Style library

Pick one look. Paste it into every prompt.

A style block is four things: palette, light quality, texture and realism level. Choosing one and reusing it unchanged across a whole project is the single biggest quality jump most students make.

Cinematic

Anamorphic width, shallow focus, controlled single-source light.
