The prompt

Prompt

A clean educational cross-section diagram of garden soil cut vertically to show four distinct horizons, dark crumbly topsoil flecked with visible organic matter, paler compacted subsoil, a band of broken stone, and solid bedrock at the base, with a carrot, a fibrous grass root system, an earthworm and a burrowing beetle drawn at their true depths within the correct layers, flat vector illustration style, muted natural browns and greens, clean even outlines, a wide blank margin down the right side reserved for labels, no text, no letters, no numbers

How to use this prompt

  1. 1

    Open the generator that matches the model and version above, and start a new image rather than editing an existing one.

  2. 2

    Set the output to 4:5. That is the only output setting recorded for this entry, and it is what produced the 612 × 768 image on this page.

  3. 3

    Paste the prompt exactly as written. Changing the wording changes the image, so copy it before you edit.

  4. 4

    Generate, then change one thing at a time. The result will not be pixel-identical to the image on this page, because no seed is recorded for it.

Only an aspect ratio is recorded for this entry. GPT Image and DALL·E do not expose a sampler, step count, or CFG value in the interface this was tested in, so there are no numbers to match — the prompt text and the aspect ratio are the whole instruction. Resize by describing the framing in words rather than reaching for a parameter.
