., Hands + Feet) unless tested.
15. Refine Skin: Add skin texture, pores, wrinkles with SkinDetailXL LoRA.
4. Clothing & Accessory LoRAs
16. Specify Materials: For Leather Armor LoRA, use matte leather, metal rivets, worn edges.
17. Control Density: Use minimal jewelry or layered clothing to avoid clutter.
18. Historical Styles: Pair MedievalGarb LoRA with chainmail, embroidery, cloak.
19. Modern Fashion: Use StreetwearXL LoRA + oversized hoodie, distressed jeans.
20. Block Unwanted Items: Add no necklaces, no earrings to negatives if needed.
5. Environment & Background LoRAs
21. Set the Scene: For CyberCity LoRA, use neon lights, rainy streets, holograms.
22. Depth Cues: Add depth of field, atmospheric perspective with BokehMaster LoRA.
23. Nature LoRAs: Use EnchantedForest + mossy rocks, sunlight rays, fog.
24. Weather Effects: Pair StormySkies LoRA with dark clouds, rain streaks, lightning.
25. Avoid Crowding: Use simple background if the scene feels chaotic.
6. Character & Creature LoRAs
26. Fantasy Races: For ElvenGrace LoRA, add pointed ears, ethereal glow, intricate robes.
27. Animal Hybrids: Use FurryRefiner LoRA + fluffy tail, paw pads, whiskers.
28. Mythical Beasts: Pair DragonScale LoRA with iridescent scales, fiery breath, wings.
29. Avoid Uncanny Valley: Use natural proportions for human-animal hybrids.
30. Species-Specific Terms: For Mermaid LoRAs, include fins, scales, underwater lighting.
7. Advanced Tips
- Use Embeddings: Combine LoRAs with embeddings like EasyNegative for better control.
- Adjust CFG Scale: Lower CFG (5–7) reduces LoRA intensity; higher (8–10) amplifies it.
- Inpainting: Fix LoRA artifacts (e.g., mismatched clothing) with masked regeneration.
- VRAM Management: Limit active LoRAs if you have <12GB VRAM.
By experimenting with these tips, beginners can harness LoRAs to refine AI-generated art while avoiding common pitfalls. 🎨🔧

ablahblahblah🥇: https://civitai.com/user/ablahblahblah he commented in our article that, "
no necklace, no earrings" in negative prompt 'no' is implied, so i think "necklace, earrings" would work better (True)
