Tool stack
Which AI should you use for each step?
ChatGPT Images
Practical image generation and editing when you want a conversational workflow.
Claude
Prompt writing, critique, composition analysis, and visual planning. Claude can help describe the image, not generate the raster image.
Runway / Photoshop
Motion, cleanup, object edits, background work, and final production.
Workflow
From empty idea to usable result.
1. Define the purpose
Is it a cover, product image, hero image, thumbnail, or campaign visual? The purpose decides format, detail level, and style.
2. Build the image prompt
Use subject, action, environment, composition, light, lens, style, color, texture, and what should not appear.
3. Ask Claude or ChatGPT to improve it
Ask for three prompt variants: realistic, editorial, and cinematic. Pick one direction instead of mixing everything.
4. Generate in Midjourney or ChatGPT Images
Midjourney is strong for atmosphere and style studies. ChatGPT Images is useful when you want a conversational edit loop.
5. Finish outside the generator
Add text, logos, exact margins, and export formats in Canva, Figma, or Photoshop. AI image tools are not always reliable with typography.
Concrete examples
Make the workflow visible before you start.
Ask Claude to critique composition, simplify the brief, and turn the idea into three image prompts.
Use Midjourney for dramatic style exploration, album covers, thumbnails, and moodboards.
Use Canva, Figma, or Photoshop for text, cropping, brand rules, and final export.
Starter prompt
Use this as your first brief.
Create a 16:9 hero image for a beginner guide about AI. Calm workspace, laptop with a friendly AI interface, bright daylight, subtle futuristic details, realistic, no text, no logo.
