The prompt
Prompt
A photorealistic street photograph of a narrow urban alley at night during heavy rain, wet cobblestones reflecting pink and cyan neon signs in rippling streaks, a red lantern glowing above a noodle bar entrance, steam venting from a street grate, a single distant figure with an umbrella blurred by motion, rain streaks cutting diagonal across the frame under the streetlight, shallow puddles mirroring the signs, a tangle of overhead cables, 35mm lens look with slight grain, cinematic teal-and-magenta color grading, no text, no readable signs, no signatureHow to use this prompt
- 1
Open the generator that matches the model and version above, and start a new image rather than editing an existing one.
- 2
Set the output to 16:9. That is the only output setting recorded for this entry, and it is what produced the 768 × 432 image on this page.
- 3
Paste the prompt exactly as written. Changing the wording changes the image, so copy it before you edit.
- 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.
