Prompt and Magic Prompt
How to write effective image prompts in Qolaba and how to use Magic Prompt to automatically enhance them for better generation results.
Prompt & Magic Prompt
The prompt is the primary input for every image generation. It tells the model what to generate — the subject, environment, style, lighting, and mood. How you write it directly determines the quality, accuracy, and consistency of the output.
Writing an Effective Prompt
A strong image prompt covers four elements:
Subject
Who or what is the focus of the image
Environment
Where the scene takes place — setting, time of day, weather
Style & Medium
Visual aesthetic, artistic approach, or rendering style
Mood & Lighting
Emotional tone and how the scene is lit
Weak prompt:
A woman in a city.Strong prompt:
A professional woman in a tailored navy suit walking through a
rain-soaked Manhattan street at dusk, neon signs reflecting on
wet pavement, cinematic lighting, shallow depth of field,
photorealistic, highly detailed.The second prompt gives the model a subject, environment, style, mood, and lighting — producing a far more consistent and usable output.
Prompt Structure Guide
Build your prompt in layers — start with the subject, then add environment, then style, then mood and quality:
1. Lead with your subject
2. Add environment and setting
3. Define style and medium
4. Set mood, lighting, and quality

What to Avoid
Vague descriptors — "beautiful", "amazing", "cool" add no visual direction. Replace with specific visual attributes — "vibrant color palette", "dramatic shadows", "minimalist composition"
Contradictory instructions — "photorealistic watercolor" or "dark bright scene" confuse the model. Pick one clear direction
Overloading with unrelated elements — Keep each prompt focused on one scene or subject. Complex multi-element prompts produce inconsistent results
Describing abstract concepts without visual grounding — "the feeling of loneliness" needs a concrete visual anchor: "A solitary figure sitting on an empty park bench in winter fog"
Multi-Language Prompt Support
Prompts can be written in any language — the model interprets and generates based on the language of your input. This makes Image Generation natively accessible for non-English workflows without requiring translation.
Magic Prompt
Magic Prompt is an AI-powered enhancement tool that takes your prompt and rewrites it into a more detailed, generation-optimized version — automatically adding descriptive language, stylistic direction, and visual detail that improves output quality.
When to Use Magic Prompt
Use Magic Prompt when:
Your prompt is short or underdeveloped
You want richer stylistic output without detailed prompt engineering
You are exploring a new subject or style and want a stronger starting point
You are not getting the visual quality you expect from your current prompt
When to Skip Magic Prompt
Skip Magic Prompt when:
Your prompt is already highly specific and detailed
You are working with reference images where strict visual consistency matters
You need precise control over exactly what the model generates
You are using a custom preset that already handles style scaffolding
