Create a restrained atmospheric interior
Specify the palette, shadow detail and pool of light behind an atmospheric scene.
What to provide
- A permitted subject description. This example was generated from text only, without a reference image.
Example Recorded test output
Input
Create a square cinematic photographic illustration of a single wooden chair beside a tall rain-streaked window in a quiet dark reading room. Use cool slate-blue shadows, a narrow soft pool of window light across the chair seat and floor, restrained contrast and visible detail in dark areas. Leave ample negative space around the chair; no theatrical fog. The mood comes from lighting, palette and framing. No people, text, books with visible lettering, logos or watermark. This is generated fictional concept art.
Output
One chair stands in a narrow pool of window light. The slate-blue walls, rain-streaked glass and readable shadows create the intended restrained atmosphere. A bookcase and trailing plant were added.
Tool settings
One text-to-image run; 1254 x 1254 PNG. Opaque background. Codex built-in image_gen; model name, seed and quality control not exposed by the tool.
