Step 5: Write your first image prompt

  1. Click the prompt box.

  2. Describe the image you want to create.

  3. Include the subject, style, lighting, background, and composition.

  4. Be specific rather than using only a few general words.

Example prompt to copy:

A futuristic AI robot sitting in a modern technology studio, glowing blue and purple lights, cinematic lighting, realistic metallic details, dark background, professional digital artwork, highly detailed composition.

Step 6: Choose an AI model and image settings

  1. Open the model selector if you want to choose a specific model.

For a beginner, start with the default settings and experiment once you understand the interface.

Step 7: Generate your first AI image

  1. Review your prompt and settings.

  2. Click Generate.

  3. Wait for the image generation process to finish.

  4. Review the generated results.

The number of images and generation speed may depend on your settings and available plan credits

Step 8: Edit or improve your generated image

  1. Select the image you want to improve.

  2. Look for available editing options, such as image editing, background removal, or upscaling.

  3. If supported, use an image reference to guide your changes.

  4. Write a clear instruction describing what you want changed.

  5. Generate or apply the edit and compare the result.

Example editing prompt: “Change the background to a futuristic city at night, keep the robot unchanged, and add soft blue lighting.”

Leonardo’s available editing tools can include image references, prompt-based editing, and upscaling. The exact tools depend on the workflow you choose.

Step 9: Download your finished image

  2. Look for the download icon or the image’s options menu.

  3. Select the available download option.

  4. Choose a format or resolution if prompted.

You can then use the image in blog posts, social media graphics, presentations, or other projects, subject to the applicable usage terms.

Step 10: Find and reuse your generated images
