4. Cautions
Don't Overdo It
Too many negatives restrict creativity and produce bland results. Basic set + 5โ10 situational tags is enough. Stay under 20 total.
Avoid Contradictions
If you want โred hairโ in your prompt, don't put โredโ in negatives โ they'll conflict.
Iterate Gradually
Start with the basic set. Add negatives only when you see specific problems in the output.
5. Pro Tips
Build Incrementally
Start with basics, generate, then add negatives for specific issues you see. More effective than dumping everything at once.
