Prompts
Flux has no negative-prompt field — everything is steered through positive description
A prompt written with a negative-prompt section, copied over from a Midjourney or Stable Diffusion habit, simply does nothing in Flux. The model has no such field — steering has to happen entirely through what you describe wanting.

The structural difference that breaks copied prompts
Flux has no negative-prompt parameter at all — a habit carried over from other image models, listing what to avoid in a separate negative field, simply does nothing here. Every steering decision has to happen through positive description: instead of "no blurry background," describe the sharp background you actually want. The Flux prompt library is written around that constraint specifically.
Product photography with a real photographic vocabulary
A clean e-commerce product shot on white background — this prompt — and an editorial lifestyle photograph — covered here — both lean on real photographic vocabulary (lighting setup, lens characteristics, composition) rather than vague style adjectives, since Flux responds to that specificity measurably better.
Kontext: consistent characters and lifestyle compositing
Flux Kontext keeping a character consistent across scenes — this prompt — and compositing a product photo into a lifestyle scene — covered here — use Kontext's specific reference-image capability rather than a from-scratch generation.
Fill: outpainting, inpainting, and virtual staging
Extending an image's canvas to a new aspect ratio — outpainting with Flux Fill — removing or replacing an object — inpainting, covered here — and virtual staging an empty room — this prompt — are three distinct editing tasks Fill handles, each needing its own specific framing.
Depth and Redux: structural transfer and restyling
Transferring pose and layout structure from a reference — this Depth prompt — keeps a composition's structure while changing its content. Restyling an existing photo for a new season or mood with Redux — covered here — changes the feel while keeping the underlying subject recognisable.
Flux 2 and Schnell: multi-reference sets and rapid ideation
Flux 2's multi-reference capability generating a consistent product angle set — this prompt — and a UGC-style influencer ad photo — covered here — lean on the newer model's reference handling. Flux Schnell's rapid concept ideation batch — this prompt — trades some quality for speed, useful specifically for exploring many directions fast before committing to one.
Print resolution and painterly illustration
A genuinely high-resolution print or poster brief — this prompt — plans for the resolution demands of physical printing specifically, not just screen display. And Flux 1 Dev's painterly concept-art illustration — covered here — targets a genuinely different, non-photographic aesthetic.
When generated imagery needs to become a full campaign
These prompts produce strong individual images across many use cases. Coordinating consistent imagery across a full campaign or product line is bigger creative direction work. That's the scope Scult's branding team covers, or book a meeting to talk through your campaign.
