Starter collections

A new install starts with a prompt library filed in four collections. This page shows what is in them, and what one prompt becomes in each.

One prompt

The library has a shelf called Showcase with a single row in it, and the rule [showcase] points at that row. Its text is six keywords and nothing else:

[style], [character], [expression], [action], [scene], [lighting]

Each keyword is answered from the collection chosen in the Collection drop-down at the top of the rules panel. Change the drop-down and every keyword is answered again, with no rule edited. The colours below are the ones the app's own preview uses: each stretch of text is painted in the colour of the keyword that put it there.

General

natural photograph, realistic detail, true-to-life colors, a young woman in her twenties with wavy shoulder-length hair, wearing a denim jacket and jeans, she is laughing, her eyes bright, she smiles as she takes a selfie, holding her phone up at arm's length, on an outdoor tennis court with spectators watching from the bleachers, warm golden hour light, long soft shadows

General is the collection every other one falls back to. A keyword that another collection has no shelf for is answered from here.

Its shelves, and the rows on each:

Female, Hair, Outfit, Male and Shot are General's alone. No starter collection has a shelf for them, so [hair] or [shot] means the same in all four.

Fantasy World

classic storybook illustration, soft watercolor washes, fine ink outlines, warm inviting colors, an old wizard with a long white beard and bushy eyebrows, wearing star-patterned blue robes and a tall pointed hat, wide-eyed with wonder, leaning over an open treasure chest that spills golden light, in an enchanted forest of twisting ancient trees, giant glowing mushrooms and drifting fireflies, warm golden hour light, long soft shadows

Out of the box this collection has three characters ticked, Old Wizard, Elf Girl and Baby Dragon, so one click on Run queues three jobs: the paragraph above and the same again for the other two.

Fantasy World has no Lighting shelf of its own, on purpose: the last stretch above is General's Golden Hour. That is the fall back at work.

Cyberpunk

cinematic cyberpunk film still, moody neon noir, anamorphic lens flares, deep contrast, a sleek android with white ceramic plating, visible joints and softly glowing blue seams, grinning with wide-eyed thrill, riding a sleek hover-bike low over the street, leaning into the turn, on a rain-slick street between towering buildings covered in glowing neon signs and holograms, lit by magenta and cyan neon, colored reflections on every surface

Out of the box this collection has three characters ticked, Android, Street Kid and Netrunner, so one click on Run queues three jobs: the paragraph above and the same again for the other two.

Futuristic Space

stylized 3D animated film still, soft rounded shapes, gently exaggerated cartoon proportions, smooth clean shading, a small friendly robot with a rounded white body, big glowing blue eyes and two stubby antennae, eyes wide and bright with excitement, beaming with delight, riding in the cockpit of a small spacecraft that looks like a classic rocket ship, both hands on the controls, stars streaking past the round cockpit window, a ringed planet glowing ahead, warm glow from the control panel, colorful indicator lights

Out of the box this collection has three characters ticked, Robot, Little Boy and Little Girl, so one click on Run queues three jobs: the paragraph above and the same again for the other two.

Make your own

Collections are added, renamed and removed on the Prompts page. A new collection starts empty and borrows every keyword from General; give it a shelf and that keyword becomes its own. How collections work has the rules.
