Prompt order

Prompt order matters. Generally speaking the AI considers whatever you write first as more important than what you write later. So if you want to make sure something has a larger impact, mention it first. Lets go back to the basic prompt from the previous page.

An oil painting of a Dwarf warrior, with (red) hair, holding a sword, Surrealism, dark, moddy, by Rembrant

As you can see, by rebramt is in the prompt, but its not having a major effect. So lets change our prompt to:

by Rembrant, An oil painting of a Dwarf warrior, with (red) hair, holding a sword, Surrealism, dark, moddy,

As you can see, the effect is much stronger. The clothing has changed and even the way the image looks like.

Another place where its particularly noticeable is when you use multiple colors in a prompt:

As you can see, in the first example, the AI decided to not make the dress but rather the flowers red. The dress became blue, as blue is listed first in the order.
