Tips for Better Synthwave Prompts
Layer in lighting details like "soft diffused light" or "dramatic side light" to give Synthwave prompts more depth and realism.
Add composition cues — camera angle, framing, and background — to keep Synthwave results consistent across a shoot or series.
Combine Synthwave with a specific AI tool's strengths — Midjourney for atmosphere, DALL·E for literal accuracy, Stable Diffusion for fine control.
Name the exact style or medium up front — e.g. "Synthwave photography" or "Synthwave illustration" — so the AI locks onto the right visual language.
