How do I write good instructions?

With your own instructions, you control the AI edit in plain English. These edits do not use a brush or masking: you write what should happen, and Immopix carries it out. To crop a photo or highlight an area, use the separate

(/en/faq/image-editor/). Five rules help the AI understand what you mean.

The five rules

1. Be specific, not vague. "Make the image nicer" gives the AI nothing to work with. "Remove the bin in front of the garage" does.
2. State the position. Say where something should go: "on the left wall", "next to the door", "in the corner by the window". Without a location the AI decides for itself, and that goes wrong more often.
3. Say what has to stay. The AI sometimes changes more than you wanted. Protect important details explicitly: "The towel rail stays unchanged."
4. Small steps. One change per revision gives calmer results than five at once. First the sofa, then the rug.
5. Name colours and materials. "A light grey sofa and an oak coffee table" prevents a wild mix of styles.

Examples to copy

Furnish an empty living room:

Furnish the room in a modern style: a light grey sofa on the left wall, a wooden coffee table in front of it, a large plant in the corner by the window.

Furnish a bedroom:

Add a double bed with white bedding against the back wall, with a wooden bedside table and lamp on each side.

Show a tidy bathroom:

Remove all personal items. Add folded white towels and a small plant on the shelf. Fixtures and mirror stay unchanged.

Remove an object:

Remove the bins to the left of the entrance. The house number stays unchanged.

Place an object in a specific spot:

Put the washing machine and dryer side by side against the left wall. The toilet roll holder stays unchanged.

Improve an exterior shot:

Make the lawn look well kept and green, and remove the parked car in the driveway. House and garage stay unchanged.

The rug trick: Does the floor have stains or a busy pattern? Instead of fiddly retouching, ask for a rug:

Place a large, light rug in the middle of the room.

This hides the flaw and makes the room feel more homely.

The proportion anchor: If added furniture looks too big or too small, give the AI a fixed reference point in the room:

Add a chest of drawers that ends below the window sill.

That keeps the AI to the right scale.

Just one specific change and nothing else?

Deselect all templates and turn on "Lock camera angle". Immopix then carries out only your instruction and leaves the rest of the image unchanged. For how to do this, see How do I use the templates correctly?

English or German?

English instructions work just as well as German ones. Write in the language you think in.
