What not to do

Mistakes that ruin the result

In Nano Banana 2 Lite

Do not use for final portraits — facial likeness in Lite is lower than in Nano Banana 2.
Do not ask for text longer than a couple of words.
Complex scenes: too many objects confuse it

General rules for images

Do not write «beautiful, masterpiece, 8k» instead of a description — the model does not know your taste.
Avoid contradictions: «night» and «bright sunshine» in the same frame.
Do not list five styles at once — pick one.
Do not use other people’s faces and logos without owners’ permission.
