Tips for Better Results
Always describe your actual product in detail. Instead of "perfume bottle," write "tall cylindrical perfume bottle with gold cap and amber-colored liquid." The more specific, the more accurate the output. Use reference images with Midjourney's image prompting feature (`/imagine [image URL] [text prompt]`) to maintain consistency across multiple shots.
