GPT Image 2 Tutorial: Prompt Pack 1

If you are new to GPT Image 2, three questions usually come first: what it can do, where to run it, and how to write prompts that reliably match your intent. Model capabilities and pricing follow the official OpenAI documentation. This article focuses on prompt structure—splitting the request into subject, style, layout, and constraints works better than stacking vague adjectives.

The three examples below are cleaned up for reuse. Paste them into any GPT Image 2–compatible tool, tweak product names, palette, or aspect ratio, then generate.

Example 1: E-commerce / beauty “poster-style” product hero

When to use: hero shots, banners, catalog frames where you want unified color and poster-like negative space.

How to write: anchor on “similar reference style,” name the product category and layout, then lock on-image language so labels do not drift.

Prompt (copy)

An image in a similar style, a product image for lipstick, requiring color coordination and a grand aesthetic in a poster style, with language changed to Simplified Chinese.

Swap lipstick for your SKU (e.g. serum bottle). Change the last clause if you need English or another language on the artwork.

Example 2: 3:4 four-panel seasonal eye close-up

When to use: long vertical social posts, split-screen storytelling with strict per-panel checklists—good practice for long, structured prompts.

How to write: fix aspect ratio and order (spring → summer → autumn → winter). For each panel, list contacts, lashes props, cheek elements, central English lettering, calligraphy label, and lighting/color mood. Close with a global atmosphere line.

Prompt (copy)

From an eye close-up base image, generate a 3:4 ultra-realistic four-panel eye close-up composition, stacked top to bottom as spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

Panel 1: eyes with soft cherry-pink lenses; lashes dotted with tiny spring blossoms; cheeks with cherry petals and small yellow stamens; pink butterflies around the eyes; pale gold hair falling lightly; abundant cherry blossoms below; central white artistic text "SPRING"; delicate, soft light, pink-healing palette; calligraphy label meaning Spring below.

Panel 2: eyes with lotus-green lenses; lashes decorated with pink lotus and green leaves; cheeks with dewdrops, petals, and lotus; dragonflies nearby; pale gold hair glimpsed; central white artistic text "Summer"; clear, glassy light, cool palette; calligraphy label meaning Summer below.

Panel 3: eyes with gold-red lenses; lashes with orange-red maple; cheeks with autumn leaves; orange butterflies; pale gold hair hints; central white artistic text "AUTUMN"; warm golden light, rich warm colors; calligraphy label meaning Autumn below.

Panel 4: eyes with icy snow-blue lenses; lashes coated with frost and snowflakes; cheeks with snow and red winter sweet osmanthus; silvery butterflies; pale gold hair veiled in snow; central white artistic text "WINTER"; cold blue-white light, crisp pure tones; calligraphy label meaning Winter below.

Overall: dreamy seasonal eye narrative, fine-tune per-panel light intensity for stronger mood.

If one panel feels crowded, add a short negative cue such as “keep lettering off the pupil.”

Example 3: Anime portrait in a holographic “memory space”

When to use: character illustrations with light sci-fi mood; you need readable materials (knit, lace, sock bows) and scene hierarchy (terminal text, floating thumbnails).

How to write: one sentence for pose and expression; count hair ornaments to reduce omissions; layer environment (glass UI, particles, butterfly light); put terminal copy inside quotes with explicit line breaks.

Prompt (copy)

A dreamy anime portrait of Kotori, a delicate virtual girl seated on the floor in a curled-up pose with both knees pulled close to her chest and her arms wrapped gently around them, looking directly at the viewer with a soft, quiet, slightly melancholy expression. She has very long, flowing silver-lavender twin tails with wispy bangs, decorated with 8 visible hair ornaments: 2 large ribbon bows at the twin-tail bases, 3 small flower clips, 2 tiny butterfly clips, and 1 heart-shaped hairpin. Her eyes are large, luminous violet with glossy highlights. She wears an oversized pastel-lilac off-shoulder knit cardigan slipping loosely around her arms, a frilly lace-trimmed nightdress or camisole in pale lavender, and a pair of soft knee-high socks with 2 visible ribbon bows, all in a cohesive soft lavender and pastel purple palette. The scene is set inside a futuristic holographic memory space filled with floating translucent interface panels, glowing data windows, starry particles, and butterfly-shaped light motifs. Include a visible text panel on the left showing terminal-like white text that reads: "memory://\nUser: You\nAI: Kotori\n\nAccessing.\n> initializing\n> loading memory\n> 100%\n> welcome home." In the background, show a cosmic digital environment with a faint planet, layered transparent screens, and several floating image thumbnails suggesting memories and character sketches. Lighting is ethereal and backlit, with iridescent bloom, soft rim light, sparkling dust, and glossy highlights on hair and fabric. Composition is full-frame vertical, centered on the girl, intimate and emotionally warm, highly detailed, ultra-polished, soft-focus anime illustration, celestial cyber fantasy aesthetic, gentle purple glow, intricate lace, silky hair strands, and a tender "AI companion in her memory world" mood.

Replace Kotori, palette, and terminal copy with your own character bible.

Three dimensions that cut rework

Dimension	Tip
Subject & lens	Name who/what first, then shot size (close-up, full body) and angle.
Style & light	Use comparable references—“poster negative space,” “ultra-real,” “cel-shaded anime” beat a lone “beautiful.”
Type & layout	If you need lettering, specify placement (center, bottom) and color to reduce garbling.

Keep a “golden” prompt in your notes and only change the deltas each time—same structure, faster batches.
