Prefer option

With /prefer option, you can set up parameters that you can add to the end of prompts quickly and easily, making your workflow much smoother and more efficient.

How to create a custom option

  1. Type / prefer option set
  2. Select the option, and set a name
  3. Set the value for the option

By setting this option you just created a command called “IG” that translates to — upbeta — ar 9:16 which is perfect for IG story

Apply the Set Option to Your Job

After setting the option, it’s time to use it.

Add “— [ your option ]” to the end of your prompt.

/imagine prompt [ your prompt ] — [ your option ]

By typing /imagine prompt surrealistic bunny — IG, it will be interpreted into /imagine prompt surrealistic bunny — upbeta — ar 9:16

Note: You can add additional parameters to the prompt just don’t just the same parameters twice so they don’t clash with each other.
