Getting started
Text to image
Everything you need to create your first image in Lumen Landmark: how to describe what you want, pick a resolution, guide the result with references, and keep what you love.
Text to image is the heart of Lumen Landmark: you describe a picture in plain words and the app creates it in about 8 seconds. No settings to learn, no prompt tricks required. The words are the controls.
Describe the scene, don't list keywords
The model behind Lumen Landmark understands language deeply, so it does its best work with sentences, not strings of tags. "Castle, night, moon, fog, dramatic" gives it fragments. "A lonely castle on a cliff at night, wrapped in fog, lit from behind by a full moon" gives it a scene.
The simplest recipe is a subject, doing something, somewhere: "a fox curled up in a snowy pine forest." One sentence is enough to start. Every extra detail is a brushstroke, not a requirement.
- Start with the subject: what the image is of.
- Add a style: photoreal, anime, oil painting, concept art.
- Set the mood: lighting, weather, color, atmosphere.
Stuck on wording? Discover images in the app and copy the prompt behind any one you like, then change it toward your idea.
Specific beats vague
"Fantasy armor" could be a thousand images. "Ornate elven plate armor etched with silver leaf, a high collar, pauldrons shaped like falcon wings" is one image, and probably the one in your head. When a detail matters to you, say it.
For realism, speak photography
The fastest way to a photoreal image is camera language. Name the shot and the light: "a close-up portrait, 85mm lens, shallow depth of field, soft golden-hour light through a window." Terms like macro shot, wide angle, low angle, and three-point studio lighting steer the image the way they would steer a real camera.
For illustration, name the style
Stylized art rewards being explicit about the ingredients: the style, the line, the shading, the palette. "A kawaii sticker of a red panda in a bamboo hat, bold clean outlines, simple cel-shading, vibrant colors, white background" leaves nothing to chance.
Putting words inside the image
Want a poster, an invitation, or a logo with text? Put the exact words in quotes and keep them short: "a minimalist coffee shop logo with the text 'The Daily Grind' in a clean bold sans-serif." It works across many languages. Long sentences inside images are still hard for every model, so refine in small steps if a letter goes astray.
Say what you want, not what you don't
The model listens harder to presence than absence. Instead of "a street with no cars", write "an empty, deserted street." Positive descriptions land more reliably than negations.
Ask for the impossible
Nothing says the scene has to exist. A library inside a whale, a city grown from coral, a thunderstorm in a teacup: imaginary places are described the same way real ones are, and the model paints them just as happily. Don't trim the idea down before you've tried it.
If a detail comes out soft
Tiny faces in wide shots, long passages of text, and very fine details are the hardest things for any image model. The move is to get closer: describe a tighter shot, shorten the text, or upscale the image and refine the detail that matters.
Pick a shape and resolution
Pick the shape for where the image will live: portrait for phones, square for posts, wide for desktops. Then choose the resolution: 1K for quick drafts, 2K for sharing, 4K for print. You can also upscale any image later. Lumen Landmark re-renders it at the higher resolution with real added detail, keeping the composition intact.
Guide it with references
Set up to 3 saved images as references and the new image follows them. Use a reference to keep a character's face consistent across scenes, carry a style from one image to the next, or echo a composition you love.
Save what you love
Save any image into a collection with one tap. Collections keep your work organized your way, and each image you save sharpens the suggestions you see, tuned to that collection, so inspiration gets more personal over time.
Refine from there
An image you like is a starting point, not an end. Describe a change in plain words and Lumen Landmark applies it while keeping the composition. The next guide, Editing with prompts, covers the full toolkit.
